We Are The Second Oldest State In

I Think Our Forests Should Be Preserved As Much As Humanly Possible For Recreation And Just For Enjoyment Of The Natural Beauty Of Pennsylvania.

The I-95 Bridges Were Built In The Early 1960s And Are Now More Than 50 Years Old. The Same Vintage As The I-35 Bridge That Collapsed In Minnesota Back In 2007, Killing 13 People And Injuring 145. The Antiquated Skagit River Bridge In Washington State That Collapsed Last May After A Truck Hit One Of The Trusses Was Even Older. And It's Not Just Bridges. According To The American Society Of Civil Engineers, 32 Percent Of The Major Roads In America Are Now In Poor Condition And In Need Of Major Repairs.

I'm Interested In Giving Business An Opportunity By Improving The Tax Environment To Invest And Grow With Pennsylvania, To Expand And Put More Money In Capital Investment And Creating Jobs.

And The Beautiful Open Spaces, The Forests Of Pennsylvania, The Recreational Uses That Come From Having These Green Open Spaces And Forests, They Contribute Dramatically To The Level Of Our Tourism, Dramatically.

I Think If We're Going To Have To Landfill Trash, And I Think We Basically Have To, We Might As Well Get The Upside For It And Dedicate That Upside To Improving The Environment In So Many Different Ways.
