Don’t just spend money there. Spend cash. If I owned a business in that county I’d make it my mission in life to report $0 in revenue for sales tax purposes for the rest of this year.
It’s mostly farm country here.
The Lebanon Area Fairgrounds would work if the weather cooperated.
Last time I checked, Lebanon county had 38 total deaths attributed to the covid since the beginning of the outbreak. There are a lot of nursing homes throughout the state that were compelled by the wolf administration to admit covid-positive residents into a closed environment with the most vulnerable population. This is tyranny.
Wolf is an F’n bastard. This absolutely proves that this is all politics. Everyone knows Lebanon County will go for Trump in November. Businesses in Lebanon should say, “FU Tommy the Commie. We ain’t collecting state sales tax any longer. Everyone come buy from our fully open businesses and get an automatic 6% discount.”
It doesn’t matter what Philadelphia and Pittsburgh think. Wolf is a lame duck. He’s term limited. He is just doing as much damage to Red counties as possible. The Rats in Philadelphia, Allegheny and Lackwanna counties are so ignorant and low-IQ’d that they don’t know they are being abused. They are useful idiots that will vote Rat every election. Wolf is trying to convince a bunch of Karens that are otherwise conservative in red counties to vote for against Trump. I doubt it will work.
That’s only a valid argument if every company within the county entirely operated within the county, and if the county never shut down; none of which is the case. Their violation, if I recall correctly, was opening a few days before the governor gave his approval.
Hardly something which would make up for the 13 million in aide.
And again, we roll back to the same argument used by sanctuary cities, their not abiding by every regulation and rule does not make them ineligible for federal assistance. Since the courts have certainly made enough rulings on that topic (not to mention national speed limits and smoking rules), there’s a large body of rulings which the county can claim that the governor is illegally withholding federal funds.
Representative Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler) sent the following open letter today offering Gov. Tom Wolf the opportunity to resign or face impeachment and potential removal from office:
“With each passing day the General Assembly and those we represent are gaining further momentum in pursuing your impeachment through House Resolution 915. Following the shame and struggles you have placed upon the state, we ask that you save us further strife by resigning on your own accord. Your further authoritarian dictates, as of yesterday, have only strengthened our resolve.
“On behalf of our shared constituents, shuttered businesses, and the families who have lost loved ones due to your unconscionable dictates, it is time that you vacate the position of governor and allow for a leader more in line with our citizens’ values to guide the Commonwealth. Do not allow this to devolve into a situation like we experienced in 2016 with your lawless and duly convicted Attorney General Kathleen Kane...
I dont know what the laws are. If we are able, we need to have a petition to impeach or on to recall Emperor Wolf.
