    | "City residents do not benefit in any way," a local activist, John
    | DeBartola, responded to the Fox8TV.com station after the draft plan
    | was revealed. "When will those in power help the city residents who
    | are struggling?"
    |
    | State Rep Frank Burns (D-72) spoke up for the locals -- and even
    | mentioned wages in a statement:
    |
    || I believe the best way to grow Cambria County's population and
    || skilled workforce is through job creation, job training and fair
    || wages -- not by relocating refugees from Afghanistan as is being
    || explored by Johnstown's Vision Together 2025. It's time to pump the
    || brakes on this plan and give the public a chance to voice their
    || concerns -- this is America after all.
    |
    | He told the Tribune-Democrat that locals are "adamantly opposed ...
    | [and] angry."
    |
    | The district's representative in the House, Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-
    | Pa.), dodged the issue of jobs and wages in his interview with the
    | Fox outlet:
    |
    || "The Biden administration has washed their hands of this and so
    || it falls on the state or perhaps on the local level," Thompson said.
    || "That's a heck of a responsibility to be dumped on the state or
    || local government."
