Lt. Gov. Austin Davis visited northeastern Pennsylvania today to highlight the wins for local communities in the 2025-26 state budget, which provides more resources for public safety, food security and services for older Pennsylvanians. "Throughout the budget process, Governor Shapiro and I stood up for our principles and stayed at the negotiating table - and at the end of the day, this budget earned broad, bipartisan support," said Davis. "It makes key investments to make Pennsylvania communities safer and care for some of our most vulnerable residents. The Shapiro-Davis Administration is continuing to deliver real results for the good people of Pennsylvania." Davis' first stop was in Monroe County, where he heard from county officials, as well as representatives from SAFE Monroe and the Community Partnership for Gun Safety. In March 2024, the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, which Davis leads, awarded a Violence Intervention and Prevention (VIP) grant to Monroe County, which is using the funds to implement their strategic plan to prevent gun violence and promote gun safety, including safer storage.
