The 28 cents, over 5 years, sucks for sure.
ANY Democrat will raise taxes even more AND do what they can to crush the natural gas industry in PA.
Corbett leaves a lot to be desired. I just see greater LOSS and destruction to our state if I sit by and allow a Democrat to win. Make no mistake, It is either Corbett or an Obama style Democrat.
When Corbett raised the gas tax, he set himself up for some Democrat to pulverize him on not taxing the natural gas extraction.
They can wage class warfare on that level saying the little guys pay at the pump while the big guys pay nothing.
Gas extraction is taxed at 11 percent in North Dakota and the industry hasn’t been crushed there.
Sarah Palin fought to get the energy industry to pay some tax while they exploited Alaska’s natural resources.
There was prosperity along with the taxation.
She found a crony relationship between the Republican political machine and the energy industry when she chaired the oil and gas commission there.
Democrats protect a union in Pennsylvania by not allowing liquor sales in private stores instead of state stores.
Are Republicans protecting the natural gas industry by not taxing extraction????
