REFERRED TO COMMITTEE ON RULES, JULY 17, 2003
A RESOLUTION
1 Urging that appropriate funding to adequately staff her
2 legislative district office be restored to Representative
3 Rosita Youngblood forthwith.
4 WHEREAS, It is recognized that every Pennsylvanian should
5 have access to his or her State representative and the services
6 offered through legislative district offices; and
7 WHEREAS, This right to access necessitates expenditures of
8 moneys to provide office space, staff and equipment in each of
9 the Commonwealth's 203 legislative districts; and
10 WHEREAS, Both caucuses of the House of Representatives
1 receive allocations of moneys to provide district offices and
2 staff to each member; and
3 WHEREAS, Each legislator should be afforded adequate
4 resources to provide and staff a district office, regardless of
5 partisan affiliation; and
6 WHEREAS, Despite these fundamental principles of
7 representative government, Representative Rosita Youngblood has
8 been without moneys to staff her district office for more than
9 365 days, thus depriving her constituents of legislative
10 services at the local level; therefore be it
11 RESOLVED, That appropriate funding to adequately staff her
12 legislative district office be restored to Representative Rosita
13 Youngblood forthwith.
