GOP governor hopeful tours downtown Butler
Lou Barletta, a former Pennsylvania congressman, toured downtown Butler on Monday as part of his campaign for governor.
Barletta, a Republican, met with business owners up and down Main Street, from Natili North to Cannella Cafe, to hear opinions on the area and what it’s like owning a small business in Pennsylvania.
The campaign trail for Barletta has followed this routine of touring main streets of communities across the state. He said he would like to lower state business taxes.
“I heard a lot about how difficult it is to get employees and stay in business,” Barletta said. “Pennsylvania is not very business-friendly ... especially with natural gas and energy here, we could fuel the world, which also means good jobs here.”
