Casey in the Governor's reception room at the state Capitol immediately following the organization meeting of the Pennvest Board, Mar. 30, 1988. — Sen. Musto and Governor Legislators urge voters’ support for PennVest As the Pennsylvania Infrastruc- ture Investment Authority (Penn- vest) Board met for the first time, Sen. Raphael J. Musto (D-Luzerne) joined - with Governor Robert P. Casey in urging Pennsylvania’s citizens to vote ‘“‘yes’ in the April 26 primary election for a $300 million bond issue to support the state’s new multi-billion dollar pro- gram intended to rebuild the state’s decaying water and sewer systems. “A vote in favor of the bond issue referendum question is a vote in favor of clean, pure drinking water now and in the future. It’s as simple as that,” said Musto, who has been appointed as the lone Senate Democratic representative on the 13-member Pennvest Board. The ‘‘super’’ agency Pennvest Board, headed by the governor, will be responsible for approving the final terms and conditions for all low-interest loans and grants to municipal and private water and sewer systems for .rehabilitation, repair, expansion and improvement projects. Musto, who is the Democratic chairman of the Senate Environ- mental Resources and Energy Committee, said he was honored to have been appointed as one of only two state senators on the Pennvest Board. “Improving and maintaining the quality of Pennsylvania’s water supply is, perhaps, the most impor- tant issue we face in Pennsylvania today. I'm elated by the fact that I will be a part of the ongoing process to guarantee our citizens the availability of clean water and adequate sewage systems. “This effort recognizes ‘the importance of protecting our envi- ronment for today’s citizens and future generations to come,” said Musto. At the first meeting of the Penn- vest Board, members adopted orga- nizational resolutions, guidelines and interim bylaws and agreed to support the governor’s call for the creation of a bipartisan citizen’s committee to guide efforts to edu- cate the public on the need for" approval of the April 26 Pennvest bond issue ballot question. The Pennvest Board was created by the General Assembly’s enact- ment of a measure expected to generate over $2.5 billion over the next 25 years for low-interest loans and grants for water and sewage system improvements throughout the state.
