I understand your concern about so many drug clinics being placed in one area. Recently, I introduced a resolution that directs the Department of Health to conduct a geographical study which determines drug treatment accessibility and where there is a need for treatment facilities throughout the different counties of the commonwealth. Also, this resolution orders that a moratorium be placed on the issuance of new licenses for drug and alcohol treatment facilities until the study is completed.

You had a lot of good points about working to preserve farmland in Pennsylvania. It sounds like you are interested in setting up an Agricultural Security Area in Blair Township. I would encourage you to continue to work with the Conservation District in order to preserve farmland in the township. I would like to applaud your efforts for trying to preserve farmland in Blair Township and representing the interests of the citizens of Blair Township. Keep up the good work!
