I note a lot of outflow to PA — a non-income tax state.

Not true. PA does have a State Income Tax, currently pegged at around 3%. Our advantage though is that our State Constitution prohibits making it "progressive". You pay the same flat tax whether you make $10,000 per year or $30 million. Where you get screwed here is by your local yocals.

What makes PA different from NY is this -— PA’s greenies are not as strong as those in NY.

Your natural gas industry is flourishing with thousands upon thousands of jobs being added due to allowing hydrofracking on your side of the Marcellus Shale.

We here in NY on the other hand are still waiting for approval. We’ve studied the issue to death and found it to be quite safe ( heck PA, already proved it ). But guess what is being proposed? You guessed it — ANOTHER ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY!!
