It was a busy day for Congressman Mike Kelly as he traveled to three Erie county schools.

Kelly visited Central Tech, Collegiate Academy and Lincoln elementary to get a better look at the conditions of some Pennsylvania's schools.

Kelly has introduced Bill H.R. 5361, a bill that would amend tax code to provide for tax-exempt financing of qualified government-owned buildings.
 

Under the bill, places such as schools, court houses, universities and other public buildings could receive funding to finance construction and infrastructure projects in ways that would create jobs and save taxpayer money.

Kelly said it would be a positive step for all.


"Well what it does is it encourages the private sector to get involved with the public sector in order to make investments that will prove well for everybody. Its a win-win situation. Now by win win I mean a win for private sector and win for the public sector, but more than anything its a win for our kids," said Kelly

 The new bill would create $5 billion in private activity bonds through access from the U.S Treasury Department.
