State Senator John Eichelberger held the meeting at the Bedford County Courthouse in Bedford Wednesday night.

A major concern voiced at the meeting was our local economy. The Senator says our state is among the bottom three states when it comes to job development. He also says more young people leave Pennsylvania than any other state.

People at the meeting asked the Senator to take their concerns to Harrisburg and he vowed to do just that.
