From agricultural research to the development of a new agricultural financing program, Bob Butera has a 15-point program for progress in rural affairs in Pennsylvania. He is the only Republican candidate for Governor who thinks enough about rural Pennsylvania to propose a complete rural affairs program for his Administration as Governor. Bob has a program which calls for better maintenance of secondary roads, review of the effectiveness of the Clean and Green law, land use planning, support for the Milk Marketing Board . . . but, most importantly, Bob’s entire concept of state government is to “get government off our backs and out of our lives.” Bob is counting on rural Pennsylvania to help win the election and then counting on us to help him return pride and common sense to Pennsylvania government.
