Institute Gives Coal Town New Life
Stump Creek Pennsylvania, once thriving on soft coal, was purchased by the Institute on Science and Man for a five year renewal project. It funded roof and plumbing upgrades, sold most homes to tenants at low cost, and rebuilt a community council and water system. Aiming to recoup its investment, the institute plans similar work in Corbett New York.

Bennett also signed a meat import ban for school boards and allowed another measure to become law without his signature expanding law enforcement training hours from 200 to 400.
