State Rep. John Galloway, D-Bucks, and western Pennsylvania Republican legislator Eli Evankovich, R-Armstrong/Westmoreland, have formed a Manufacturing Caucus for state representatives.
Supporting manufacturing is the key to creating and maintaining family-supporting jobs in Pennsylvania,” Galloway said. “Manufacturing provides over half-a-million jobs and supports three times as many throughout the Commonwealth, and brings in hundreds of millions in tax revenue each year. It is in our best interest to help the industries grow.”
