Regan to Appear on CBS21’s Face the State This Sunday

This Sunday at 8:30am, tune into CBS21 for Face the State. I’ll be joining host Joel Smith to discuss Senate Bill 907, my legislation that would require every school district in Pennsylvania to have at least one armed school security personnel.

Regan Attends St. Theresa Boys’ Basketball Send-Off Pep Rally

On Thursday I had the repeat honor of helping to pump up students and staff at a pep rally as Saint Theresa School in New Cumberland sent their boys’ basketball team, the 3-time defending Harrisburg Diocese Champions, off to the PA CYO State Championship tournament being held in Erie.

Lead by head coach Jason Grace, the team has an amazing record, 23-1 overall, going into the tournament.

Good luck, Saints!

PennDOT Shares Roadwork Info with Motorists

As the weather improves, there will be more roadwork. To inform motorists about construction projects that are underway, beginning this year or being bid, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation offers an informational portal.

It has a mapping application for highway and bridge projects that allows users to obtain information about roadwork projects.

For travel information, visit www.511pa.com or call 5-1-1. 511PA is Pennsylvania’s official travel information service, which provides travelers with reliable, current traffic and weather information, as well as links to other transportation services.

Protect Your Family from Dangerous Radon

Radon is an odorless, invisible, radioactive gas that can enter your home from the ground through cracks in the foundation. It increases cancer risks and is the second leading cause of lung cancer.

Pennsylvania has one of the most serious radon problems in the country. Approximately 40% of Pennsylvania homes have radon levels above the Environmental Protection Agency’s action guideline.

Find information how to test your home’s radon level and find certified radon mitigation contractors here.

Help is Available for Problem Gambling

Problem Gambling Awareness Month, observed in March, promotes prevention, treatment and recovery services.

Sadly, hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians experience gambling-related problems, including family, financial, legal and emotional issues. Gambling problems can be mild or very serious, and can worsen with time.

Individuals seeking treatment for compulsive or problem gambling can call Pennsylvania’s helpline at 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537) to connect with local help. People can also text 1-800-522-4700 or live chat.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

This Sunday is St. Patrick’s Day, a holiday I enjoy celebrating with my Irish friends and family.

Be sure to check out the many local events being held across the 31st Senatorial District, including the first St. Patrick’s Day Block Party in New Cumberland and the York St. Patrick’s Day Parade in York City.

Click the links for more Cumberland and York festivities. And have a fun and happy St. Patrick’s Day!
