They voted these guys in.
Wolf is basically a stooge for the Teacher’s Union, nothing more...he thinks he’s a little Obama.. but he basically just wasn’t Corbette... He’ll be gone next cycle, assuming Republican put up a halfway decent candidate.
As to the legislature, PA has had its legislature ruled by R for a long long time, and still raises taxes regularly... and never shrinks its government.
Philadelphia voted this asshats in His own city/county did not. Unfortunately in PA Philadelphia can pretty much over ride the rest of the State vote.
