When you cast a ballot in an election, you see many names. Maybe you recognize some names, while others are people you don't know much about. In order to choose the right person, it's important to know what each part of government does. Your state and local governments make decisions all the time that have a direct impact on your life and your planning for the later years of life. Whether it's estate planning, long-term care planning, access to transportation, or being able to afford prescription medications, there is a government rulebook for each of these issues. Who makes the rulebook and how can you have a voice in the process beyond voting? Highly experienced government attorney Megan Martin has worked in all three branches of government. Megan also happens to be a candidate for the Commonwealth Court, a specialized court that decides all cases involving the government. In this episode she gives insights into the process of lawmaking and how executive agencies provide services for older Pennsylvanians. KeystoneElderLaw.comMeganMartinforPA.com
