(HARRISBURG) - Senate Majority Leader Joe Pittman (R-41) today highlighted the important permitting reform work championed by Senate Republicans:
"Our Senate Republican Caucus has long recognized the need to implement meaningful permitting reforms in order to expand job opportunities and grow our economy. Executive Orders come and go, which is why we insisted our permitting reform efforts be enshrined in law, as happened back in July.
"Pennsylvanians sent a clear message on November 5, that improving the state of our economy must be of critical focus. We know that creating a robust economy is key to combatting inflation and helping to increase access to family sustaining jobs.
"While it is unclear how Governor Shapiro's most recent Executive Order is different from previous legislation spearheaded by Senate Republicans, we welcome the governor and his Democratic colleagues to the table to work together on further initiatives."
