HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A day after leaving his post as speaker of Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives, Mike Turzai has become general counsel for the Pittsburgh-based natural gas division of Essential Utilities Inc., the company said Tuesday.
Turzai, a Republican from suburban Pittsburgh, was an ally of Pennsylvania’s natural gas industry while in office, including helping to rebuff efforts to impose a tax on production from the vast Marcellus Shale reservoir.
