Senator Regola appointed to Local Government Commission

Currently serves as Chairman of Senate Local Government Committee

 

Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati has appointed Senator Bob Regola to serve on the Pennsylvania Local Government Commission, a bi-partisan, bi-cameral legislative service agency that conducts in depth public policy research and provides recommendations to the General Assembly on issues affecting municipalities.

“I am pleased to hereby appoint you as a member of the Local Government Commission,” Senator Scarnati wrote in a letter to Senator Regola.  “Given your role as Chairman of the (Senate) Local Government Committee, it is most appropriate that you represent the Senate on the Commission.”

The Local Government Commission, created in 1935, is one of the oldest agencies of its kind in the United States.  The Commission is comprised of five Senators and five House Members, appointed by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and Speaker of the House, respectively.

“I am very pleased to join the Local Government Commission,” said Sen. Regola.  “The Commission’s strong grasp of issues affecting municipalities will aid me in my role as Chairman of the Local Government Committee.  Furthermore, I look at this as another opportunity to improve the interrelationship between state and local governments.”
