What is Tom Corbetts number one priority as governor?
Job creation will be Tom Corbett’s number one priority as governor. Creating and maintaining an environment in which good, family-sustaining jobs can grow is critical to restarting Pennsylvania’s economy. Pennsylvanians have been hit by the recession and our state’s record unemployment numbers show the full impact of this downturn on our families. For far too long, Pennsylvania has consistently ranked at the bottom of every job creation indicator and near the top of every tax burden list. The policies of Harrisburg have driven jobs to other states, and unless we change our business philosophy, Pennsylvania will continue to have one of the worst tax burdens for job creators in the nation. Pennsylvania needs a leader like Tom Corbett who has a vision for revitalizing our economy and making Pennsylvania a global leader – putting job creation first – through meaningful tax, regulatory and legal reform.
