A Great Day in Kane!

Last week, I had the opportunity to read to preschoolers at the Kids Learning Center and discuss the importance of early childhood education. I took a look at the proposed location for a children’s museum and toured the new Six and Kane building. Thank you to Mayor Brandy Schimp for taking me around town. It’s great to see continued growth and development in this community!

I’m pictured here with Kane Mayor Brandy Schimp; Kate Kennedy, executive director of the Kane Area Development Center; and Jill Grosch, Kane district office manager.
  
Advocating for PA’s Energy Industry


Advancing our Commonwealth’s energy industry is key to a thriving economy. Unfortunately, that growth is being threatened by misguided policies advanced by House Democrats who are now in the majority in the state House.

Earlier this week, on a party line vote, the House Environmental Resources and Energy (ERE) Committee approved a bill that will significantly drive up costs for our conventional oil and gas producers by increasing the cost of well bonding. The bill is based on the false narrative that today’s drillers are abandoning thousands of wells every year and the increased bonding is needed to plug those wells.

The reality is the vast majority of wells that are in need of plugging are orphan wells that date back decades or even a century ago and there is no identifiable responsible party. That’s why we passed a law last year to increase funding for plugging those wells, but the Department of Environmental Protection continues to drag its feet on implementing the grant program.

The bill now goes to the full House for consideration. As Republican chairman of the ERE Committee and advocate for our local conventional oil and gas producers, I will continue pushing back on these damaging policies.
  
Fighting for a Fiscally Responsible Budget

With the June 30 budget deadline just around the corner, House Democrats started the process of advancing Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro’s $45.8 billion proposal that increases spending by $2.5 billion, or 6%, over the current year.

Especially given the rising inflation and economic uncertainty we are all facing, it is irresponsible to support a budget that eviscerates an anticipated $7.9 billion budget surplus over the next three years and the $5 billion Rainy Day Fund over the next five years.

This budget does nothing to prepare the Commonwealth for the turbulent economic climate many economists are predicting.

Given the demographic challenges we face in balancing the Commonwealth’s budget with significant growth in the elderly population and contraction in the working-age population, this is not the time to expand government and introduce new spending initiatives.

As part of our Keystone Commitment to the Commonwealth, we are working toward policies that will promote a thriving economy and affordable living for all Pennsylvanians. This budget would move us in the WRONG direction. Learn more about the Keystone Commitment here.

Think About It

Memorials

by

Pastor B.J. Knefley

Memorials, do you have any? Perhaps without thinking you have created some without even knowing it. They often dot our life in different ways. Perhaps it’s the mount that’s hanging on the wall of our family room, or your first gun. Maybe it’s the wall in the hall that’s adorned with family pictures. We might not recognize it but we often have many memorials throughout our home and life. They’re important to us because they remind us of important events.

In my own life I have plaques and pictures that remind me of achievements. I have objects that I carry that remind me of the source of my hope. One of those things is a small rock about the size of a quarter. I carry it to remind me that it only took a small stone to kill Goliath. If you’re not familiar with that name it comes from the story of David and Goliath, a huge giant of a man. He taunted the Israelites with his size and his words. David a shepherd, took his slingshot and a few stones and accepted that challenge. The result was that David, with just one small stone, killed the mighty Goliath. My stone reminds me that it only takes a small stone to kill the giants in my life.

My Bible is another source of memorials. Over the years I have noted and underlined passages. Often these are accompanied by dates. Each remind me of a time in my life where a passage spoke to my spirit with encouragement or direction. Each time I come across one of these passages I smile in remembrance. It’s not that these reminders are of good times. Sometimes they remind me of very difficult times in my life and I am reminded of where I was and where I am now. These become remembrances of hope and perseverance.  

Sometimes the greatest encouragement that we can have is thorough the memorials that we’ve established in our lives. They become anchors that can help in our forward moment and direction. Without these we might just become adrift. Think about it.
