Time to educate Gov. Corbett on property taxes


I was disappointed yesterday to learn that Gov. Tom Corbett has not read House Bill 1776 (The Property Tax Independence Act), has not met with its prime sponsor, Rep. Jim Cox, and did not know enough about the bill to take a position on it. The elimination of school property taxes is the No. 1 issue facing Pennsylvania taxpayers ... and the governor better get up to speed on it quickly.

House Finance Committee to Hold Second Hearing on Property Tax Independence Act

The state House of Representatives  is moving on a bill to eliminate school property taxes in Pennsylvania, but voters have to put pressure on legislative leaders to allow a vote on the bill.

A second hearing will be held June 4 on House Bill 1776, but even if the measure is voted out of committee, a full vote by the House cannot take place unless the Republican leadership agrees to it.

Editors' roundtable with Gov. Corbett focuses on fiscal woes

He's been in the governor's office for almost a year-and-a-half, but Republican Tom Corbett is still dealing with the mess left behind by Democrat Ed Rendell, who left office with a $4.2 billion budget deficit and failed to address some of the state's biggest problems, including public-employee pensions, transportation needs and funding for public education.

PA State Rep. Mike Vereb Outraged At Schools' $3.2B Reserve Funds

From a press release issued today by State Rep. Mike Vereb, R-150th Dist., on the news that Pennsylvania's 500 school districts are holding on to $3.2 billion in "reserves" at a time when many districts are raising property taxes, laying off staff and cutting programs:
"As we face another tight budget year, I am furious to find that many of the state’s school districts that are crying poor and blaming the state for their fiscal problems are sitting on surpluses, including one that totals $148 million. Simply put, hard-working taxpayers deserve an explanation of why these reserve funds haven’t been used to help ease the rising costs of education, especially at a time when some communities’ school property taxes have increased."
Gov. Tom Corbett has also called on school boards to dip into reserves to help balance their 2012-13 budgets.

From The Associated Press: "The school districts are making a concerted effort not to go into those reserves," Corbett said, adding that reserves are a rainy day fund that should be used at times like this.

Chris Christie, Cory Booker have some fun in 'Seinfeld' video spoof



I'm glad to see NJ Gov. Chris Christie and Newark Mayor Cory Booker both have a sense of humor, but don't be surprised if Booker ends up running against Christie for governor in 2013. Of course, Christie could end up being the vice president under President Mitt Romney, so it may not matter anyway.

Senate rejects Obama budget in 99-0 vote

Can't wait to hear the howls from the lunatic fringe on the left how every member of the U.S. Senate is racist for rejecting Obama's joke of a budget.

In case you're keeping track, the racist House of Representatives earlier rejected the very same Obama budget, 414-0.

No wonder the Justice Dept. launched an immediate investigation of JP Morgan after the firm announced it had lost $2B in a risky investment scheme. Turns out rich guy Barack Obama keeps some of his money in a JP Morgan account. We wouldn't want Obama, who is part of the 1% he keeps warning you about, to lose any of his money, now would we?

PA House Bill 1776 declares freedom from school property taxes


The new push to eliminate school property taxes in Pennsylvania needs support from voters.

From an editorial in The Pottstown Mercury:
The property tax reform legislation would benefit senior citizens and many lower- or fixed-income residents who struggle to pay increasing property taxes, but reform would also benefit public schools. The current system favors wealthier districts, forcing districts in poorer areas to raise taxes or cut programs to balance their budgets. The children of Pennsylvania stand to benefit from tax reform by spreading revenue for education more evenly across district lines.

'The most dangerous and destructive president ever'

Two striking comments from Nat Hentoff, one of the leading authorities on the Bill of Rights and civil liberties in the United States and a lifelong Democrat:

"Obama is possibly the most dangerous and destructive president we have ever had."

"Will I vote for Romney? To beat Obama, yes. How much more of who we are, though imperfect, will be left after four more years of Obama? We’re not conquered by him yet. Our most powerful weapon to remain who we are, the First Amendment, is open to everyone, whatever Obama thinks of them."

Questioning Obama's character

A.B. Stoddard, writing in The Hill newspaper: 
President Obama’s long national evolution is over. His bewildering, bungled admission that he now supports marriage for same-sex couples, after a lengthy “evolution” expedited by another Joe Biden gaffe, was an embarrassing episode he won’t want to repeat.
