IN THE SPOTLIGHT:

Pennsylvania, like much of the United States, faces critical challenges in these tough economic times. We must:
— put people to work, and
— build for a resilient and robust economy, for all Pennsylvanians.

And we must do it while using our taxes and other resources as efficiently as possible.

The actions we take must build lasting value, and the jobs we create must address long-term goals as well as the immediate needs for all Pennsylvanians. All proposals for economic recovery should be evaluated for their ability to increase good jobs, improve government efficiency, preserve what matters to us, conserve our assets, keep our communities whole and healthy, and deliver the most effective and enduring benefits.

The Pennsylvania Works! campaign is built on the common interest of our citizens to improve our economic opportunities and enhance the things we value. Our plans work to build lasting prosperity, through efficient and innovative use of public resources, and create significant and accountable return on taxpayer investments.

In some cases, we need to update our laws and policies. In some cases, we need to change how people in power think and act on issues. And in all cases, we need to open up our government to the voices of the people.

There really is only one way forward for Pennsylvania – in a strong partnership of citizens, state and local governments, private investors, and public interest and community organizations … all of us, working in Pennsylvania.
