Statement from Sen. Mary Jo White Regarding House Action on HSCA Funding Bill

Harrisburg -- Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee Chair Mary Jo White (R-21) released the following statement regarding today's vote in the House of Representative's on Senate Bill 1100:

"I was greatly heartened to learn today that the House of Representatives acted to move us closer to a resolution in the effort to provide continued funding of the important Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act.
