Call, tweet, or email Senator John Yudichak. Senator Yudichak represents a number of seriously underfunded districts- Wilkes Barre, Jim Thorpe, Hanover Area, and Panther Valley, and Hazelton. He previously co-sponsored Senator Boscola’s bill and we are asking him to do it again.
Ask him to co-sponsor SB123 (Boscola’s current bill) which phases in full application of the fair funding formula.
