I believe that transparency in state spending is crucial to ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent as wisely and efficiently as possible. This page is designed to help make basic spending information easily accessible to the general public.
PennWATCH: Online Budget Database
Act 18 of 2011, requires the creation of a complete online state budget database known as PennWATCH. This database, designed to make details of state spending easily and freely accessible, became available on December 20, 2012.
District Offices
I have two district offices: one in Dillsburg, York County, and one in Camp Hill, Cumberland County. The monthly rent for each of these offices is $875 (Dillsburg) and $2,650 (Camp Hill).
Mileage Reimbursement
To save taxpayer money, I choose only to receive reimbursement for mileage incurred outside of the 31st Senatorial District, although I am eligible to receive reimbursement while traveling inside the district. The current mileage reimbursement rate is established by the Internal Revenue Service.
