We are getting the shaft ping.
An increase in the price of gas is sure to follow with the heightened emissions standards due to having to use reformulated gas which cuts emissions.
So let's see, an increase in the price of the vehicle, an increase in the base price of the fuel, an increase in the tax on the fuel........ where is my property tax break again?
Ed "the thug" Rendell is flooding the airwaves touting his fiscal responsibility and his increased spending for seniors and schools while the working class gets jammed up again. Come on PA, let's vote for more democrats!!!! There just isn't enough waste and sense of entitlement in this Commonwealth... 'Common' "wealth" how apropos.
BTW I heard on the radio someone is already challenging this in federal court.
Just ONE more reason to leave before the Democrats take over in January and finish bleeding us of every last drop of blood and our guns as well. Memo to self: Call the realtor tomorrow.
17 votes(or 100%) say NO!
"reformulated gas "

Sorry, it was Americans that built America, unions just staked claim on the credit.
Case in point the recent "PA Clean Sweep" win that ushered out many pro-gun legislators. Now the 2nd Amendment is under attack because people were upset that they voted themselves a pay raise.
Done.
Wow! Someone is doing something before NY? I need to pinch myself...
Another reason for Clean Sweep.
Bad guys have pulled ahead.
