A Berks County lawmaker is taking on a new role in Harrisburg.
Pa. Rep. Tom Caltagirone, has been appointed to serve as the Democratic chairman of the House Urban Affairs Committee for the 2015-16 legislative session.
The committee deals with legislation affecting first-, second- and third-class cities and counties in Pennsylvania. Housing and public safety issues also pertain to the work of the committee.
"I am grateful for this opportunity to narrow my focus onto the dire needs of our cities," Caltagirone said. "At a time when there is great financial and economic stress throughout many of our urban areas, I am hopeful my work will help rectify some of their largest problems."
Caltagirone has been a member of the House of Representatives since 1977. He most recently served his second stint as chairman of its Judiciary Committee.
