PCPA’s
lobby day is June 6. If you have not already done so, please register your
organization with PCPA (using
the attached form). Registering today is still acceptable, but participants
will be directed to handouts available on the registration tables rather than
having specific materials prepared for them.
Legislative Speakers
The legislative press conference will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m. –
members should begin to gather in the Main Rotunda at 12:45 p.m. PCPA is pleased
that several legislators are confirmed to speak including Sen. Jake Corman
(R-Centre/Juniata/Mifflin/Perry/Union), Sen. Patricia H. Vance (R-Cumberland),
Rep. Katie True (R-Lancaster), Rep. Kathy Manderino (D-Philadelphia) and Rep.
John T. Yudichak (D-Luzerne).
Sen. Jay Costa, Jr. has been confirmed; however, at the time of this Legislative Alert, it appears the Senate Democrats will begin an off-site retreat at 12:00 p.m. on June 6 (members should also keep this in mind relative to appointments) which would preclude his participation.
