| Mon Valley Moment: More Opportunities to Serve You
The latest edition of the Mon Valley Moment features a partial list of district events where our TEAM will be in the coming weeks to better serve you! As we did last year, we will be reaching out to District 49 residents by coming to your area as opposed to you making the trip to our office in Bentleyville! Of course, we welcome every opportunity to showcase our many programs and initiatives at our district office. At the same time, we are always striving to make obtaining our wide variety of constituent services more convenient and cost-efficient for you. We will continue to bring you more Town Hall meetings, Concealed Carry Seminars, satellite office hours, FREE Property Tax/Rent Rebate assistance and so many other exciting initiatives as the year goes on. For the latest district events and state government updates, visit RepBudCook.com and Facebook.com/RepBudCook. |

More than a half-million Pennsylvania veterans have opted to have a “veterans” designation added to their driver’s license or photo ID card, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. The designation – an American flag with the word “VETERAN” beneath it – began in 2014. Qualified applicants for a veterans designation must have served in the United States Armed Forces and/or the reserve component, and have been discharged or released from service under conditions other than dishonorable. There is no fee for the veterans designation; however, regular renewal or duplicate fees still apply. Forms for driver’s license or ID renewals and duplicates have a box for applicants to certify that they are a veteran, and to have the designation added. Once the veterans designation has been added to a driver’s license or identification card, it will automatically appear each time it is renewed. For more information, visit www.dmv.pa.gov and click on the American flag/veterans designation icon. The veterans designation does not entitle a veteran to any special consideration or discount but rather identifies the bearer as a veteran. Any other recognition, such as a discount, complementary meal or other token of appreciation is completely and solely determined by the organization, business or entity providing a service. Pennsylvania is home to the fourth-largest veterans’ population in the country. |
