Bill Expands Good Samaritan Laws

The Pennsyvlania House, June 2,  passed, 196-0,  House Bill 2049, that would apply Good Samaritan civil immunity to school bus drivers who administer epinephrine autoinjectors, also known as epi-pens, to students.

Although  law now allows school bus drivers to administer epi-pens , there is a general reluctance to do so as school bus drivers  assume the legal ramifications if things go awry, said State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).

This legislation would grant civil immunity for those operating in good faith, adhering to district policy and who are appropriately trained, said Cox..

The bill is now before the Senate.

House GOP Pushes Pa Pension Fix

A contingent of Pennsylvania House Republicans is pushing a Pa pension fix.

The group unveiled a plan, June 4,  to address the unfunded liability within the Public School Employees Retirement System and the State Employees Retirement System, reports State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).

The combined unfunded liability is about $50 billion.

This plan establishes that all new employees who enter the state systems would be enrolled in a combination of 401(k)-type and traditional pension plan. By combining the benefits of both systems, this plan is estimated to save between $11 billion and $15 billion over a 30-year projection period.

Cox emphasized that the proposal plan would be  for new employees only  and would not change benefits for existing participants or retirees.

At least somebody is trying to do something. What is most terrifying about this  no-brainer minimalist proposal is that there is a good chance it won’t get passed.

Imagine that you had won the following **PRIZE** in a contest: Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400 in your private account for your use. However, this prize has these rules:

Everything that you didn’t spend during each day would be taken away from you.

You may not simply transfer money into some other account.

You may only spend it.

Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400 for that day.

he bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say,”Game Over!”.  It can close the account and you will not receive a new one. *What would you personally do?

You would buy anything and everything you wanted right? Not only for yourself, but for all the people you love and care for. Even for people you don’t know, because you couldn’t possibly spend it all on yourself, right?

You would try to spend every penny, and use it all, because you knew it would be replenished in the morning, right?

Actually, this game is real. Each of us is already a winner of this **PRIZE**. We just can’t seem to see it.

The prize is TIME:

Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life.

And when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us.

What we haven’t used up that day is forever lost.

Yesterday is forever gone.

Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time WITHOUT WARNING…

SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?

Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars. Think about it and remember to enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think.

So take care of yourself, be happy, love deeply and enjoy life!

Here’s wishing you a wonderful and beautiful day. Start “spending”
