In this Update:
Statement on Attack on Governor ShapiroI wanted to stress my concern on the act of violence perpetrated against Governor Shapiro and his family after a Passover dinner this past weekend. First, I am glad that the governor and his family were unharmed and safe, and grateful to our first responders for their quick action extinguishing the fire and to the Pennsylvania State Police for evacuating the governor and his family, and identifying and taking into custody the man responsible. As more information has been shared about the perpetrator, we learned that the attack may have been targeted because of the governor’s religious beliefs. This type of violence on a public official or any person is unacceptable and has no place in our society. I continue to remain extremely concerned about the rise in hateful violence and rhetoric. We all need to work together to stop it. Our Shredding Event is Saturday April 26

Visit at Genesio Company
I joined Rep. Tomlinson and members of the Sheet Metal Workers’ Union Local 19 for a tour of a local Heating and Air Conditioning manufacturing facility, Genesio Company. Genesio Company, located in Ivyland, works on many large-scale projects, such as schools and hospitals. Their 12,000 square foot manufacturing facility offers a vast range of capacity with many automated pieces of manufacturing equipment allowing them to be able to fabricate those large-scale projects simultaneously. Genesio prides themselves on providing the best possible service to their customers and paying their skilled and trained employees well. Genesio is a Pennsylvania manufacturing company, employing up to 70 Pennsylvania residents annually. As more fabrication on public projects is completed offsite, last session I was proud to introduce legislation along with Sen. Targatlione (D-Philadelphia) to ensure offsite custom fabrication on public projects is covered under existing Pennsylvania law. We will be reintroducing the legislation again in the near future.

Beginning May 7, Pennsylvanians who wish to board flights, visit military bases and enter certain federal facilities will be required to present a form of federally accepted identification. Options include a passport, military ID or a REAL ID. To make it more convenient for Pennsylvanians to get a REAL ID, PennDOT is offering dedicated time at some driver license centers on April 28 and May 5. Both REAL ID Days are on Mondays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. This a reminder, that you can still apply for your REAL ID after May 7th, so if you do not plan to travel on or shortly after this date or need federal access you can apply at your convenience. You do not need to wait until your driver license renews to get a REAL ID. To get one, you must provide documents proving your identity, lawful status, Social Security number and Pennsylvania residency. Review the list of acceptable documents. All documents must be original versions or certified copies (if applicable). Best Wishes for a Happy Easter
