A Plan
Not an Agenda
Independent
Leadership for Progress
Dale Hamby offers a different kind of leadership.
As a moderate Independent, Dale is committed to representing all residents of the 100th District—Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and those who simply want honest, practical leadership.
Breaking the Budget
Deadlock
The Problem: The state has failed to pass an on-time budget for five consecutive years due to partisan grandstanding.
The Plan: Restore civil discourse, mandate continuous budget working sessions, and force transparent, collaborative negotiation.
The Contrast: The opponent answers to party extremes; Dale answers to the taxpayers.
Agricultural Renewable Energy Integration
The Problem: Traditional energy policies often pit environmental goals against agricultural preservation.
The Plan: Provide state support for solar and wind projects designed to integrate directly into existing farming operations (e.g., agrivoltaics).
The Benefit: Creates a dual revenue stream for farmers while cleanly powering the energy grid.
Property Tax Relief
via Pipeline Revenue
The Problem: Local homeowners and farmers bear an unsustainable property tax burden while major infrastructure profits leave the community.
The Plan: Expand the local tax base by fairly taxing commercial pipelines cutting through the state.
The Benefit: Direct revenue from pipeline taxation goes straight to reducing individual residential property taxes.
Common-Sense Inheritance
Tax Reform
The Problem: The current system forces families to spend more on accountants and lawyers to calculate the tax than the actual tax liability itself.
The Plan: Streamline the calculation process and raise exemptions specifically for family farms and small businesses.
The Benefit: Protects local legacies, ensuring entrepreneurs and farmers can seamlessly pass the fruits of their labor to the next generation.
Government Accountability
Eliminate Waste & Fraud
The Problem: Politicians use accounting tricks and wasteful spending to mask structural deficits.
The Plan: Enact strict legislative term limits and mandate a comprehensive, transparent audit of state spending priorities.
The Benefit: Eliminates the smoke-and-mirrors budget games, forcing the state to live within its means just like everyday families.
“Pennsylvania lawmakers must reconsider their priorities. How is it that state can provide $4.25 million to build a new service and hospitality center for a Swiss coffee-machine company, yet commit only $242K to a program that reviews the deaths of Pennsylvania children and helps prevent future tragedies? Economic development matters, but protecting our children must come first.”
