Describe your familiarity with Pittsburgh’s LGBT Community including any receptions, events, parades or other functions that you have attended that were sponsored by an LGBT organization. As a member of Pittsburgh City Council, State Senator, and now as Auditor General, I have been open-minded about issues impacting the LGBT community. I was also honored to have been recommended for election by the Stonewall Democrats in 2008. 2. Pennsylvania’s Hate Crimes Law does not currently include sexual orientation or gender identity as protected classes. Would you support an amendment to the law to include LGBT­bias hate crimes? Yes. I will continue to support efforts to strengthen state laws to protect the LGBT community from violence. As a State Senator, I introduced an amendment to the Ethnic Intimidation Act to increase sentences for bias or hate crimes motivated by the victim’s actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity; such an amendment was later enacted into law. I also introduced legislation to require the Attorney General and the State Police to collect and report statistics on crimes motivated by the victim's sexual orientation or gender identity. -1- Response of JACK WAGNER March 12, 2010 3. Please discuss your views regardinG state­level legislation to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity and expression in employment, housing, and public accommodations.

How old were your kids? What car did you drive? Bob Carlisle’s “Butterfly Kisses” was the #12 hit. The Spice Girls had 3 top hits in 1997. Basic Cable TV was $29.52 per month. A postage stamp was 29¢. Republican Tom Ridge was Governor. Three Rivers Stadium existed. 1997 Construction Cost Index: 5825. August, 2012 CCI was 9351, up 60%. The PA Liquid Fuel tax, to maintain our roads, was 12¢ per gallon. It still is. In 2012, the Oil Franchise Tax also remains at 19.2¢ per gallon. In 2012, 17% of Pennsylvania bridges are structurally deficient, and 800 must be replaced, and all average over 50 years old. About 20% of the workers in the Pennsylvania Construction industry are unemployed, with 3,300 less in August. In 1997 the Pennsylvania unemployment rate was about 5.1%. After the inflation adjustment to the tax, the rate declined to about 4.2%. In August, 2012 it was 8.1%. Following a nearly decade-long effort in crafting and advocating legislation designed to explore and create public-private partnerships (P3) in transportation, this summer Gov. Tom Corbett signed House Bill 3 into law, making it Act 88 of 2012. It funded nothing. 1997 Governor Tom Ridge “This act opens a new chapter in the way Pennsylvania can fund projects designed to repair and replace our structurally deficient roads and bridges with the cooperation, financial resources and efficiencies of the private sector.” Retiring Rep.
