Brain Injury Awareness Day at the Capitol highlighted the challenges faced by survivors and their families, while drawing attention to the services and support needed throughout the recovery process.

As co-chair of the Pennsylvania Brain Injury Caucus, I joined survivors, caregivers, advocates, healthcare professionals and fellow lawmakers for this annual event focused on increasing awareness and understanding of brain injury.

Throughout the day, we heard powerful stories of resilience and recovery, as well as discussions about the importance of rehabilitation services, community support and continued advocacy. I also shared my family's experience with my daughter, Lauren, whose life and legacy continue to inspire my commitment to supporting individuals and families affected by brain injury.

Brain injuries can affect every aspect of a person's life, creating challenges that are often invisible to others. Discussions also highlighted efforts to increase awareness and improve support systems, including programs such as Pennsylvania's Blue Envelope Program, which helps individuals with communication barriers during interactions with law enforcement.

By listening to survivors and their families and working alongside advocates and providers, we can continue building a Commonwealth where people living with brain injuries have access to the resources, understanding and support they need.

Raising awareness and expanding support for individuals living with brain injuries was the focus of Brain Injury Awareness Day at the Capitol.

As co-chair of the Pennsylvania Brain Injury Caucus, I joined survivors, caregivers, advocates, healthcare professionals and fellow lawmakers to discuss the challenges many individuals and families face following a brain injury. The day also provided an opportunity to hear powerful stories of resilience, recovery and hope.

By continuing to promote awareness, strengthen support services and listen to those with lived experience, we can help ensure Pennsylvanians living with brain injuries have the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.

Today, I was delighted to welcome Reyna Waterman to the Pennsylvania State Capitol in recognition of her winning essay in my "There Ought to Be a Law" contest.

Reyna, a fifth-grade student at DeFranco Elementary School, was selected for her proposal that every child should receive a free lunch at school. During her visit to the Capitol, we met in the Governor's Reception Room and signed a commemorative piece of mock legislation inspired by her winning idea.

The contest encourages students to think about how laws are made and how they can help identify challenges in their communities and propose meaningful solutions. Reyna's submission stood out for its kindness, thoughtfulness, and focus on helping fellow students.

Reyna visited the Capitol with her mother, Lauren, and later they were recognized as special guests in the House gallery during session. View their introduction here: https://pagopvideo.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/135376707.mp4

Congratulations, Reyna, and thank you for participating in this year's contest. It was wonderful to welcome you to the Capitol, and I wish you all the best in the future!

Portland Founders’ Day was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the borough’s history and enjoy the sense of community that makes events like this so special. This year’s event was especially meaningful as Portland marked its 150th anniversary. I was glad to join Saturday’s festivities and connect with so many residents of the 138th District.

My legislative aide, Ann Knecht, joined me for the event, where we welcomed visitors and shared information about upcoming events and the services available through my office. It was a pleasure to spend time with members of the Portland community while helping them stay informed about what’s happening throughout the district.

Local events like Founders’ Day are an important part of what makes our communities special, bringing people together around a shared sense of history and hometown pride. I appreciated the opportunity to be part of the day and spend time with the people who make the Portland community such a great place to call home.

On Thursday, I was honored to join the Bridge Educational Foundation for its scholarship check presentation at Notre Dame High School in Easton, announcing $268,000 in scholarship funding for Lehigh Valley families.

The funding is provided through Pennsylvania’s Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) programs, which help eligible families access scholarships for their children’s education. These programs give families more options when choosing an educational setting that best meets their children’s needs.

The scholarship funding was supported by JL Mann Consulting, Wells Fargo and Waste Management. I appreciate the foundation’s work to connect families with these opportunities and the support of the businesses helping make this funding possible throughout the Lehigh Valley.

It was a pleasure to attend this event along with PA State Rep. Joe Emrick.

I'm pleased to announce that I will be introducing two bills as part of a six-bill legislative package aimed at making property taxes more predictable and strengthening protections for Pennsylvania taxpayers.

The first bill would limit annual county property tax rate increases to the lesser of 4% or the applicable regional inflation rate, unless voters approve a larger increase through a referendum. The measure is intended to encourage consistent county budgeting and protect homeowners from sudden, substantial tax hikes.

My second bill would prevent school districts from circumventing voter approval requirements through alternative borrowing arrangements. The proposal complements legislation introduced by Rep. Jack Rader (R-Monroe) that would require voter approval for major school construction and renovation debt, with limited exceptions for emergencies.

Counties shouldn’t be able to kick the can down the road with years of zero property tax increases and then a sudden 43.5% increase like was just proposed in Northampton County, or Allegheny County’s 36% increase in 2025, or Dauphin County’s 21.8% increase in 2025.

It’s bad government, and my legislation will bring some much-needed predictability and accountability to county budgeting while giving taxpayers the final say when officials want to raise taxes beyond a reasonable limit.

At a time when the rising costs of oil, gas and electricity are already putting a strain on seniors and families, another significant property tax increase would only add to the financial burden facing residents.

Together, the two bills are part of a broader property tax reform package introduced by Flood and Reps. Tim O’Neal (R-Washington), Marc Anderson (R-York), Rader (R-Monroe) and Ryan Warner (R-Fayette). The six-bill package also includes proposals to require voter approval for certain school property tax increases, increase accountability in education spending and provide counties with another option for reducing property taxes.

The proposals seek to give taxpayers a greater voice in decisions that affect their household budgets while encouraging greater accountability in local government spending.
