Dan is committed to reducing the size of the legislature. He was one of three Democrats who voted to support HB 1234 and HB 1716.
Gift Reform is the second issue Dan is co-sponsoring. Currently, legislators can receive gifts worth up to $250 and not report them. HB 1667, introduced by Rep. Saccone (R-Jefferson Hills) prohibits all gifts with some practical exceptions. I wish our school board directors had a policy about gifts. I know that a couple of our directors would ask for discounts at a failing business, now out of business, located at Lebanon Shops.
The third issue in Rep. Miller's update involves Fair Redistricting. Dan is co-sponsoring a bill which creates a Legislative and Congressional Reappointment Bureau that would operate in a non-paritsan manner.
Term limits is discussed in Dan's update, which he is co-sponsoring.
HB 989 is an Act providing for a Citizens Constitutional Convention. The last full scale PA Constitutional Convention took place in 1873. Dan feels that a review is needed to analyze how our State Government is doing and are they well suited for the times. How about measures to limit school district and municipal spending, Dan?
