APC Commends House Democratic Leaders’ Transportation Funding Plan
APC commended three leaders of the House Democratic caucus yesterday for introducing a series of transportation funding measures.
Caucus Whip Mike Hanna (Clinton-Centre), Caucus Chairman Dan Frankel (Allegheny) and Policy Chairman Mike Sturla (Lancaster) said the legislation was similar to the package of bills offered last fall by Republican Senator and Appropriations Chairman Jake Corman (Centre). The measures are patterned after the recommendations by Gov. Tom Corbett’s Transportation Funding Advisory Commission.
“As Representative Hanna noted, we now have a bipartisan, bicameral initiative that reflects the recommendations of Governor Corbett’s own commission,” said APC Executive Vice President Robert Latham. “We have believed all along that this initiative would require and attract support from both parties and both houses, and now we clearly have it.”
