Issue Position: EXPAND LOCAL EMPLOYMENT

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action

Charlie also believes we need to EXPAND LOCAL EMPLOYMENT. As a member of the Washington County Board, Charlie worked to bring Prairie State Energy Campus to the Region. This company has brought over 4,000 construction jobs and 500 permanent mine and power plant jobs. Also they are currently negotiating to build a 2.5 billion dollar coal gasification plant. This plant will also have many construction jobs and over 350 permanent employees. This is what we need in Springfield, someone who knows that we need to keep our current businesses in Southern Illinois and to bring new opportunities.
