ABOUT PEG PAC The Pennsylvania Business Council’s political endorsements, political contributions and political action are made by the affiliated PEG PAC. PEG PAC concentrates on Pennsylvania legislative races. However, PEG PAC will also engage in political campaigns on behalf of pro-business candidates seeking statewide political office, including the state row offices, state appellate-level judicial offices, and the office of Governor. PEG PAC leads the business community efforts in "open seat" races wherein no incumbent is seeking re-election to the post. PEG PAC often "defends" incumbents who are ending their first term in office or who were elected in a Special Election. This is often the time when an incumbent is most vulnerable. PEG PAC will work with other business associations to help in the political defense of a strong pro-business incumbent who faces serious and significant opposition. PEG PAC will lead the business community and others in an effort to defeat an incumbent who is judged to pose a significant threat to the business climate of Pennsylvania. To be endorsed, candidates must share PBC's Guiding Principles and be committed to PBC's Vision of Government. © Copyright Pennsylvania Business Council 116 Pine Street, Suite 201 Harrisburg, PA 17101 1 GOVERNOR Voter Registration: 51.14% D; 37.75% R; 11.11% O Name (Party) Dan Onorato (D) Tom Corbett (R) PAC & Address Friends of Dan Onorato Tom Corbett for Governor P.O.

  • 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!

Senator Bob Casey, Jr. won with 53.6% over Tom Smith (44.7%). Kathleen Kane triumphed over David Freed 56.1% to 41.6% in the race for Attorney General. A Democrat has never held the office of Attorney General. State Treasurer Rob McCord won re-election 52.5% to 44% over Diana Irey Vaughan. The closest race pitted two incumbent House members against each other but ultimately Democrat Eugene DePasquale from York overpowered Republican John Maher (Allegheny/Washington) 49.7% to 46.5%. In this race, the Libertarian candidate Betsy Elizabeth Summers drew 3.8% of the vote, potentially enough to swing the decision. REPUBLICAN CONSOLATION PRIZE: The PA Congressional Delegation In one of the hottest races nationally, Republican Keith Rothfus took incumbent Mark Critz’ western and southwestern PA congressional seat with 51.5% of the vote.

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%.

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%.

  • Crafting Colombianidad: Race, Citizenship and the Localization of Policy in Philadelphia
    CRAFTING COLOMBIANIDAD: RACE, CITIZENSHIP AND THE LOCALIZATION OF POLICY IN PHILADELPHIA A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Diane R. Garbow July 2016 Examining Committee Members: Judith Goode, Advisory Chair, Department of Anthropology Naomi Schiller, Department of Anthropology Melissa Gilbert, Department of Geography and Urban Studies Ana Y. Ramos-Zayas, External Member, City University of New York © Copyright 2016 by Diane R. Garbow All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT In contrast to the municipalities across the United States that restrict migration and criminalize the presence of immigrants, Philadelphia is actively seeking to attract immigrants as a strategy to reverse the city’s limited economic and political importance caused by decades of deindustrialization and population loss. In 2010, the population of Philadelphia increased for the first time in six decades. This achievement, widely celebrated by the local government and in the press, was only made possible through increased immigration. This dissertation examines how efforts to attract migrants, through the creation of localized policy and institutions that facilitate incorporation, transform assertions of citizenship and the dynamics of race for Colombian migrants. The purpose of this research is to analyze how Colombians’ articulations of citizenship, and the ways they extend beyond juridical and legal rights, are enabled and constrained under new regimes of localized policy. In the dissertation, I examine citizenship as a set of performances and practices that occur in quotidian tasks that seek to establish a sense of belonging. Without a complex understanding of the effects of local migration policy, and how they differ from the effects of federal policy, we fail to grasp how Philadelphia’s promotion of migration has unstable and unequal effects for differentially situated actors.
