Keystone Manufacturing Initiative - Pro Manufacturing Legislation

We rarely wade into the shark-infested waters of the political side of manufacturing, however a recent post on the blog of the National Association of Manufacturers pointed us to Pennsylvania's "Keystone Manufacturing Initiative."  This initiative contains sixteen pieces of legislation aimed at supporting manufacturing in the Keystone State.  A detailed summary of the various bills is here, and includes the following:

Business Tax Structure ReformAffordable Health CareTort ReformRegulatory ReformUnemployment Compensation ReformWorkers’ Compensation Reform

Take a look at the details here.  This set of bills is unique in that it protects and promotes the interests of both business and workers, which creates a better environment for manufacturing.  Perhaps a model that other states could use.
