Info
Midterm elections often shake up politics and inspire a shift in policy-making, especially in state government. On November 6th, Pennsylvania, along with 38 other states and territories, held gubernatorial elections, including 18 with open seats.
REMI cordially invites you to a luncheon presentation titled “Decision 2018 – Policy and the Economy” in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Thursday, November 15th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Pennsylvania is grappling with a range of issues – such as education and fiscal policy – and the outcome of last week’s gubernatorial election could help shape the state’s future direction.
For this presentation, REMI economic associates William Kozlowski and Elliot Jerry will discuss the issues that surrounded the midterm election and the economic policy implications. They will explore the role of dynamic economic modeling in evaluating alternative solutions and providing objective answers in contentious times.
We’re offering this event free of charge; however, we do ask that you register in advance. If you would like to attend this event, please email Brian Boyd at brian.boyd@wp.remi.com, contact us by phone at (413)549-1169, or fill out the registration page for this event.
