HARRISBURG, May 10 – State Rep. Pamela A. DeLissio, D-Montgomery/Phila., announced a recently awarded 2018-19 Senior Community Center Grant that will benefit The Center at Journey’s Way. The Roxborough-based senior center will receive a grant of $48,600, funded through the Pennsylvania Department of Aging’s $2 million in statewide funding earmarked for senior centers, as announced by Gov. Tom Wolf this week. The source of the $2 million is the Pennsylvania Lottery. “These grants will help refurbish senior centers and create new programs and services, and it’s great news for the folks at Journey’s Way,” DeLissio said. “Our older citizens deserve the best, and that includes top-notch facilities and programs at our senior centers. I thank the efforts of the Department of Aging, the Pennsylvania Lottery and Gov. Wolf in awarding this funding.” The Center at Journey’s Way is part of Intercommunity Action, which provides aging, intellectual and developmental disability, and behavior health services. At Journey’s Way, one can participate in a full range of activities and programs to receive valuable information, find challenging volunteer positions, and access services designed for older adults. “With experiences such as reuniting with an old friend, forming new relationships, learning new things, or taking a trip, Journey’s Way supports seniors to live life to the fullest,” DeLissio said.

HARRISBURG, April 26 – Last week, state Rep. Pam DeLissio (D-Phila./Montgomery) joined constituents and many other citizens from Fair Districts PA in the Capitol Rotunda in their rally for redistricting reform. “Last session, our collective two-year effort resulted in no legislation regarding this matter making it to the governor’s desk,” DeLissio said. “Instead of giving up, Fair Districts PA has regrouped and, armed with a new strategy, is determined to ensure that an independent citizens’ commission draws the lines for the congressional, state Senate and House redistricting that will occur in 2021. “During my remarks at the rally, I spoke about three of my favorite hashtags: #cluckfuster, #WhenYouHaveToCheatToWin and #FairAndSquare. Our current system for redistricting is a #cluckfuster. It is clear that not all of the General Assembly does not seem to understand that #WhenYouHaveToCheatToWin, the citizens are the real losers. All that citizens really want is a system that is #FairAndSquare. “Since my first town hall meeting in 2011 and at every one of my 83 town hall meetings since, I have mentioned the need for redistricting reform. In 2011, constituents wondered why I was talking about a topic that was not needed until 2021. Yet here we are in 2019 still attempting to get this legislation through the General Assembly. “Our current redistricting system continues to not be fair to the citizens it serves. Read more
