HARRISBURG , March 23 – As Gov. Tom Wolf announced today that he will permit the final piece of the 2015-16 state budget to become law Monday, ending a nine-month stalemate, state Rep. Pam Snyder, D-Greene/Fayette/Washington, issued the following statement: “Last week, I was one of 13 House Democrats who voted for this latest budget bill , which pushes to $200 million the additional state subsidy for basic education – and does so without raising taxes. It addition to ensuring our schools don’t close, it also provides funding for human services and 4-H programs that are vital in much of our state. “I am glad the governor has decided not to veto this bill. Now we can close the books on the tumultuous current fiscal year and devote our full energies to completing – on time, hopefully – the 2016-17 state budget due June 30.” Read more
HARRISBURG, March 22 – The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has approved a bill introduced by state Rep. Pam Snyder that would exempt from the state's fee requirements signs for local farmers' markets and farm stands along highways. "Our local agricultural businesses such as farmer's markets and farm stands provide fresh, nutritional food to Pennsylvanians, while at the same time enhancing our local business efforts," Snyder said. Current regulations require a permit and fee in order to have an off-premises sign advertising a business. Snyder's legislation would exempt farmers' markets and farm stands from this requirement for any state routes that do not receive federal funding. PennDOT still may set the size, number and proximity of the signs. Snyder introduced the bill after a family-owned farm in her district was told to remove signs advertising their farm stand from the state route right-of-way. "It is important that PennDOT ensures the orderly and effective display of outdoor advertising, while protecting the state's natural beauty along our roadways. But it is equally valuable that family farming should be supported, especially since agriculture is an important industry in our commonwealth," Snyder said. "The bill that passed today would benefit both the farmer and consumers seeking fresh produce, while continuing PennDOT's oversight." The bill now goes to the state Senate for Read more
HARRISBURG , March 16 – Saying the specter of closed schools and crippled human services must not come to fruition, state Rep. Pam Snyder, D-Greene/Fayette/Washington, voted for a budget bill put forth by the Republican legislative majority today. Snyder said that with only three months left in the current fiscal year, and with budget wrangling between GOP leaders and Gov. Tom Wolf still ongoing after nine months, it’s time to wrap up the tumultuous 2015-16 budget and start focusing on the 2016-17 spending plan due June 30. "We’re able to put this one to bed without raising taxes – and still get an extra $50 million for basic education, pushing that total fiscal-year increase to $200 million," said Snyder of her affirmative vote for H.B. 1801. "I don’t want to see schools close, I want to see human services and 4-H funded, I don’t want to further put our Penn State Extension Services and county commissioners in fiscal predicaments. "Certainly, I would like to see more state funding for basic education. But when it looks like there’s a greater chance of public schools closing their doors than getting more money, we’ve got to acknowledge the reality of the situation and act accordingly. After nine months, this saga must end." Snyder said a constant theme as she’s traversed the 50th Legislative District is resolving the budget impasse and the adverse impact the inability to strike a lasting Read more
The House Transportation Committee today OK’d my legislation that would exempt signs for farm markets and fresh produce from PennDOT permit and fee requirements. I understand the need for restraint for signage, and my House Bill 1561 would still allow PennDOT to set specifications regarding size, number and proximity in the rights-of-way. However, family farming is an important facet of Pennsylvania’s economy, and exempting smaller-scale signs notifying consumers of the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables would not upset the regulatory apple cart, so to speak. I had the legislation drafted after a local family farm notified me that it was directed to remove its signs along a state route. H.B. 1561 would not affect sign regulations along highways receiving federal funding. The legislation is now available for consideration by the full House.
