Senator Argall's TV Report Focuses on "Blight"

HARRISBURG – State Senator David G. Argall (R-29) will discuss the impact that blighted and abandoned properties have on communities across Pennsylvania during his August television report.

As part of a collaborative effort with state and local officials, as well as the Statewide Blight Task Force, Argall has introduced legislation aimed at eliminating blight throughout the state. Additionally, he has held several press conferences on the matter.

"Blighted properties present an imminent danger to many, including children, who see an abandoned building as an exciting opportunity for exploration, not knowing that a serious injury or tragedy could be just a step away. My primary goal for 2009 is to see this legislation pass the full Senate and the House and be signed into law," Argall said.
