Pennsylvania Senate committee passes bill to cut state gas tax

The Pa Senate is presently republican controlled. We have the governor seat and the house.
This tax increased was signed by governor Corbett a republican and a republican controlled congress. They raised our taxes and made it so the tax would go up every year.
We also have the most expensive toll road in the world. The Pa Trunpike. Rt 476.
Now repukes want to be heros and lower the tax they increased!
I bet they blame Democrats for the increase.

I spoke to him about attacking on the issue of republicans raising taxes. He lost the election and did not attack the republicans for raising taxes.

County road fee on vehicle registrations. On top of the state fee, which goes up every year.

Sectors of government should not be profitable to subsidize other gov't functions. If you want to pay for a program, pay for it. Stop the sleight-of-hand and subterfuge.
