A group of House Republican lawmakers has been tasked with coming up with a strategy to kickstart the state’s economic recovery as it climbs out from under the damage done from the COVID-19 shutdown.
At a Tuesday Capitol news conference, House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, R-Centre County, said the members of the Economic Recovery Task Force and other House Republicans have been listening to what their constituents have to say about the challenges they face and hearing their suggestions over the past few months. Now, the group is charged with taking that input and using it to examine how the state got in the shape it’s in and craft legislative policies and ideas to get the economy moving again.
