Mark’s 5/11/2010 Letter to the Editor (Before the Daily Item decided to make changes to it.)

As the May 18th Primary Election approaches, we will be deciding who will be representing us for the next two, four, and six years. There is a group of people who make the election process run as smoothly as possible; they are the members of our townships and boroughs Election Boards. These men and women give of their time to assure that all candidates have a fair and equitable process, regardless of party. They arrive early and leave late on Election Day, these members serve out of a sense of duty to their community, their friends and neighbors. Though we see them in action for a short time, sifting through registration cards and feeding the ballots into the machines, they have worked many hours prior to the election. They have attended training meetings, prepared machines and materials, and will count the election votes and certify the results. On Tuesday, May 18th, let’s give them a heartfelt thank you for a job well done.

Tom Corbett Supports Our Veterans!

TOM CORBETT SUPPORTS OUR VETERANS

Tom Corbett proudly served in the Pennsylvania National Guard for 13 years and is personally aware of the importance in sacrifice of our men and women serving in the military.  He believes that Pennsylvania must improve our support in the active military community, veterans and their families that call Pennsylvania home.

Securing Jobs Training for our Returning Veterans

Tom Corbett believes Pennsylvania must give special attention to our veterans. Thousands of Pennsylvanians have seen their lives and careers interrupted while serving abroad in the War Against Terror. While Reservists and National Guard are guaranteed to be able to return to their employers in similar positions, some returned to find their employers out-of-business or their skills out-of-date.         Tom Corbett believes that these individuals and their families deserve better. None of them expect a handout, but they should be able to expect a hand-up with skills enhancement training and job search skills development that will allow them to re-integrate into Pennsylvania’s fast-paced economy.

Ensure Access to Training and Services

Under federal law veterans may receive preferential assistance for job placement services, as well as other programs. Tom Corbett will direct the Department of Labor and the Department of Veterans and Military Affairs to collaborate on outreach programs with employers, community and veteran’s organizations, unions and local counseling and social service agencies to ensure that veterans are aware of and receive the job training services for which they are eligible. These efforts will include helping to place veterans in federally-funded employment and training programs, develop job interviewing and résumé writing skills, and helps veterans conduct a productive job search and access job listings through the enhanced Pennsylvania CareerLink.
