Public space is crucial for our communities. Since taking office, I've helped bring in over $3.6 million to revitalize parks, rec centers, school courtyards, and more. This week, I'm happy to announce SPRING, my initiative to bring more state dollars back to the district.

The bills are too high. But a new report shows that with the right policy choices, we could be saving Pa. residents $850/year in their utility bills. I spoke this week with @NRDCÂ and Evergreen Collaborative about how the House Energy Committee is putting working people first.

The affordability & cost of living crisis feels like it's only been getting worse lately. Local & state legislators can't control what goes on in Washington, but we can make bold decisions here at home in Philadelphia & PA. Eager to see legislation like HB2224 passed.
Pennsylvania households cannot handle another rate hike. Today, the House Consumer Protection, Utilities, and Technology Committee voted out the Return on Equity bill with BIPARTISAN support! This bill w/ @RepBurgos is one step in making life more affordable for working families.

BREAKING: The Digital Ads Tax bill has passed the House with bipartisan support! The bill would close a decades-old loophole that lets Big Tech companies avoid taxes on their online ad revenue - a $500 BILLION dollar industry in the US. Cosponsored with @RepAbney & @RepInglis

No more tax breaks and loopholes for billionaires! My proposed tax on digital ads passed the Finance Committee. This bill will make Big Tech companies pay their fair share for putting advertisements on our phones. It would bring in $500 million -yearly! - to our Commonwealth.

The latest recipients of Solar for Schools awards were recently announced - including three in @PHLschools, one of which is my district's own @FurnessHigh! I am so thrilled and encouraged by this news, and excited to see more S4S wins this year! pahouse.com/InTheNews/NewsRe…

Earlier this week, the committee held a public hearing on the Workplace Heat Protection Standards Act (HB 1580), introduced by @RepFiedler. Stakeholders from around the Commonwealth shared their views on the legislation and answered questions from committee members.

Extreme heat is deadly: about 40 workers die yearly from exposure to heat. These deaths are tragic - and preventable. With guidelines for shade, water, and rest, we can protect the people who keep Pa. running. I'm proud to cosponsor Workplace Heat Protections w/ @RepHaddock

Today, the Digital Ads Tax bill passed out of the House Finance Committee! Cosponsored with @RepAbney and @RepInglis, this bill would bring in $500 million in revenue to Pennsylvania yearly - and that number is projected to increase as the industry grows.

I spoke about Digital Ads Tax this week with at the #TaxBillionairesFundPA rally and at SEIU's #TaxBillionaireFundHealthcare event. I'm hopeful about the bill's chances on the House floor in the coming weeks.

Every workplace death is preventable. This week, the House Labor Committee held a hearing on Workplace Heat Protections, my bill with @RepHaddock. We saw an outpouring of support for the bill from labor, environmental, health, farmwork, and occupational safety advocates.

More than 200 @seiuhcpa members and @powerinterfaith visited Harrisburg this week with a clear message: as families and workers struggle, we must fund healthcare. My digital ads tax bill with @RepAbney and @RepInglis, would bring in millions of revenue to fund healthcare in PA.

If you profit in PA, you pay taxes. Yet huge tech companies make billions on digital ads but don't pay a penny to PA.

I'm calling on a simple update to our tax code so Big Tech stops getting a free ride. Closing this loophole would add millions to fund schools, transit, and more. youtu.be/xMuR7k7a-Gw
