The library was originally built in 1903 as a Carnegie Library and requires extensive repairs and renovations to provide essential services to the community. The funding will help repair and upgrade the building’s exterior, interior rooms, and restroom facilities. The funding will also provide new and expanded workspaces for students and technological infrastructure to support digital learning programs.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw just how important libraries were as students and teachers transitioned to remote learning. I’m proud that I was able to secure this funding so that the library can continue to fulfill its mission to the community. Read more here
New Bill to Improve Seniors’ Health Passes House
This week, the House passed a bill that I advanced in my Energy and Commerce Committee to make health care better for seniors. The Improving Seniors’ Timely Access to Care Act would improve access to treatment and ensure that seniors are receiving the health care that they are entitled to by streamlining and shortening the timeframe for prior authorization in the Medicare Advantage program. The legislation would also increase transparency of Medicare Advantage plans and modernize the prior authorization process. This important bipartisan legislation will help ensure that our seniors are not facing unwanted barriers to accessing timely, medically necessary care.
