“Allegheny County has the infrastructure and sites that corporations like Mainspring need, but testifiers also explained that Pennsylvania risks being left behind by neighboring states when it comes to creating sufficient state incentives and acting quickly to support high-impact projects with large energy demands,” said state Rep. John Inglis, who co-hosted the event and represents portions of Allegheny County. “Mainspring chose Pittsburgh over Columbus to bring about 1,000 jobs to our region, but lawmakers will need to be proactive to ensure our region remains competitive.” Read more

For more than a century, the steel industry has been a major driver of Pennsylvania’s economy and the foundation of the American middle class. That legacy remains, but in recent decades, foreign competition, unfair trade practices, and outdated infrastructure have led to a steady decline in domestic steel production. The FORGES legislation is designed to reverse that by reinvesting in steel communities, boosting domestic production, and equipping Pennsylvania’s steel manufacturers with the resources needed to compete in the global market.

HARRISBURG, June 30 – Amid negotiations for the 2025-26 state budget, state Reps. Elizabeth Fiedler, D-Phila.; Aerion Abney, D-Allegheny; and John Inglis, D-Allegheny, introduced legislation to tax digital advertisements. The bill, H.B.1678 , could generate millions in revenue for the commonwealth. Big Tech companies like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft make astronomical profits on Pennsylvanians by collecting private data from individuals to sell targeted ads. These ads often take the form of banners on news sites, artificially boosted search engine results, and interruptions to videos – none of which are subject to taxation. The result is an industry projected to be worth $1 trillion in 5 years, with no benefit to Pennsylvania communities. The legislation proposes including digital advertisements in the gross receipts tax, which is set at 5%. The tax is based on where ads are viewed, meaning corporations can’t relocate to avoid paying the tax. “We all agree that Pennsylvania needs more revenue come budget season to fund the public services we care about, like public schools, libraries, and communities,” Fiedler said. “The fact that mega-corporations can use our private data to sell us ads that make our experience on the internet more difficult and frustrating – without contributing anything to our commonwealth – is insulting. It’s time for the billionaires to contribute and pay Read more
