HARRISBURG – The newest edition of a local TV program hosted by Senator David G. Argall (R-Berks/Schuylkill) focuses on a recent workshop discussion conducted by the Senate Majority Policy Committee on the challenges facing Pennsylvania’s veteran and service organizations as a result of COVID-19 and the Governor’s shutdown.
“It should come as no surprise that many of our local nonprofits including our veterans’ clubs and service organizations have taken a huge financial blow from both the pandemic and the Governor’s shutdown orders,” said Senator Argall, who chairs the committee. “The Governor’s one-size-fits-all approach has battered employers and employees across the Commonwealth – even in areas where the spread of COVID-19 has been dramatically lower than major urban areas like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The most tragic thing facing our non-profits is that these executive orders have put a huge roadblock between them and their goal to help reinvest in their communities.”
The workshop discussion took place at the American Legion Post #233 in Shippensburg and was held at the request of Senator Doug Mastriano (R-Adams/Cumberland/Franklin/York). The discussion featured a variety of local organizations including the Shippensburg American Legion, the Pennsylvania VFW, The Catholic War Veterans Post 1342, the Pennsylvania American Legion, Moose International, the Federation of Clubs of Franklin-Fulton County, the Adams County Federation of Clubs, and the Veterans of Vietnam War Post 41.
