Herman said he has been working with student government organizations and the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency to gain financial aid for students who need money for their fifth year of study. Herman also advocates higher government appropriations for education. Increasing state appropriations to Penn State will also aid students by helping to keep tuition down, Herman said. Herman also plans to continue his work in the state General Assembly for the approval of legislature for major building and classroom renovations. Herman said he favors restrictions on abortions.
Environmental issues are also a major concern to Herman.
Herman said he also supports greater recycling of used motor oil, which would prevent oil from being discarded into the ground where it can seep into the underground water supplies. Herman also supports a mandatory deposit on bottles that would encourage recycling.
