So I know PA does not tax pensions or SS. My dad actually collected his PSERS retirement for more years than he taught school (retired at 60, died at 92). If Wolf had lost the election I would probably not be doing this, as I sure wouldnt trust the Trash Man with not screwing around with our pensions.
Yeah our gas taxes are high but the wage tax (3.07%) has not gone up since the Rendell admin.
