Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf said Monday that politicians who move to open counties during the pandemic in defiance of a schedule set by his administration are “acting in a most cowardly way” and risk losing federal coronavirus aid.

Wolf said counties that do no comply with the administration’s virus orders could lose some discretionary federal funding, and businesses risk licenses, certificates of occupancy and other financial ripple effects.

Why would’nt one try to helps ones fellow citizens desperately trying to get back to work?

Especially a state governor?

This is bizarre.

That’s right.

We’ll see it, and worse, with the next Dem president.

The Dems will be nothing but brutal and ruthless from now on. IMO

He’s doing a darned good job of pushing the citizens to rebel. This kind of talk, from an elected official no less, inevitably leads to violence. Doesn’t matter who starts it, violence soon spirals out of control.

Any veterans out there okay with being called cowards?

So how about Trump withdraws federal aid from Wolf if he carries out his threat.

The more local you make your funding, the more local your choices. Radical devolution is a vital and necessary move post pandemic.

Wolf’s behavior is like an Oligarch.....

Oligarchy = government by the few, especially despotic power exercised by a small and privileged group for corrupt or selfish purposes....An oligarchy forms when leaders agree to increase their power regardless of whether it benefits society.

Gov. Wolf’s secretary of health, the freak that looks like Mr. Piggy.

Um, isn’t Wolf basically admitting that he wields no actual restrictive power in this regard, and he only holds purse strings?

Wolf's just crossed the line of the Pennsylvania citizens by threatening further financial harm on Pa. businesses.

Any Americans out there okay with being called cowards? I’m looking forward to a Blue state deluge when all those tyrant governors are kicked out.
