Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Wagner Thursday chose a Mountain Top trucking and topsoil business to announce his plan to “empower Pennsylvania’s economy” — a jobs policy he said will cut taxes, reduce regulations, and harness economic potential.
Wagner, 63, released his detailed, substantive plan to improve the economy and create jobs in Pennsylvania at Dotzel Trucking and Top Soil in Slocum Township — a family-run business since 1978.
Wagner said his plan will eliminate burdensome regulations that hold businesses back from growing and expanding, lower taxes on employers so they can hire more workers, bring accountability and certainty to the permitting process and capitalize on the natural resources Pennsylvania has at her disposal.

Norb Dotzel, owner of Dotzel Trucking and Topsoil, said Wagner knows what it’s like to run a small business and he knows what is needed.

“He has built multiple businesses from the ground up and offers Pennsylvania vision and leadership. For decades, Harrisburg has taken an adversarial position toward Pennsylvania’s business community,” Dotzel added.
“Scott and (Lieutenant Governor candidate) Jeff Bartos are promising to turn Pennsylvania’s government into a business-friendly, customer-oriented enterprise,” he continued. “Their proposals will support workers and business owners by growing our skilled labor force and empowering job creators.
