(Harrisburg, PA) According to a release from Senator Elder Vogel Jr.’s office, Vogel was sworn in for his fifth term on Tuesday. As he continues his role in the State Senate of Pennsylvania, Vogel focused on three priorities. Vogel wanted to make sure Pennsylvania’s Over Order Premium is more efficient to make progress in the field of agriculture. Vogel also identified that he will help find more jobs that sustain families in Pennsylvania. Vogel also helped provide tax exemptions for those who were given payments from either state or federal government or Norfolk Southern after the East Palestine train derailment. Therefore, using taxpayer dollars from policies was another important concern of Vogel as he goes into his fifth State Senate term.
