Electric Prices to Adjust June 1
The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) reminds consumers that on June 1, most electric companies will adjust electric generation prices charged to non-shopping customers. Find out what your “Price to Compare” will be here. In most areas of Pennsylvania, consumers can choose a different electric generation supplier for more competitive pricing by visiting PAPowerSwitch.com.

Ribbon-cutting Ceremony for New Winfield Access Boat Launch
I joined officials from PennDOT, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, and Susquehanna Greenway Partnership under the Central Susquehanna Valley Transportation river bridge for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the New Winfield Access Boat Launch located at 15 Lees Lane in Union County. The ceremony was timely, considering May 20-26 is National Safe Boating Week. AGAPE Love From Above to Our Community Serves Local Residents
I visited AGAPE Love From Above to Our Community in Bloomsburg this week and toured its warehouse facility.

Monday marks the solemn occasion of Memorial Day, when we honor the men and women who gave their lives serving our nation with dignity, bravery and distinction. Today and every day, remember the valuable contributions and tremendous sacrifices members of our Armed Forces have made on behalf of our country and the freedoms we so deeply cherish. The legacy of the veteran cannot be lost.
