Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Mr. John Coleman from Port Matilda, Pennsylvania, on his Pennsylvania State Senate confirmation as Commissioner of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. Coleman recently resigned as the president and CEO of the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County after 11 years of dedicated service. Under John's leadership, the chamber experienced significant organizational growth, becoming the largest business membership organization in central Pennsylvania. He oversaw such projects as the construction of the 217-acre Benner Commerce Park, adding to his reputation. Through his work in State College, Mr. Coleman has proven himself to be an effective leader, and as he prepares to pick up and move to Harrisburg, I am certain he'll be a valuable addition to the commission. In Harrisburg, he will join the five-member commission, which provides oversight to more than 8,600 utility and transportation companies and provides work for approximately 500 employees. His experience as president of the chamber, as well as his overall expertise, will certainly prove useful during his service in Harrisburg. I wish Mr. Coleman the best of luck in his upcoming endeavor. ____________________”
