(Hopewell Township, PA) The Republican Committee of Beaver County hosted a primary debate Tuesday evening at the Fez in Hopewell. The first candidates to take the stage were Jeff Bartos and Carla Sands, running for senate. When asked what steps would be taken to expand school choice in Pennsylvania, Bartos said that we shouldn’t have a federal department of education adding that on day one if elected, he would push for some federal tax dollars to be used as a tax credit to give parents and students the decision of choosing a school of their choice. Sands believes the money should follow the child, and parents decide where their child will thrive best. When asked to summarize her energy policy, Sands replied “I’m in love with your cracker plant”. She added energy is key to Pennsylvania’s future and she will harvest our energy to supply the rest of the country. Bartos rebutted that he agreed with Sands and would add that we also need to work to save our states family farms and agriculture through royalties of energy.
Candidates for Governor included Jake Corman, Charlie Gerow, and Dr. Nche Zama. The candidates were asked about the impact the cracker plant tax credit legislation will have on Beaver County. Corman said the tax code can punish or enhace, adding that Tom Wolf chose to punish and said we need to create more jobs and rebuild small towns. Gerow said that Pennsylvania can support more facilities, and we need to build before Ohio and West Virginia do. Zama added that since he is a chemist, he recognizes the energy giant that PA is, and he will be a nightmare to those that pushback.
Candidates for the 17th Congressional District that participated were Jeremy Shaffer, Jason Killmeyer and Kathleen Coder. When asked about legal immigration, Killmeyer said he would significantly limit legal immigration until around 2030, adding that immigrants should not be used to fill open jobs. Coder stated that the amount of guns and fentanyl crossing the border makes it apparent that we need to get more laws in place. Shaffer said the current administration is failing us, and we need to empower border guards, shoot down drones, and fix the broken immigration system. In closing, Coder, a Beaver County native of Conway, said that if elected she will bring much needed representation of Beaver County to Washington.
Guest speakers and attendees at the event included County Commissioner Dan Camp, Sheriff Tony Guy, Treasurer Sandie Egley, District Attorney David Lozier and House of Representatives primary candidate Rico Elmore.
(Detroit, MI) Tonight’s game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers that was supposed to start at 7:10 EST has been postponed due to inclement weather. It will be made up tomorrow as part of a traditional double header starting a 1:10 PM with an airtime of 12:45 PM on Beaver County Radio. Both games will be nine innings long.
The push to connect Pennsylvanians to one another has taken a grand step forward.
The Southwest Pennsylvania Commission–in conjunction with Carnegie Mellon University, Allies for Children, and other organizations–has created a Connectivity Roadmap to showcase the current state and future goals when it comes to broadband connectivity across ten counties in southwestern Pennsylvania (including Beaver). Andy Waple, the SPC’s Deputy Executive Director for Programs, and consultant Jeremy Jurick spoke with Matt Drzik on the May 3 edition of A.M. Beaver County to discuss this new intiative.
