To the editor:
Prices are going up and up, but House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff and the state GOP won't take action to help ordinary Pennsylvanians.
Pennsylvania State House candidate Robert Zeigler supports the Pennsylvania Opportunity Program bill, HB 2531, which would use American Rescue Plan money that Pennsylvania already has to give $2,000 directly to families with incomes of less than $80,000.
Direct stimulus payments are the best way to spur economic growth and recovery and eliminate bureaucratic red tape. Voters regardless of political affiliation support these payments to get tax dollars back into the hands of working families at a time of rising inflation and growing inequality.
Why is Rep. Benninghoff letting the Pennsylvania Opportunity Program bill sit in committee instead of bringing it to the floor for a vote?
Why won't he help the Pennsylvanians he is supposed to represent when we need it most?
If he won't work for us, let's elect someone who will.
