I was delighted to join @repfritz in welcoming a special group of active and engaged citizens from Susquehanna County who dedicate their time and talent to helping elect qualified candidates for public office. Today they had the opportunity to get an up-close look at state government and check out how their involvement is shaping the direction of our Commonwealth.

In response to calls for greater convenience, PA residents can now purchase canned cocktails at restaurants, hotels, convenience stores and supermarkets. Under the new law, sellers must obtain a state permit and follow limits on alcohol volume and quantities.

Montrose Borough commorated its 200th birthday recounting the stories and traditions of the past and celebrating the character that makes this community so vibrant. #bicentennial
It is ten years since a heinous assassination took the life of @pastatepolice Cpl. Bryon Dickson II and severely wounded fellow trooper Alex Douglass. We honor their service and pray for the continuing recovery of their families and friends. Out of such tragedies it is incumbent on us to learn lessons and implement remedies: how to better protect all of those who wear the uniform in the cause of community safety; how important it is for us to give constant support to those in these dangerous jobs; how to better detect and prevent instances of deadly unprovoked violence. Each year, there is a special ceremony to honor those who have fallen in the line of duty. Every day, we should be grateful to the individuals with the character and the courage to put their lives on the line for us. We should do what we can to respect their calling and their sense of duty. Bless the police, firefighters, emergency responders, and others who see to our safety and quality of life.
Even after 23 years, the sorrow and pain over the losses America experienced due to the deadly terrorist attacks of 9-11 bring intense emotion to the forefront. Our moments of reflection today matter a great deal to the families and friends of the thousands who died that day and in the times that followed. We promised the victims that we would never forget their sacrifice. We promised we would never forget the courage of passengers aboard Flight 93 who took action so that more Americans would not perish. We promised to never forget how emergency responders put themselves in deadly peril in devoted efforts to save the lives of others. We committed to pursuing terrorists to the end of the earth. The monuments at the World Trade Center site, Shanksville, and the Pentagon forever enshrine the costs that come with preserving freedom and democracy. It is well that we remember and learn from that awful day. Each year, as part of our national observance, we should seek to summon the sense of common purpose that so resolutely compelled rescue and recovery efforts in the days, weeks, and months following. #neverforget
Happy Heavenly Birthday to my mother, Martha Calhoun Jones, who would have turned 101 today. I recently found this photo of her posing in the gown she wore to the inauguration of President Eisenhower. #missyoueveryday
