(Pittsburgh, PA) Acting U.S. Attorney Troy Revetti announced Tuesday that an Ambridge resident pleaded guilty to violating drug trafficking and firearms laws. Forty-four-year-old Maurice Mosely, Jr. got fifteen years in jail and eight years of supervised release that is federal. According to an investigation, Mosely distributed controlled substances from his Ambridge residence and the Aliquippa residence of his girlfriend. Mosley was also convicted of four previous crimes involving felony drug trafficking. Law enforcement executed search warrants upon both locations on July 21st, 2021. The result was a seizure of ammunition and a stolen, loaded handgun from the residence of Mosley and a bulk of currency from the United States and crack cocaine from a search of Mosley’s person. According to Revetti, federal law prohibits possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felon. The search of the residence of his girlfriend also resulted in distribution quantities of crack, methamphetamine, and cocaine, two digital scales, an owe sheet and about $4,000 in cash being seized. Following these seizures, the subject of a traffic stop in New Brighton, Pennsylvania, in August of 2021 was Mosley. The officer identified signs of impairment and observed Mosely kick a bag underneath the driver’s seat upon approaching the vehicle. The seizure of crack and other currency from the United States in a bulk was the result of a search incident to the arrest of Mosley. Law enforcement also responded to a fight outside of a bar in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania in September of 2021. A surveillance camera within the bar recorded Mosely reach for his waist, run toward a nearby cigarette machine, and throw an item behind the machine, with an audible clunk when the item Mosely threw struck the ground upon the arrival outside from law enforcement. Law enforcement
had all of the bar patrons line up outside of the building, with which Mosely initially complied before he fleed the scene on foot. Subsequently, that bar in Beaver Falls was searched and a loaded handgun that was behind the cigarette machine was seized as a result.

(Harrisburg, PA) As the Senate passes President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill and sends it back to the House, Pennsylvania educators warn in its current form, the bill would slash billions from safety-net programs that affect families across the state. The bill’s detractors say the cuts would help fund trillions of dollars in tax breaks that mostly benefit the wealthy – and add trillions to the nation’s budget deficit. Christopher Lilienthal with the Pennsylvania State Education Association says cuts proposed for health insurance and nutrition programs would affect many Pennsylvania families – including the one in four residents who relies on Medicaid for health care. Lilienthal notes Democratic Senator John Fetterman has voiced strong opposition to the legislation, while G-O-P Senator David McCormick’s position remains pivotal. Pennsylvania’s 17 representatives in the U-S House take another look at the bill this week, under pressure from President Trump to get it to his desk by July 4th.

(Allegheny County, PA) Allegheny County Representative and physician Arvind Venkat proposed recently that private insurers and the program for Medicaid would be required to cover vaccines approved by the FDA. Venkat also noted that the Medicaid program and private insurers would need to cover approved vaccines from some medical societies that are professional. The Democratic representative confirmed this proposal would stop lapses in coverage for insurance for shots, even if CDC key advisors change recommendations for vaccines. Vaccines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Physicians or the American Academy of Family Physicians would get mandated health coverage through the proposal made by Venkat.
