I live in Pennsylvania. The roads are terrible. Snow removal is inadequate and spotty at best. The news shows always make a big thing out of showing PennDot getting ready for bad weather. The road in Chester County Pa runs right into Maryland. You will drive that road in Pennsylvania and go over the state line and see the stark difference in road management in storms. It is like night and day. Maryland knows how to deal with a storm. Pennsylvania is known for just this type of thing. Incompetent PennDot. God forbid any snow storm comes on a weekend. Our township plows the state roads because PennDot is lousy at keeping them open.

Fast Eddie Rendell will boost the sales tax from 6% to 7%. He intends to bump the tobacco tax up. The gas tax is already higher than Maryland and NJ. He now has the Democrat legislature to raise taxes on whatever he wants.

PennDot exists for the sole purpose of being a laundromat for washing the tax dollars that get dumped into the unions.

I was on TDY to Washington DC Mon - Wed and spent the night in Tysons Corners. I decided I wanted to come home on Wed or keep waiting for the ice and freezing rain. I kept my speed to 50 -60. VA roads were plowed okay, and so was 15 thru Maryland. But as soon as I crossed over to PA, 15 was not plowed as well as 15 in Maryland was plowed.
