On Wednesday, October
7th, I joined a bipartisan
majority of my House
colleagues in defeating Gov.
Tom Wolfs attempt to raise
taxes by $3.8 billion over
two years. In pursuing what
would have been the largest
tax increase in Pennsylvania
history,
the
governor
proposed increasing the
Personal Income Tax (PIT)
from 3.07 percent to 3.57
percent and imposing an
estimated 14 per cent total
severance tax when factoring in the existing impact

Ciao Amici,
Every year the U.S. President signs an executive
order
designating
the
month of October as
National Italian American
Heritage Month. Coinciding with the festivities
surrounding
Columbus
Day, the proclamation is in
recognition of the many
achievements,
contributions, and success of Americans of Italian descent as
well as Italians in America.
I would like to pass along
this poem by Angelo Bianchi which captures many
things you may not know
about Italian Americans.
I am an Italian-American.
My roots are deep in an
ancient soil, drenched by
the Mediterranean sun, and
watered by pure streams
from snow capped mountains.
I am enriched by thousands of years of culture.
My hands are those of the
mason, the artist, the man of
the soil.
My thoughts have been
recounted in the annals of
Rome, the poetry of Virgil,
the creations of Dante, and
the philosophy of Benedetto
Croce.
I am an Italian-American,
and from my ancient world,
language
arts
lessons,
biology exploration and art
projects. She is beloved by
students and parents alike.

One of the first decisions
newly engaged couples may
need to make regarding their
wedding is where to have it.
For some, the answer is clear:
anyplace but their home. For
others, the wrestling begins.
Should they have their wedding at home or someplace
else? If you are among them,
here are some factors to
consider.
Budget: Depending upon
the number of guests invited,
having your wedding at
home may be less or more
costly. The longer your guest
list, the more items you may
have to rent from tables and
chairs to a catering kitchen
and tents to lights and porta-potties. You may also need
a cleanup crew for before and
after the event as well as a
landscaping crew if you are
having
your
wedding
outdoors. You may have to
hire a valet parking service
and purchase a generator to
provide the extra power
needed for the event. All of
this can really add up.
Space: The more wedding
guests you invite, the larger
space you will need for your

outdoor
power equipment to work
better for less cost and effort
later in the year, you need to
properly maintain and store it
now. Here are 13 tips that can
help.
Storage Suggestions:
1. Set up a safe work zone.
Identify a safe location with
plenty of work space thats
out of the way of children
and pets. Work only in a
well-ventilated area away
from heat sources, sparks or
flames.
2. Collect your outdoor
power equipment. This
might include a lawn mower,
generator, string trimmer,
chain saw, edger, power
washer, blower, chipper,
splitter or any other tool that
uses a small engine to do
outdoor work.
3. Make sure the equipment
is turned off. Before servicing or repairing any outdoor
power equipment, disconnect the spark plug and
battery cables.
4. Protect yourself. Wear
safety glasses and gloves to
protect against harmful
chemicals and debris.
5. Inspect the equipment.
Make sure safety guards are
not disabled or missing.
