Easton, Pa. – Northampton County District Attorney Stephen G. Baratta is joining fellow prosecutors statewide with a call to action to Governor Josh Shapiro and state lawmakers, urging them work with the Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association (PDAA) on issues that will better protect communities.
In a letter to the governor and the General Assembly sent this week, PDAA wrote, “Our laws need to match the realities we face. Prosecutors need the right tools to promote public safety and prevent violence, protect and support victims of all ages, keep illegal drugs off the streets and away from our kids, and keep Pennsylvania families safe.”
