I presented two bills to the Senate Finance Committee today, and they voted to pass both bills onto the Senate.
Senate Bill 253 (Mastriano) – Amends the Tax Reform Code by creating an income tax credit for Pennsylvania resident partners who incur pass-through entity taxes in other jurisdictions.
Senate Bill 396 (Mastriano) – Amends the Tax Reform Code by creating a new elective tax imposed at the pass-through entity level that would facilitate federal deductibility of state income taxes.

Lithuania is a partner of Pennsylvania National Guard A solid ally of whom I served with Lithuanian soldiers in Afghanistan. In response to the deaths of four American 3rd Infantry Division soldiers, the citizens mobilized to raise money for the soldier’s family. Last figure was pushing €200,000. They appreciate our presence in their country.

April 1st - One this day, Doug proposed to Rebbie at their college... She accepted, and Doug could not be happier. He thoroughly planned the proposal to make it extra special... until he realized too late that it was April Fool`s Day. Upon realizing this, Doug said, "Let me take the ring back and do the proposal again tomorrow." Rebbie replied, "I have the ring, and you`re not getting it back." Reb`s cousin told her it was a perfect day to propose (as it was her cousin`s birthday).

Rep. Rob Kauffman and I had an outstanding tour today to discuss the restoration and expansion of the Franklin County Historical Society’s headquarters in downtown Chambersburg, known as the “Old Jail.” What a fascinating piece of Pennsylvania history!

SB 9 - Fairness in Women’s Sports Act. "It`s a fight for justice, equality, and common sense. Girls deserve to play on a level playing field. Allowing biological males to compete in girls` sports takes away the chance for them to compete fairly."

March 26 - Education Committee Meeting. We considered SB 9, the Fairness in Women`s Sports Act. I am grateful for the voices of my Republican colleagues here as we "follow the science." It`s crucial to recognize that allowing biological males to compete in girls` sports jeopardizes the fairness and competitive integrity that female athletes deserve. Every girl should have the opportunity to compete on a level playing field, and protecting that right is essential for the future of women`s sports.
