Harrisburg, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that it has committed $470.2 million in liquid fuels payments to help certified municipalities maintain their roads and bridges. This year’s allocation is approximately 3 percent higher than last year’s. Fixing and maintaining Pennsylvania’s roads, highways and bridges is a top priority of the Shapiro administration. Today’s announcement builds on Governor Shapiro’s commitment to ensuring Pennsylvanians can travel across the Commonwealth safely.
“We have the fifth-largest state-maintained road system in the country, and there are even more locally owned roads and bridges,” said Acting PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “These critical investments help keep our communities safe and connected.”
FacebookWebsiteBioLatest NewsState FormsPhoto GalleryContact Capitol Update Friday, March 3, 2023 The latest news from the State Capitol You are welcome to contact me through this link. Helping Ease the Burden of Inflation In an effort to ease the increasing burden of inflation on all Pennsylvanians, a package of tax relief proposals was unveiled this week at the Capitol. The measures range from cutting taxes on energy and frequent family purchases, such as pet food and children’s toys, to reducing property taxes and cell phone bills. Lowering the tax burden on Pennsylvania families will help them better deal with the impacts of the rising costs of food, fuel and other necessities. Collectively, the measures could help save families more than $2.2 billion. A recent report from the state’s Independent Fiscal Office (IFO) comparing the tax burdens in all 50 states ranked Pennsylvania 21st in total taxes, including the Personal Income, Sales and Use, and Property taxes. The ranking is based on the ratio of total taxes to personal income. Pennsylvania’s ratio was 10.08%. The measures will be introduced in the state House. Session Update: New Speaker, House Rules, Budget Address Next Week After serving just eight weeks as speaker of the House, and conducting very little business on behalf of the people of this Commonwealth, Democrat Mark Rozzi resigned the position this week. With a slim Democrat majority of 102-100 (there is one vacancy) in the state House, Rep. Joanna McClinton of Philadelphia and Delaware counties was then elected as the chamber’s first female speaker of the House and the second African American speaker. Operating rules for the chamber, which are typically adopted on the day we take the oath of office, were finally approved this week as well. While I opposed the rules because I believe they aim to silence the voices of the people I represent – and they fail to adequately protect against sexual harassment of members, staff or people who visit or do business in the House – I am committed to fighting for policies that benefit our citizens and our communities. This Tuesday, Gov. Josh Shapiro is scheduled to deliver his budget address before a joint session of the House and Senate. This marks the start of the annual state budget process. As always, my priorities remain to keep spending in check while funding the core functions of government and supporting the needs of rural PA. The address will start at 11:30 and can be viewed at PAHouseGOP.com. Property Tax/Rent Rebate Clinics a Success!

Bills to Combat Fraud, Wasteful Spending Unveiled Following a roundtable discussion last week hosted by the House Republican Appropriations Committee, a group of lawmakers gathered this week to highlight a series of bills aimed at reducing fraud within state government, specifically when it comes to Medicaid. The measures would create a state version of the federal False Claims Act, which would better allow the Commonwealth to recoup losses resulting from false claims made against Medicaid; create mechanisms to prevent improper payments of benefits; require contractors to have provider identification numbers to better track services; and allow fines to be levied in cases of provider preventable conditions. Read more here. Grants Available to Help Grow Farm Businesses Recognizing the importance of investing in the state’s top industry of agriculture, applications are now being accepted for Farm Vitality Planning Grants.

Applications for the program exceeded the funding originally available, and the PA Agriculture Business Development Center has set aside additional dollars to meet demand for the program.

Applications will be accepted until funds are exhausted. Apply online through the Department of Community and Economic Development’s single electronic application.

Harrisburg, PA – The Shapiro Administration is reminding Pennsylvanians about the multiple ways to access the life-saving opioid reversal medication, naloxone, as nearly 23,000 opioid overdose reversals have been made with naloxone purchased through one of the state’s programs since 2017.
“Anyone can save a life by administering naloxone to a person who is experiencing an opioid overdose,” said Acting Health Secretary Dr. Debra Bogen. “I encourage Pennsylvanians to obtain naloxone from a pharmacy, community give away event, or other sources – and learn how to give it. You never know when you could save the life of a stranger neighbor, friend, or family member.”
Naloxone is a medication approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to rapidly reverse an opioid overdose by quickly restoring breathing to a person if their breathing has slowed or stopped.
While naloxone can be administered by individuals with or without medical training to help reduce opioid overdose deaths, individuals are strongly encouraged to take this free training to better prepare themselves to assist someone in need. Completing this training and printing a certificate of completion will protect individuals administering naloxone as Good Samaritans.
Pennsylvania residents as well as community organizations can obtain naloxone through a variety of low- or no-cost options.
“We are continuing to work with our local and state partners in the drug and alcohol field to make naloxone more readily available,” said Acting Secretary of the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs Dr. Latika Davis-Jones. “We must keep fellow Pennsylvanians alive and decrease the chances of individuals suffering a fatal overdose.”
Naloxone for First Responders
The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency’s (PCCD) Naloxone for First Responders Program (NFRP) distributes free naloxone to organizations and individuals who may encounter someone experiencing an overdose.
Through the NFRP since 2017, Centralized Coordinating Entities (CCEs) distributed 214,514 kits (429,028 doses) to organizations and individuals who may encounter someone experiencing an overdose and an additional 265,308 kits of naloxone directly to organizations serving high-need communities through its statewide portal.
More than 22,815 overdose reversals have been reported using state-purchased NARCAN, a particular brand name of naloxone.
Standing Order
Pennsylvania residents can purchase or use their insurance to obtain naloxone at local pharmacies without a prescription from their physician by presenting a copy of the Department of Health’s standing order.
The Pennsylvania Department of Aging’s PACE prescription assistance program is using its network of 2,800 retail and health system pharmacies to help with distribution. Anyone, regardless of insurance status, can receive $75 in financial assistance to purchase any naloxone medication authorized through the Department of Health’s standing order.
“In order to help get naloxone to people who need it for themselves or a loved one, we need to do everything we can to make naloxone medications more easily accessible at trusted, familiar locations within communities, such as local pharmacies,” said Acting Secretary of Aging Jason Kavulich, noting that as one example, seniors who are struggling to protect an adult child or grandchild from an overdose can now obtain naloxone from a nearby pharmacy they know and use for their own prescriptions.
Free by Mail
Pennsylvania partners with Prevention Point Pittsburgh and NEXT Distro to support a statewide mail-based naloxone program for Pennsylvania residents to request and receive naloxone for free by mail.
