The P-G ran a summary of the primary battles heating up over Tom Stevenson's seat in Harrisburg. On the right side of this blog, we have links to the websites for Stevenson, Sargent, and Smith. We'll add Harris, too, if he has a site.
I'm not here to endorse candidates, but one note in the story did strike me as odd. The idea that Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania can rebuild its economy with manufacturing jobs is just wrong. It's out of touch with the local economy, out of touch with the national economy, and most important, out of touch with the international economy. Some small-scale manufacturing survives in Pittsburgh, even thrives here, and that's good. But the region is never again going to support, or be supported by, a broad manufacturing base.
