The vote was 26-24. Fourteen of the 34 Republicans in the 50 member body voted yes. The guilty ones were:
Sen. Pat Browne

What good are these people? What does party Chairman Val DiGirogio say?
Hey did you see where Pennsylvan taxpayers are on the hook for a $477,591 public pension?

Term limits that’s the ticket. We will definetly remember you .Tom McGarrigle. We have a lot of friends in Springield.
Bill and Ernie, you are being unfair to these “Republicans.” How do you think you can fund $477,000.00 pensions without tax increases?
Party Chairman Val DiGiorgio is complicit. Look at the list of tax raisers. This isn’t a few Rinos bucking the “Republican” establishment. Sen. Joe Scarnati is the senior R in the Senate, the President Pro Tem. Jake Corman is the second in line, the majority leader. John Gordner is third in line, the majority whip. Bob Mensch is next senior R, the majority Caucus Chairman. Read Bill’s list of who voted for higher taxes and note all of the above “Republican” “Leaders” voted for the tax increases. So I guess Mr. DiGiogio won’t have a lot to say about it.
