Government Affairs Office (GAO) Senior Associate Alisa Borovik, Senior Manager Emilie Bartolucci and I spent an evening at the Pennsylvania Homecare Association headquarters near Harrisburg with house republican Representatives.  During the event, we had the opportunity to thank our current sponsors of our presumptive eligibility legislation and discuss the need to increase the personal assistant services rate for our aides.  The event was well attended by over 10 republican legislators.
