If I had just done Dayton and (Butler and Warren) counties, we would be profitable by now.

The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission has a number of Braddock markers in Allegheny and Fayette counties, but none in Westmoreland. We applied for a PAHMC marker but were turned down. So we put up our own marker on Main Street in Mt. Pleasant, which we dedicated.

We want to see a strong public role in administering and managing the system. If the counties would wash their hands of it and say, 'We're turning it over,' we would have some large concerns.

I think I'd take a human butler over a robot one.

And sometimes people don't realize that 90 percent of the persistent poverty counties are located in rural America.

we don't see the involvement we'd like from the counties (but) we need all the sectors.
