  • Resolution 1032 Action
    Resolution to Create ‘election integrity” Committee Threatens Integrity of our State Election On Thursday, October 1st, a resolution to create an ‘election integrity’ committee was passed out of committee to be voted on soon by the full PA House of Representatives. It would not need the Senate’s approval or Governor Wolf’s signature. The plan would create a committee of 3 Republican lawmakers and 2 Democrats, to investigate and review the election. Such a committee is unprecedented, and its powers are broad and vague. Representative Malcolm Kenyatta (D) vehemently opposed the resolution, which was featured on Rachel Maddow’s show on October 1st. You can listen to the full exchange here. Rep. Kenyatta says, “They [the committee] would all be selected by the Republican Speaker which is completely out of the norm…This is the concern: We cannot have people who are up for election, investigate their own election.” An attempt was made to rush the Resolution through for a vote by the full PA House of Representatives but was delayed by a member of the House testing positive case for Covid. The vote has now been rescheduled for Monday, October 19th. This is our time to act! ACTION: With all the concerns about the coming election and claims of fraud, we need to be sure that our PA voters are the ones to determine the “electors” who will cast the PA Electoral College votes. WE MUST ACT NOW! URGE THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES TO VOTE NO ON HR 1032. PLEASE CALL ALL OFFICES AS WELL AS YOUR OWN REPRESENTATIVE!

  • Pensylvania Kicks the Can Down the Road “So Tell Me What You Want, What You Really, Really Want.” 1997
    Volume 96, Number 2 October 2012 www.asce-pgh.org Pensylvania Kicks the Can Down the Road “So tell me what you want, what you really, really want.” 1997. What were you doing in 1997? 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.
