Dear Members and Industry Advocates, 


The Motorcoach PAC is our industry’s best way to ensure we are represented with elected officials and PBA counts on active, steady contributors to be successful in the political world.


We will continue to advance the industry’s agenda and push for positive change, but your individual financial commitment to Motorcoach PAC is needed today. Please see an update from our Lobbyist below.

The House of Representatives and Senate are on break until the week of February 5, when they are both back in Harrisburg for the Governor’s budget address. While the Senate will hold session that week, the House isn’t back in session until March 18. 

 

The House and Senate Appropriations Committees will hold budget hearings beginning on February 20 and wrap up on March 7.
