The Republican Governors

Association congratulates

Governor-elect Tom Cor-

bett on his election as the next gov-

ernor of Pennsylvania. RGA was

the single largest donor to Tom

Corbett’s campaign, investing more

than $8 million.

“Tom Corbett ran an outstanding

campaign that won the hearts and

minds of Pennsylvania voters,”

said RGA chairman Haley

Barbour. “Pennsylvania was a key

battleground for Democrats, so

Tom Corbett’s victory has both

statewide and national significance.

By electing Tom, voters in Penn-

sylvania showed they’ve had

enough of Democrats’ higher taxes

and reckless spending.”

In addition to helping Corbett

maintain a spending advantage on

television throughout much of Sep-

tember and October, the RGA in-

vested nearly $2 million in the

Pennsylvania Republican Party’s

critically important and highly suc-

cessful get-out-the-vote operations.

RGA Congratulates Governor-Elect Tom Corbett

State GOP Is Jubilant Over Statewide SweepL

ate last night, Republican

State Committee Chairman

Rob Gleason surveyed with

satisfaction his Party’s massive

electoral successes.

“Tonight, we turned Pennsylvania

red!” Gleason said. “What a won-

derful night it is to be a Republican

and a Pennsylvanian. Tonight, the

voters of Pennsylvania cast a deci-

sive vote of confidence in the com-

mon-sense economic solutions of

Pat Toomey, Tom Corbett, Jim

Cawley, our new congressmen and

all of our successful State House

candidates. Make no mistake about

it: While our Party is thrilled with

tonight’s results, we are even more

excited about the opportunity for

these qualified Republican men

and women to get to work creating

jobs and putting our Common-

wealth on the right track.

“We have the best grassroots net-

work in Pennsylvania, and it is the

dedication and energy of our vol-

unteers that have made this night

possible.

“Because of our volunteers, Penn-

sylvania has played a key role in

helping Republicans take back the

U.S. House of Representatives. Be-

cause of volunteers, Republicans

now hold a majority in both the

State House and State Senate.”

Following the announcement

of the results for the US

Senate race in Pennsylva-

nia, US Sen. Bob Casey (D-

Penna.) released the following

statement:

“Any help that I or my office can

provide will be available to Sena-

tor-elect Toomey to ensure that the

needs of Pennsylvanians, espe-

cially those with constituency ad-

vocacy case work, are met during

the transition.

“I look forward to meet ing

with Senator-elect Toomey

soon to fur ther discuss how

we can work together for the

people of Pennsylvania .

“As election results continue to be

tallied in Pennsylvania and around

the country, we move close to the

end of a long campaign season. We

must all come together to fix the

problems facing Pennsylvania and

the country. The top priorities

must be job creation, rebuilding the

economy, helping those hurt by the

recession and targeting terrorists.”

Casey Extends A HandTo Toomey…

Following the terror plot last

week to ship explosive de-

vices from Yemen in pack-

ages, US Sen. Bob Casey

(D-Penna.) sent a letter to Dept. of

Homeland Security Secretary Janet

Napolitano asking for a full assess-

ment of cargo screening and the

progress toward screening all

cargo. Casey, Chairman of the

Near Eastern and South and Cen-

tral Asian Affairs Subcommittee of

the Senate Foreign Relations Com-

mittee, also focused on high-risk

international shipping points.

“I understand the TSA has made

strides over the past decade to in-

crease cargo inspection, but defi-

ciencies remain in coordinating

with foreign governments and pri-

vate industry as well as the pro-

curement of more effective

technology,” wrote Casey.

The Senator also noted the large in-

crease in volume of shipping.

“With a large percentage of that in-

crease attributed to shipments to

and from the Middle East and

Africa where screening systems

may not be as rigorous, we must

ensure that the United States is em-

ploying an effective multi-layered

screening system to detect danger-

ous packages.”

As mandated by the Implementing

Recommendations of the 9/11

Commission Act of 2007, the De-

partment of Homeland Security is

required to screen 100% of cargo

on inbound passenger aircraft

flights by August 2010. Despite

this mandate, as of May 2010, the

Transportation Security Adminis-

tration requires only 75% of air

cargo travelling on passenger

planes be screened. Moreover, ac-

cording to a June 2010 Govern-

ment Accountability Office report,

TSA can only screen approxi-

mately 65% of international ship-

ments because they are not

collecting data from “air carriers or

foreign governments on what per-

centage of cargo is actually being

screened.”

After voters overwhelm-

ingly approved his change

to the Philadelphia Home

Rule Charter by more than a 7-to-3

margin, Councilman W. Wilson

Goode, Jr. has decided to broaden

the impact of his living wage and

benefits standard. Councilman

Goode will introduce the Lease-holder Wage and Benefits Bill tobroaden the definition of employ-

ers subject to New Minimum Wageand Benefits Ordinance.

The New Minimum Wage and Ben-efits Ordinance requires City-sup-

ported employers to pay at least

150% of the Federal minimum

wage to its employees. It also man-

dates if the employer provides

health-care benefits to any of its

employees, the employer shall pro-

vide each full-time employee

health-care benefits at least as

valuable as the basic health-care

benefits that are provided to the

employer’s other full-time employ-

ees. There is an exemption for

small businesses. Employers sub-

ject to the ordinance include:

The City of Philadelphia, including

all its agencies, departments and

offices.

For-profit service contractors,

which receive or are subcontractors

on contract(s) for $10,000 or more

from the City in a 12-month pe-

riod, with annual gross receipts of

more than $1,000,000.

Nonprofit service contractors

which receive or are subcontractors

on contract(s) from the City of

more than $100,000 in a twelve-

month period.

Recipients of City leases, conces-

sions, or franchises, or subcontrac-

tors thereof, which employ more

than 25 employees.

City financial-aid recipients. Com-

pliance shall be required for a pe-

riod of five years following receipt

of aid.

Public agencies, which receive

contract(s) for $10,000 or more

from the City in a twelve-month

period.

The Leaseholder Wage and Bene-fits Bill amends the New MinimumWage and Benefits Ordinance to

establish that a tenant or lease-

holder of a City financial-aid recip-

ient who occupies property or uses

equipment or property that is im-

proved or developed as a result of

the City aid, shall be considered a

“City Financial Aid Recipient” and

shall be covered for the same pe-

riod as the City financial-aid recip-

ient of which they are a tenant or

leaseholder.

Goode said, “The purpose of the

original law was to assure that as

many employees as possible within

the City of Philadelphia earn an

hourly wage that enables them to

live with more dignity and in-

creased economic self-sufficiency.

The City contracts with many busi-

nesses and organizations to provide

services to the public, and provides

financial assistance to developers

for the purpose of promoting eco-

nomic development and job

growth. Such public expenditures

should also be invested in a better

community economic standard.

The use of City funds to provide

better wage jobs will decrease

poverty, increase consumer in-

come, invigorate neighborhood

businesses and reduce the need for

taxpayer funded social service pro-

grams. The local minimum-wage

standard is based on existing local

and State job creation tax-credit

laws and this new amendment will

broaden its impact. “
