Iโm very disappointed in the state game commission vote by 6-3 to approve the land swap without local input.
Last week, I was informed that the PA Game Commissionโs Board will meet tomorrow to consider a proposed land swap at State Game Lands #234 in Limerick Township.
Since then, Iโve met with local officials, spoken with my constituents, and engaged with community stakeholders.
Itโs clear to me that this proposal does not reflect the needs or desires of the surrounding community. For that reason, Iโve contacted PGC Board of Commissioners, urging them to vote against the proposal in tomorrowโs meeting.
Iโm hopeful that PGC will consider the overwhelming opposition voiced by residents and act in the best interest of this community.

Pennsylvania is leading the way in AI-driven biotech innovation!
I recently chaired a joint hearing of the Senate Communications & Technology Committee and the Institutional Sustainability & Innovation Committee with Senator Frank Farry at Merck in North Wales.
We explored how #artificialintelligence (AI) is transforming Pennsylvaniaโs biotechnology sector, home to nearly 3,000 life sciences companies and a $61 billion economic impact.
The discussion focused on:
๐น How AI accelerates research and development
๐น The need for policies that foster innovation while protecting safety, privacy, and the public interest.
Industry leaders, researchers, and biotech experts shared valuable insights from across the Commonwealth and beyond.
