Republican candidate for governor Lou Barletta stopped in at Tom & Joe’s restaurant yesterday to plead his case to win the nomination for governor. Barletta told the gathering that all you have to do is look around and see what has happened to Pennsylvania during the Wolf administration. Barletta says his experience as a congressman and the former mayor of Hazleton should give him the edge in the polls. Barletta said as a former businessman he knows how hard it has been to keep paychecks coming for employees.
