Republican Governor Corbett did not beat Rob McCord, the Democrat candidate for gov Tom Wolf, beat McCord in the primary election back in May.
But this is election year politics from a Democrat who wants to first hurt the Republican governor, then justify tax increases when the Democrat is elected governor.
There are budget problems in this state like two government employee pension systems that are unsustainable with a “Republican” controlled legislature unwilling to reform them.
With a Republican controlled legislature unwilling to reform anything including our antiquated system of liquor distribution through unionized employees in “state stores” and Republican Governor Corbett’s signature on a 28 cent a gallon gas hike plus fee hikes it looks like the Dem will get elected governor in November......
Both Parties talk a good game, but in the end they do very little that impacts average citizens positively. Only elites get their ear and only elites benefit. Corruption rules.
But, he didn’t raise gas taxes on us, only on the wholesalers. ;-)
Thank you for the point of clarification. Yes, you are correct. I meant it in total as in Demonrats vs Republicans and wrote it individually....
If I recall correctly, our Gov’s job before he became AG was as in house legal counsel for Waste Management Inc. !!!
