Rep. Camille Bud George, D-Clearfield, joins Gov. Ed Rendell and other legislators at a Capitol news conference to announce agreement on legislation strengthening Pennsylvania's mine safety law, which hasn't been updated in nearly 50 years.

Thomas Weaver, deputy secretary of administration for the Pennsylvania Department of State, congratulates Rep. George after the Clearfield County lawmaker was sworn in as a member of Pennsylvania’s Sustainable Water Infrastructure Task Force. Gov. Edward G. Rendell signed an executive order in early 2008 creating the high-level task force and charged it with determining what is needed to ensure that Pennsylvania can maintain water and wastewater infrastructure in light of federal funding cuts.

Miller (right) and James Swistock, an LHU trustee, during an April 2008 celebration of the construction of a $9 million academic building at the university’s Clearfield Campus. The three-story facility will house two large-tiered classrooms, a multipurpose area, two science classrooms, a computer laboratory, four traditional classrooms and faculty offices and conference areas. Rep. George worked to obtain state funding for the project.
