I feel the public should be informed continuously of what's going on in Harrisburg, what issues are going on in the House and the Senate, and I feel that people should know what issues are coming before the Legislature. With the pay raise, I feel that everyone's eyes will be on Harrisburg, on the House of Representatives, to make the right decisions at the proper time.

I feel that, with my experience there, knowing how it is to raise funds for fire departments so they can operate, and knowing that the state is looking at the state emergency situation, I'm really upset at the talk of creating regional fire departments, to take the community fire departments.
