Pretty much doubled the state gasoline tax. Fell for the old “we need to repair our roads” dodge. The roads after last winter are as bad as I’ve ever seen them. It’s June and some potholes haven’t seen any repair attempts yet. Most of the money is getting shoveled to mass transit for Philly & Pittsburgh.
I would have expected this from a Democrat like Rendell, but a Republican? Inexcusable!
It seems that new taxes promised for roads always go to “mass transportation” projects that benefit a tiny minority and do nothing to make the roads better.
His campaign manager keeps saying that with time his standing will improve and Corbett will win decisively. Ahahahaha. Knowing the mood of many conservatives in my state, I can tell you that it won’t happen! 2010 was such a wasted opportunity.
