Congratulations to Patrick Ewing of Troop 408 for earning the rank of Eagle Scout. Patrick made improvements to the Black Oak Cemetery by replacing a post and repainting existing structures. He also placed letters on the cemetery wall to help indicate the rows and updated an alphabetical listing of the cemetery. Annual March for Life Held at Capitol
This week I was at the Pennsylvania Capitol to take part in the fourth annual March for Life. This annual event brings pro-life groups from across the commonwealth to Harrisburg. Despite the rainy weather there were approximately 5000 in attendance for the rally and march. So Much to See at the Bloomsburg Fair!
I had an amazing day at the 169th Bloomsburg Fair. I enjoyed exploring all the incredible vendors, meeting some talented livestock exhibitors and supporting local agriculture.
There’s so much to see and do. It lasts until Saturday, so you still have time to enjoy this year’s Bloomsburg Fair. Learn more about the fair by visiting its website.
Child Care Tax Credit Supports Families, Communities
The Pennsylvania Legislature understands that supporting families helps create strong communities. We established the Child Care Tax Credit and also increased it to provide relief to as many moms and dads as possible. Because of the tax credit, more businesses can contribute toward their employees’ child care benefits, providing financial relief to parents, beginning Jan. 1, 2025. Employer contributions may not count as the employee’s income. The tax credit allows employers to claim a tax credit equal to 30% of what they contribute toward an employee’s child care benefits, up to $500. If an employer chooses to make contributions to its employees, the employer must make equal contributions to all employees who have eligible child care costs. Exciting Careers Await in PA Agriculture
There are more than 500,000 jobs in PA agriculture – covering the fields of business, technology, science and more – and 75,000 more need to be filled in the next decade to keep our farms operating and our nation fed. As the industry diversifies and innovates with new technology and its aging workforce retires, new opportunities are continually available. Find available careers in agriculture. State Seminars Explain New Tax Laws
Tax professionals can learn about state tax code reforms and other changes at the Department of Revenue in person or at virtual seminars. The one-day seminars offer information about the Personal Income Tax, sales tax, corporate taxes and compliance initiatives. They also explain how to use the department’s website to establish tax accounts for new businesses, file tax returns and pay state taxes. Seminars are offered through December.

Having an emergency plan that everyone in your family is familiar with can keep your loved ones safe during a power outage, severe storm or other unexpected event. A clear plan helps people stay calm and focused during a stressful experience. It should include information about where to go, who to contact and what to have on hand. It’s important to have enough food, water and other supplies to last at least three days. Other items for a basic emergency kit include flashlights, extra batteries, first aid supplies, hand sanitizer and a whistle to signal for help. Learn more. September is National Prostate Health Month
Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in men in the United States, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer. It is the second leading cancer cause of death in men behind lung cancer. Screenings can often catch the disease before it spreads, resulting in a five-year survival rate of 97.5%. For someone with an average risk, screening should begin at age 50. Getting screened every two or three years is sufficient for most men. While there is no way to completely prevent prostate cancer, men can reduce their risk by choosing a low-fat diet filled with fruits and vegetables, maintaining a healthy weight and exercising most days of the week.
