False Choice Tax Hike Or Good Roads

False Choice Tax Hike Or Good Roads — State Rep. John McGinnis (R-79) notes that one-third of the spending in the Senate-pushed transportation bill would not have gone to roads and bridges. The bill would have caused a 28-cents per gallon price increase at the pump along with other sneaky costs on the citizen.

“It was like an obese man seeking nutrition at the most expensive dessert shop in town,” he said.

“All of us should oppose false choices with bad consequences,” he said.

When Attorney General Hates The Law

When Attorney General Hates The Law — Philadelphia Daily News columnist Stu Bykofsky has written rather courageous piece noting that the refusal of Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s  to defend Pennsylvania’s same-sex marriage ban from a lawsuit by the ACLU  “is materially no different than George Wallace blocking the entrance to a school because he didn’t agree with the court knocking down segregation.”

He says if Ms. Kane has a ethical problem with enforcing the law she should resign. In Pennsylvania it should be noted that it is the attorney general who is the chief law enforcement officer, not the governor.

Bykofsky’s piece can be found here.
