U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire, D-4, McCandless Township, has received an award for his "extraordinary leadership" from Americans United for Change. Not a bad accolade after only six months in office.The group said Altmire was worthy of the award for backing funding for children's health-care coverage, boosting the minimum wage and funding for veterans health care, and supporting ethics reform and "overdue assistance" to victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Wow!
