State Rep. Josh Kail | Pennsylvania 15th Legislative District
Today, Representative Thomas Kutz and the House Republican Policy Committee, chaired by Josh Kail, held a hearing in Boiling Springs. The session aimed to discuss policies that promote business growth, job creation, and family support in Pennsylvania.
The hearing, titled "Pathways to Prosperity: Igniting Growth Through Pro-Family Policies," included testimonies from several key figures. Among them were David Samella of Vitro Architectural Glass, Ryan Heishman of Allen Distribution, Aaron Riggleman from the PA Chamber of Business and Industry, and Mark Blanchard from Cumberland Valley School District.
The panelists agreed on several essential factors for achieving prosperity in Pennsylvania. These include fostering public-private partnerships, creating economic opportunities, and maintaining an affordable cost of living. They also noted that excessive bureaucracy poses a significant barrier to these goals. Heishman highlighted that while Pennsylvania's business climate is strong, it is often hindered by complex processes and agencies.
Representative Kutz emphasized the importance of advancing policies that benefit businesses, jobs, and families. "By prioritizing legislation that meets these goals," he stated, "we can make communities across the Commonwealth even better places to live, work and raise a family."
Chairman Kail added his perspective on the matter: "We should not be talking about Pennsylvania competing. We should be talking about Pennsylvania dominating." He stressed the need to reduce government dependency and remove bureaucratic obstacles to foster growth and economic development.
