Are you new?
The taxes will shoot up and your roads will remain in the exact same condition.
That state of affairs has existed in pa as long as I have been alive.
Fortunately, I escaped Pennsylvanistan.
Penn needs to do what Texas is doing. Build more toll roads.
They sort of tried that when they, in their usual screwed up fashion, tried to put a toll on Interstate 80 from border to border... The “logic” being that having a “free” interstate going east to west was competition for the turnpike that cuts across the southern part of the state.... The plan went so smashingly well that the turnpike users are paying twice as much as they were before the attempt to toll the interstate.
Why worry about Democrats when we have Republicans like this RINO?
Not to mention if you think this state’s government is corrupt, wait unitl ya get a look at the Turnpike Commission.
Pennsylvania is already in the top 10 states with the highest overall tax burden. This will move it up a couple notches, tying or edging out Taxachusetts.
Higher taxes, or higher taxes, which to choose? Well one side claims to be kinder and gentler though right?
I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong with fixing roads? In a state where snow is on the ground five months a year, I suspect there are some real problems. If a tax on fuel is used to pay for roads then what is wrong...it is user pays taxing? Seems pretty conservative or libertarian to me.

I think Corbett let the secret out of the bag when he pointed out that “business” and “labor” support the law.
The additional money taken out of our pockets will fill the business and labor pockets who in turn will line the pockets of the politicians at election time.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the truth were that it is just about fixing roads and bridges.
When politicians do this, it never really is....
SPENDING AND TAXES BY GOVERNMENT AT ALL LEVELS MUST BE HELD STEADY AT THE VERY LEAST AND NOT INCREASED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM.
THIS IS A MOVE TO INCREASE SPENDING AND TAXES PERIOD.
