Robert J. "Bob" Flick is a former Republican member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives[3]
He was first elected to represent the 167th legislative district in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1982, succeeding retiring incumbent John Alden. During his tenure, Flick sponsored several major pieces of legislation, including a December 2001 law overhauling Pennsylvania's 39 job-training programs and a 1995 educational reform law abolishing terminal and travel sabbatical leaves for teachers in public schools and placed requirements on educational sabbaticals to enhance teaching skills.[4] He was a leading advocate for welfare reform, writing a law to eliminate the “transitionally needy” category of general assistance which provided cash grants to able-bodied adults and implementing job-training, parental responsibility, and “workfare” programs.[4] He also served as Pennsylvania Chairman of the American Legislative Exchange Council.[4] He retired prior to the 2006 elections. In 2007, it was revealed that Flick, as a lame duck legislator, attended legislative training trips at the public's expense after his retirement.[5]
