The SE is the economic engine of PA. We don’t complain about supporting our rural counties. We take pride in supporting them. In return the GOP Senate leaders want to starve us of the fuel that powers the SE (mass transit).

Our plan has made it to the front page of the Inquirer. Let’s keep tax dollars right here at home and invest in our transit system.

I love smooth roads and abundant, on-time public transportation. Here in the Philly region, we have the resources to make both a reality. My legislation will make that happen!

For the past seven years I have listened to my Honorable Republican colleagues. They made it clear that they don’t like spending money in SEPA. Today, I proposed a solution: tax dollars collected by a region, stay in that region.

Coming in hot.
I have been contacted by numerous individuals who rely on SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority), and I have also received feedback from colleagues across the aisle who do not believe SEPTA is worthy of funding. This is a pragmatic solution. @SEPTAPHILLY

That is why I proposed a long term solution for our SEPTA funding crisis. It is time SEPA uses our own taxpayer base to support our schools, police and SEPTA. And the rural areas can support their own police and schools. @SEPTA @SEPTAPHILLY

Since I was elected, my Republican colleagues spew how they are repulsed by “SEPA’s spending.” I just circulated a memo that would ensure that each region in PA funds its own schools,transit and police using their own resources. See below the proposed (not final) regions ⬇️
