District is getting decent employ-
ment to our district. If elected, he
will submit legislation for new Fed-
eral Subsidies, Grants and Loans to
those districts that rank economi-
cally below the National Average
Income.
Social Security problems will be
one of Flood’s highest priorities due
to the large number of our popula-
tion that is dependent on these funds
every month.
Flood also feels the recent Penn-
sylvania Gas & Water affair with
giardiassis proves that certain cor-
porations are “above the law’ and
that legislative steps should be
taken to oversee their operations
and rectify their problems immedi-
ately.
