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.

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.

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.

The congressman praised Kirk for his student outreach efforts, noting that he spent “years” traveling to college campuses to speak with young people despite opposition.

And he was going to the college campuses, he was being ridiculed, he was being protested, they didn’t want him there. Now he brings in 3,000 enthusiastic people. He’s taught them to think differently, to think outside of the echo chamber of what occurs … at some good schools.”
