Gliobastoma Battle Described On Radio Maria
Josh Comeau is a 36-year-old father of five in Indiana who is fighting an aggressive form of brain cancer with prayer and all the weapons of modern medicine. Brittany Maynard, a young woman with the same cancer, attracted international attention when she announced plans to commit suicide under Oregon’s Death with Dignity Act.
She took her life last month but Josh and his wife, Rosary, have chosen Life with Dignity instead. Josh will join Janet Morana on Gospel of Life tonight, Dec. 16 on Radio Maria. Tune in at 6 p.m. ET.
Gliobastoma is a formidable adversary. Few people survive, even with treatment. But on the day Josh was diagnosed, he posted this on his Facebook page: “A new lease on life. Praise God.”
“God has plans for Josh, I really believe that,” said Rosary. “The cancer is just the beginning of that plan.”
Josh has undergone surgery and radiation, and is going through a grueling chemo regimen now.
The couple doesn’t know what lies ahead, but they know they are not alone in their fight.

Pa Legislative Salary Automatically Rises To $85,356
The automatic pay raise Pennsylvania legislators have been getting since 1995 takes their salaries to $85,356 for 2015.
All without a vote.
This does not count health care benefits, retirement packages — oh so sweet retirement packages — nor other perks like per diems.
This is an increase of $1,300 from last year.
The presiding officers will be getting $2,100 raises bringing their salaries to $133,000.
One word describes this: corruption. The people we elect to look out for us are looking out for themselves.

Act 139 Now In Effect In Pa
State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129) reports that Act 139 of 2014 is now in effect.
The law enables first responders, including law enforcement, firefighters and all emergency medical service personnel, to administer naloxone to those experiencing an opioid overdose. It also allows friends or family members with a person at risk of experiencing an opioid-related overdose to receive a prescription for naloxone and administer it.
The law also offers Good Samaritan and other immunity protections from criminal prosecution for drug possession as well as from civil liability for those responding to and reporting an opioid overdose.
