PENNSYLVANIA (WTAJ) — Following The Great American State Fair, one representative wants to bring attention to who is getting stuff done.
A memo circulated by Rep. Josh Bashline (R-Armstrong/Clarion) praised the bipartisan leadership of Senators Dave McCormick (R) and John Fetterman (D), and criticized the leadership of Gov. Josh Shapiro.
“This resolution recognizes those individuals and organizations who refuse to let politics get in the way of promoting Pennsylvania’s farmers, manufacturers, workers, entrepreneurs, and communities, ” said Bashline.
Pennsylvania initially announced it was skipping the fair due to it’s high impact on taxpayers.

“Sometimes the best way to represent Pennsylvania isn’t with a press conference or with a TikTok video,” added Bashline, “it’s about showing up and one-upping our neighbors from other states. My constituents back home call this getting stuff done, and I hope yours do too.”
