“We have strongly urged both of these entities to do the right thing. They need to get back to the table and start showing everyone that the people of Western Pennsylvania whom they serve are a priority for them. We intend to pursue every option available to us as elected officials to make sure that happens. While stepping into the affairs of private enterprise is usually frowned upon, we are very concerned when it potentially affects the health and well-being of our constituents,” said Costa.
