State Budget Deadline Approaching - same old, same old It was this time last year that I really started paying attention to State news and writing Harrisburg. Once you start breaking your own rules consistently, you really lose your moral compass, and I think we see this everywhere. That's why we need all the new people in the political committees - not to be little worker bees, volunteers, or bystanders, but to become part of the process and readdress policy, re-establish party platforms based on timeless principles, and hold peoples' feet to the ground.. We also need to give a meaningful voice to our fellow Republicans -- the ones who live next door and down the road. We have to find the right ideas that will lead Pennsylvania back onto solid ground.
Highly recommend watching the McTigue video. We all have to do the hard things sometimes, not continue doing the wrong things over and over thinking something will change!
Also, development of the Marcellus Shale fields is the hope for PA economic recovery. Imposing special taxes on its development is like puting a dog collar around its neck that can be tightened a notch or two every year until it can't breathe, dies, or somehow escapes!
I'm also wondering - wouldn't it be appropriate for your County Committees - Democrat and Republican -- to be writing the General Assembly and Governor and demanding they balance the budget?
