But a quarter of his time has elapsed, and the antipathy with his Republican rivals only seems to be increasing.

Thomas riled his classmates early on when one of his first acts was to boot the school mascot (Corbett-appointed open records office manager).

Very nice post.
IMO, Wolf is eminently qualified to sell used, soiled mattresses to flophouses in Philly and Camden ghettos. Nothing more.

He’s just another Marxist.

Trying to balance the budget without accounting gimmicks? Give me a break. There’s absolutely no trick nor anything complex about balancing a budget. All it takes is courage and a basic grasp of arithmetics.

Claptrap:

He seeks to increase the state's percentage of public school funding and make sensible investments in Pennsylvania students. His efforts to reform property taxes also deserve praise, as does his focus on improving struggling urban school districts such as in York City.

Understand one thing and one thing only: When Democrat governors vow to reform the local property tax they mean JUST THIS: funnel more money from YOUR kids' school district into the bankrupt Philadelphia schools (and to a lesser degree, the bankrupt school districts in Allegheny County and a few other urban areas.)

Wolf got himself elected by promising he would soak Natural Gas producers and taxpayers with higher income and sales taxes to pay off s $1 billion dollar pledge to the PSEA.

So far, the Republican legislature won't have any of it. Good.

Unfortunately, these efforts are incomplete. We hope to see more concrete results in future marking periods.

Fortunately, he has failed, and continues to fail. Since the only area in which the local York fishwrap gives him above average grades is an area he should fail, his overall grade is more like a D- or F.

A newspaper from York.

Where I hear daily repots on the local news about homicides, shootings, gang-related violence, etc?

A Democrat controlled city, run by a black female Dem. mayor.

Just like Harrisburg, which is also run by a black female Dem mayor.

Agreed, but he’s not for balancing budgets which can stand the light of scrutiny. He’s a closet redistributionist, intent on keeping his brand of Marxism & socialism alive and quietly functioning, in PA. He’s in the greasy pockets of the PSEA and unions and the Dem PA Machine, and his brand of accounting will never see the light of day. He’ll destroy fracking and drilling revenue in 1-2yrs, and move the tax burden on to business, driving even more out-of-state; no surprise there.

Does “C” stand for “Crackhead”? If so, I agree, cause many crackheads would do better.

He’s a real jackwagon, all right.

But our legislature has managed to stonewall him so far. And his AG is about to be thrown out of office.
