ReplyDeletePennsylvania wrongly elected a democrat idiot for governor. As a democrat, He is trying to raise taxes. That's what democrats do. That's why democrats should never ever be elected to anything.
ReplyDeletePennsylvania never saw a tax they didn't like. We lived there 6 years, couldn't believe the state govts greed. State controlled alcohol sales, outrageous tolls on the worst roads imaginable, personal property tax, costly state auto inspections and the list goes on. Screw them.
