Pennsylvania state lawmakers in both parties have a message for Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, and it goes something like this: No taxation without representation!
That message came through loud and clear in September when the General Assembly passed legislation that would prohibit the governor from joining a multi-state climate change agreement without legislative approval. The Senate vote was just one vote shy of a veto-proof majority with five Democrats joining with Republicans to support the bill. On the House side, seven Democrats served as co-sponsors of the bill, which passed by a wide margin in July.
Wolf, taking inspiration from King George III, nevertheless has decided to bypass the General Assembly with a regulatory package that ignores scientific findings and economic realities. Earlier this month, he vetoed the legislation that would have enabled the people’s elected representatives to exercise a straight up or down vote on the merits of carbon taxes. In his veto message, Wolf said the legislation prohibiting unilateral executive actions is “extremely dangerous to public health and welfare.” Why would that be?
There is a “global climate crisis.” That’s what Wolf says in his public statement explaining his veto. Not only that, but the governor finds Pennsylvania is already experiencing “adverse impacts from climate change.” He cites “higher temperatures” and “frequent extreme weather events” as examples of adverse impacts. Therefore, Wolf is calling for drastic action in the form of anti-industry regulations that, from his point of view, cannot take a back seat to constitutional government.

PA has about as bad a governor as MI!?
Tommie The Commie is at it again.
One of the elements of this stupid multi-state agreement is the elimination of all fossil-fuel vehicles in Pennsylvania by some date in the future (say, 2050).
As one representative told me when we were discussing this back in the spring ... "Forget about eliminating all fossil-fuel vehicles on the road in PA by 2050. We can't even figure out how to eliminate fossil-fuel vehicles among the fleets of cars and trucks where the state government of Pennsylvania is actually the buyer and owner of those vehicles."
If you can't even figure out how to buy a single DOT snow plow that runs on something other than diesel fuel, then your ideas about replacing every vehicle registered in the state are delusional at best.
perfect. DJT will shred biden over this. barring shenanigans, PA just turned red.
everyone is looking at this wrong. this is the best election news in months.
What do you expect? He is a democrat!
And so George Washington Elementary will become George Floyd Elementary.
“ PA has about as bad a governor as MI!?”
And NY, and NJ and California and Washington, and on and on.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
This article is yet another example of D's "caring" about the people(/s).
And in general, if you live in a dem blue state-know that while red states are opening, and starting to recover, your democrats will not "allow" you to recover.
(They need to cheat in the election, so they force people to stay home, and won't let them open their businesses. Keep everyone scared and have mail in ballots= mass vote fraud. )
The Democrat party does not give a 💩 about you.
WAKE UP!
