Privatize (Charter) schools and debase the budget.
Privatize the liquor control board's package stores
Privatize the lottery (which I don't play, but take your point well)
Privatize natural resources, sucking everything from good water to bad, stinking up every fresh breath to produce shale gas for the oil companies.

I feel all of his privatization at the local level and I applauded the Post Gazette's picture of Kathleen Kane's swearing in because I hope the first thing she gets in order is the way he, as attorney general ignored Sandusky.

I'd love to shove Act 13 up his and the collective assess of all members of ALEC
I'd love to shove him in a jail cell with Jerry, who can make him one of his kids.

This despicable waste of protoplasm should go down and go down soon.

He has a lot more time on his hands to steal now that he's not protecting a child raper. amywalk Nov 2012 #3

Just like Corbett, Toomey is only in this to serve his corporate puppet masters. blue neen Nov 2012 #14

I emailed my state senator and rep but they are both repubs so I know it's a waste of my time! ebbie15644 Nov 2012 #12

It is never a waste of time. Curmudgeoness Nov 2012 #15

As it is, the lottery is run by 200 people and doing fine. Why suck money out of it? HopeHoops Nov 2012 #16

Corbett also had the PA Lottery cancel their advertising contract with MARC USA. blue neen Nov 2012 #17
