Earlier today, I had the honor of being in Pittsburgh with President Trump to hear him speak about how tax reform is putting America back to work. We were at H&K Equipment, a company that is investing in itself at a rate of 50 percent higher than last year thanks to tax reform. H&K credits the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act for providing them with the ability to expense 100 percent of the investments they make in new construction and demolition equipment. That is tax reform right at work in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Of course, this is in addition to State College's AccuWeather giving year-end bonuses; Malvern's Meridian Bancorp increasing its minimum wage to $15 per hour, with an additional 20 percent added to the 2017 bonuses; Allentown's American Bank giving employees $1,000 bonuses; and Pittsburgh's PNC Financial Services giving $1,000 bonuses to 47,500 of its nationwide employees, while increasing base wages, retirement program contributions, and its charitable giving. These are just a few stories. Tax reform is working, fair and simple. ____________________
