DICKSON CITY, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Thursday in Dickson City, Representatives Dan Meuser and Rob Bresnahan stopped by Kriger Pipeline to talk about the importance of small businesses in northeastern Pennsylvania.
Small Business Administrator Kelly Loeffler visited Kriger Pipeline in Dickson City to discuss how deregulation and programs from her office are helping businesses across the country.
"When Kelly Loeffler goes to work, it's about reducing burdens on you, right? Reducing the taxes, it's advocating for you, but it's reducing many of the burdens that have been built up over time,” Meuser said.
U.S. Congressman Dan Meuser (PA-09) has introduced new legislation aimed at lowering prescription drug prices for Americans by tying U.S. medication costs to the prices paid in other developed countries.
The legislation, titled the Most Favored Patient Act, seeks to build on a policy framework established under former President Donald Trump that encourages pharmaceutical companies to offer the same low prices in the United States that they provide to other nations.
In a statement to PennLive on Wednesday, Meuser accused Democrats of creating a “political spectacle” and failing to release the files under the Biden administration.
“Why? The only reason would be to prolong this spectacle and engage in a weak attempt to weaponize it for political gain against President Trump,” said Meuser. “It is despicable to engage in political opportunism on such a serious issue, particularly one involving sex trafficking.”
The Orwigsburg Fire Department is receiving $2.25 million in federal funding that will greatly help it build the new firehouse it is planning, officials said.
The money was included in the federal agriculture appropriations legislation recently signed into law and announced last Friday.
This investment will help allow Friendship Hose Co. No. 1 to construct a modern fire station on the site of its existing facility at 121 N. Liberty Street in the borough.
Meuser says in a statement announcing the funding, “This nearly $5 million in federal funding my office helped to secure for Schuylkill County will help to improve the lives of the great people who live and work here.
“These three community projects will strengthen public safety, expand access to healthcare, and support long-term economic revitalization across the county,” he says.
