MARINO RECEIVES ENDORSEMENTS FROM TWO MAJOR NATIONAL BUSINESS GROUPS

Washington D.C. – Two major national business organizations threw their support behind Tom Marino’s campaign for U.S. Congress this week.  The Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) enthusiastically announced their endorsement of the Marino campaign.  Both organizations cited Marino’s support of pro-business polices which will help the private sector create and retain family sustaining jobs.

In a letter dated September 27, 2010 Thomas J. Donohue, President of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America informed Mr. Marino of the endorsement of his organization.

“At no time in our nation’s history has it become more critical that Members of Congress provide leadership that protects and advances the interests of the business community” said Donohue.  He went on to say that Marino’s election will help produce sustained economic growth and help create more jobs.”

NFIB National Vice President Lisa Goeas called Marino’s election to the U.S. Congress “Not only critical to small-businesses owners in the 10^th Congressional District, but also to protecting free enterprise across America”.  Goeas went on to thank Marino for his service and wish him well in the upcoming election.

“I am honored and humbled to be receiving the endorsement of these two pro-economic growth organizations.  As your next U.S. Congressman, I will work hard to help the private sector create jobs, reduce government spending, eliminate unnecessary regulations, cut taxes, create a national energy policy, and repeal the Obama/Pelosi/Carney Healthcare Bill” said Marino.

Tom Marino on The Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway Project

Tom Marino on

The Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway Project

The Central Susquehanna Valley Thru-Way Project is and will be a priority of mine when elected as Congressman for the 10^th Congressional District.  I fully support the project because of added public safety and the economic growth will enhance the region. It is my belief the project must be funded through the Transportation and Department of Commerce budgets, not by earmarks and special favors behind closed doors.  As Congressman I believe the Central Susquehanna Valley Thru-Way project must be completed not because of election year politics but because it is the right thing to do.

TOM CORBETT TALKS ABOUT HIS SMALL BUSINESS PLAN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday, July 23, 2010 CONTACT: Kirsten Page, Press Secretary (717) 238-4009 TOM CORBETT TALKS ABOUT HIS SMALL BUSINESS PLAN AT ERIE TRANSPORTATION SUPPLY COMPANY Says Pennsylvania needs to be on the side of small business owners Erie – Republican Gubernatorial candidate Tom Corbett spoke today about the importance of small businesses to Pennsylvania’s economy as he toured TESCO (Transportation Equipment Supply Company) in Erie. “It is time for small businesses like TESCO to have someone on their side in Harrisburg,” said Corbett, “For far too long, state government has been an adversary to job growth.” Tom Corbett’s plan to grow small business in Pennsylvania focuses on helping business owners and cutting through the red tape that often stands in the way of growth. Some highlights of the plan include simplifying the tax code, instituting regulatory flexibility for small businesses and repealing the Inheritance Tax. “Small business owners are dealt too many roadblocks when trying to grow their business,” said Corbett, “They are heavily burdened by the costs of government regulation and excessive paperwork. That is why I want to change that as Pennsylvania’s next governor.” With over 236,000 small businesses in Pennsylvania, they are an integral part of the state’s economy and critical to its success. Tom Corbett has been personally visiting companies like TESCO to learn firsthand the concerns of business owners. He has discussed with business leaders and employees the importance of keeping jobs in Pennsylvania and making sure we see growth in our jobs market. “I believe it is time to restore the commonwealth’s rightful position in the global marketplace by partnering with business leaders to build job creation policies that will secure Pennsylvania’s future,” said Corbett. “We need to encourage job creators like TESCO to grow and invest in Pennsylvania,” said Corbett. “It is critical to put money back in the hands of small business owners so they can hire more workers and expand their business.” TESCO designs, develops, manufactures and distributes specialty maintenance and repair tools for diesel locomotive engines. It is family owned and was started 32 years ago in the owner’s basement.  The company’s product line has since grown to over 2,000 individual tools for various applications, as well as many custom-designed products for specific operations worldwide. TESCO’s home is a state-of-the-art 30,000 square-foot fabrication and manufacturing facility in Erie, Pennsylvania.
