State Rep. Maureen Madden, D-Monroe, helped to obtain a $2.4 million Pennvest low-interest loan to perform extensive work on the Middle Dam in East Stroudsburg. The Middle Dam provides the drinking water to East Stroudsburg residents. The existing water supply piping is over 100 years old. “The major benefit of this project is to improve water service to thousands of people in my district due to failing water lines,” Madden said. “This Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority funding will help to defray the cost of the $8 million dollar project.” Madden said the work will involve replacing the existing raw water supply intake and transmission pipeline from the intake structure of Middle Dam to the East Stroudsburg Water Filtration Plant. “One of my top priorities since taking office is to address the district’s outdated and crumbling infrastructure and this $2.4 million is included on my list of projects that will help to improve people’s lives,” Madden said.

State Rep Maureen Madden, D-Monroe, recently was appointed Democratic chairwoman of the House Tourism and Recreational Development Committee’s Subcommittee on Recreation for the 2019-20 legislative session. Madden said tourism is a $40 billion industry in Pennsylvania and Monroe County contributes to that. “I am thrilled to be named chair of the Recreation Subcommittee,” Madden said. “I represent Monroe County and we are in the heart of the Poconos where people visit from in and out of state to ski our slopes, visit our water parks and casinos, shop at our stores and go to our state parks, so I will continue to build on what we already have in the tourism industry.” House Democratic Leader Frank Dermody, D-Allegheny, said Madden was appointed to the committee because she fully supports and promotes the tourism industry, not only in Monroe County, but across the state. “Maureen Madden has earned this new leadership role and its responsibility,” Dermody said. “She puts people first and makes sure that Monroe County has a strong voice in Harrisburg.” Rep.

State Rep. Maureen Madden, D-Monroe, members of the Service Employees International Union and legislative colleagues rallied in favor of raising the minimum wage, safe workplaces and for union rights. The Keystone Worker Protection Pledge was unveiled. “I believe that all Pennsylvania workers deserve a living wage, a safe work environment and the freedom to form unions,” Madden said. Along with her colleague, state Rep. Tom Mehaffie, Madden has reintroduced her Workplace Freedom Act legislation (H.B. 1178) that would allow public sector workers to form a union with a simple majority card check vote, rather than the lengthy bureaucratic process that workers currently have to go through. Madden first introduced the legislation in 2018 in response to the Janus vs AFSCME Supreme Court decision, an unprecedented attack on the right to organize. “We stand together in an effort to strengthen and expand the rights of Pennsylvanians so they can join a union, be paid a living wage and be employed in safe workplaces,” Madden said.
