We're hearing this budget will include a 41% increase (now $400 mil. dollars) in taxpayer money going to private schools that can refuse ANY STUDENT FOR ANY REASON with NO performance or fiscal accountability. We must end these giveaways for the elite, and support public schools!

It's outrageous that any lawmaker would insert themselves into a decision that should be made between a pregnant person and their doctor. Tearing away the rights of women and pregnant people will not end abortion; it will only make abortion dangerous. #BansOffOurBodies

☀️Solar For Schools☀️continues to garner attention across the Commonwealth! As I said when I intro'd this legislation: “On-site solar can reduce energy costs and save Pennsylvania districts and state universities hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.”

I just spoke on the House floor against the state budget. It doesn’t do nearly enough to invest in Philly or Pa. In fact, it’s notable what this budget does NOT do: -Dramatically improve school UNDERfunding -Raise the minimum wage -End toxic schools -Help small biz owners

Happy Inauguration Day! It is a true honor to serve in the Pennsylvania State House! I will continue to fight for the people of South Philadelphia and for working people across our commonwealth to be treated with dignity and respect. Thank you!

Chaos temporarily reigned in the #PASenate chamber during start of debate over eliminating general assistance. In a moment of confusion, @senatorscarnati took over the podium from @JohnFetterman , who in a brief interview said of the Senate GOP: "They invoked the nuclear option."

>Short version: 🌈We need reliable revenue streams for such fundamental parts of our government as ensuring clean water and air. 🔥Doubling down on fossil fuels will hold us back from the GOOD JOBS in retrofitting and renewable energy that our constituents need. (3/3)

The decision to overturn Roe is about more than just abortion. It’s part of a larger failure by the GOP — and our society — to respect the bodies, the lives, and the work of women. Read more of my piece in today’s Inquirer:

Taxes are too high for working and poor people in PA and unfairly low for the super-rich. We need a better system. Repealing the uniformity clause would allow us to adopt a progressive tax rate, so the ultra-rich pay their fair share to fund our communities. #TaxTheRich 💸

This afternoon I expect a House floor vote on HB950! This bill, which I introduced with my colleague @RepPisciottano would enshrine into the PA Constitution a right to organize and collectively bargain. 1/4

Republicans have the votes today, but to enact this change, Republicans will need to pass it through the legislature again next year, and voters would need to approve the change as a ballot question. 2/3 #AbortionBan

This is designed to sidestep this governor or the next. To get this passed, they’d 1) need to pass it again in the legislature next year, and 2) get voters to approve it as a ballot question. 2/3 #AbortionBan

I'm proud to be one of the 20 Philadelphia State Representatives demanding a just and fair contract for @PMA_Union workers. I will be at the PMA tomorrow to support those workers and to let @philamuseum VIPs understand that if there's NO CONTRACT there can be NO MATISSE.

I’m incredibly saddened by the mass shooting at Robb Elementary school in Texas yesterday. I’m also incredibly frustrated that my Republican colleagues in the State House refuse to even consider restricting access to military-grade weapons. 1/3

The decision to end the national moratorium on evictions just as school stars and less than two weeks before Pandemic Unemployment benefits expire for 300,000 Pennsylvanians disregarded the reality many renters have been facing.
