Quality of life, safety and health are all considerations when choosing these projects and their importance to our community.” Read more

“Replacing old service lines not only updates aging infrastructure but also protects people from the serious health effects that can come from even small amounts of lead,” state Rep. Dan Deasy said. “Families should never have to question whether the water from their tap is safe.” Read more
“We all know that the act of spiking drinks exists,” state Rep. Dan Deasy said. “I’ve told all of my adult children to never leave their drink unattended. That includes non-alcoholic drinks. But unlike other types of dangers, we don’t seem to acknowledge this outside of a private family conversation.

“Traditional winemaking is an economic driver across our state, not only in the sale of their products but also in their contributions to tourism and hospitality,” said Rep. Dan Deasy, who represents portions of Allegheny County and serves as the Majority Chair of the House Liquor Control Committee. “We came here today to listen and learn, because we want our local businesses to succeed and grow.” Read more
“This is really about making sure veterans know where to turn for resources they’ve earned while serving our country,” state Rep. Dan Deasy said. “Whether they need help accessing benefits, support for their families, or just a connection to local resources, this will point them in the right direction. It might seem like a small change, but it can make a big difference for someone who needs it.” Read more
“Too often, veterans miss out on benefits they’ve earned simply because they don’t know what’s available,” Deasy said. “This bill is a commonsense way to make sure that every eligible veteran sees the support that they’ve earned through serving our country, right where they work. I’m proud to see this bill headed to Governor Shapiro’s desk.” Read more
“It remains a priority for me to ensure our veterans receive the benefits and services they have so honorably earned in service to our country,” state Rep. Dan Deasy said. “A good way to be sure that happens is to provide it to them at their place of employment. It is an easy ask of employers to simply post a pre-made poster or letter-sized document that is provided to them by the state in a conspicuous place so vets can easily access it.” Read more
“These are former teachers who taught our kids, PennDOT workers who answered the call to keep roadways safe, human services workers who helped those in need – they’ve served our communities, and they’ve waited too long for a COLA increase,” state Rep. Dan Deasy said. “They are a small group of individuals who were not included in the new COLA formula, but they are largely in their 80s and 90s. Many can barely afford to pay for food or needed prescriptions and, after all they have done for the commonwealth, it is unconscionable that we would not do right by them and provide this increase so they can pay for necessities like groceries.” Read more
“Following the loss of a loved one, many families face emotional and logistical challenges with arranging food and drink at a memorial, oftentimes on short notice,” said Deasy, who serves as the majority chair of the House Liquor Control Committee. “Current law requires businesses to give seven days’ notice to the Liquor Control Board for off-premises catering permits, a timeline that simply doesn’t work for many of these memorial events.” Read more
“This bill is a no-brainer,” state Rep. Dan Deasy said. “The information we want veterans to see is important to them for all sorts of reasons like access to vet programs on health care, mental health treatment, tax benefits, eligibility for benefits under the state and federal government, just to name a few. They’ve earned the right to have access to all of this and we simply want to make sure they see it.” Read more
