LANCASTER – Lt. Gov. Austin Davis visited the Bench Mark Program in Lancaster to highlight how the newly signed, bipartisan state budget will help make Pennsylvania communities safer through more investments in violence intervention and prevention programs like the ones offered by Bench Mark for local youth. Lt. Gov. Davis said, “Addressing the epidemic of gun violence requires a comprehensive approach, including supporting law enforcement, addressing the root causes and funding community-based solutions like the Bench Mark Program. We also must support victims and survivors, to help them heal from their trauma and repair our communities. The bipartisan state budget does all of that and more.”
