PA Senate Tweaks, Passes Bill Attracting Cracker-Type Investment

Pennsylvania House Bill (HB) 1100, aimed at attracting new petrochemical investment to the state, was voted on and passed by the full PA Senate yesterday--with some key changes. Gov. Tom Wolf (liberal Democrat) says he will veto the bill anyway--denying the state billions of private economic stimulus it could receive (see Gov Wolf to Veto Bill Attracting Cracker-Type Investment to NEPA). The bill was passed by a large bipartisan majority in both the House and Senate. House Speaker Mike Turzai issued an announcement calling on Wolf to sign the bill, for the benefit of all Pennsylvanians. Don't hold your breath.
