PA State Sen. Joe Pittman

Shapiro Bullying, Blackout Risk Rises). We argued that Shapiro himself is to blame for higher electricity prices in the Keystone State. The Majority Leader of the PA Senate, Joe Pittman (Republican from Indiana, PA), addressed the Shapiro/PJM deal yesterday in comments made on the floor of the Senate. His comments outlined how Shapiro's deal will cost PA consumers MORE money, not less.
