Thousands of people from around Pennsylvania – including Bradford County Sheriff C.J. Walters and Sullivan County Sheriff Bobby Montgomery– participated in the annual Right to Bear and Keep Arms Rally at the State Capitol on April 30.

Rep. Tina Pickett welcomed members of the House Majority Policy Committee to Elk Lake School District and the Susquehanna Career and Technical School on April 5 to study the issue of rural broadband access. The hearing included a lot of testimony regarding how the absence of high-speed internet access is holding back local economies. Members received an update on the long-range plans of providers and discussed emerging technologies that could help solve the problem. Unfortunately, the main provider for our area, Frontier, was unable to participate in our hearing, but the company did send a statement, which she read at the beginning of the hearing.
