AARP Pennsylvania State Director Bill Johnston-Walsh provided the following statement today in response to the finalized budget for fiscal year 2025-2026.
There is a mix of perennials and shrubs that should not be pruned before winter. Keep in mind that any pruning on a plant encourages growth. Pruning stimulates a growth hormone called an auxin. If you prune the top of a rose cane, it will stimulate growth below the pruned section. Pruning in late fall or winter is risky. The environmental temperatures will not support growth.
AARP Illinois strongly believes you should be informed on the issues addressed by the Illinois state legislature that directly impact your family and loved ones.
AARP strongly supports and urges co-sponsorship and enactment of the bipartisan Alleviating Barriers for Caregivers Act (ABC Act, S. 3109), introduced by Senators Ed Markey (D-MA) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), to help reduce red tape for family caregivers. Senator Chris Coons, (D-DE) is in full support of the ABC Act as a Co-Sponsor. AARP looks forward to working with him to enact it.
