PENNSYLVANIA — New reporting from The American Independent highlights a major vulnerability for Connecticut hedge fund executive David McCormick: his history of outsourcing Pennsylvania jobs:

Days after being confirmed by the Senate to be then-President George W. Bush’s undersecretary of commerce for export administration, McCormick told the newspaper that his work sending jobs overseas would be an asset to him.
