Onorato, Allegheny County's elected executive, touted his plan for attracting new jobs and took another swipe at Republican foe Tom Corbett for "insulting the hardworking men and women of Pennsylvania" by suggesting last week that some would rather col lect unemployment checks than return to work. "The problem with jobs in Pennsylvania is not with the workers," he said. "It's that the jobs are gone. We've got to bring jobs back."
