PA House Approves Quigley Plan to Study Property Tax Reform
In the flurry of last-minute activity, the PA House approved State Rep. Tom Quigley's resolution calling for the creation of commission to study property tax reform. It's not the same as approving HB 1776, but at least it keeps the issue alive in Harrisburg.

Liberal Media Bias 101
The ultra-liberal Reading Eagle has a story in its Saturday edition
about a rally sponsored by a left-wing activist group called Keystone
Progress. The news value of the "protest" is questionable. The
newspaper ignores many rallies by conservative groups, but it's the
photo next to the article that drew my attention.
The article says 40 people attended the rally. But the photo next to the story shows 1 woman holding a sign and part of a second woman standing near her. If you're going to take a photo of a rally, wouldn't you want to include as many people in it? Especially when only 40 people show up. Either the reporter wrote the story from a press release issued by the left-wing activists or the reporter can't count.

Gov. Corbett: Obamacare raises health care costs for families, employers and PA
"Despite the President's repeated assertions that this was not a tax, the Supreme Court today ruled that it is in fact a tax,'' Corbett said. "Not only is it a tax, but it may turn out to be one of the largest tax increases in the history of our nation. It is a tax on our citizens that they cannot afford. It is a tax that hits our small businesses the hardest and will kill job growth.
"This law will raise healthcare costs for our families, our employers and our state,'' Corbett said. "This is a burden to all of us who work every day to recover from the recession.

Obamacare mandate ruled a tax
Obama promised not to raise taxes on the middle class, but Obamacare is a $1.7 trillion tax increase on the middle class. How can anyone support a habitual liar?

Rep. Kevin Boyle blocks Pa. property tax reform
The House Finance Committee voted 13-11 on Monday to table a vote to send House Bill 1776 (the Property Tax Independence Act) to the full House for a vote to eliminate school property taxes in Pennsylvania.
The vote effectively ends any hope of getting property tax reform in Pennsylvania this year.
Here are the names of the 13 state legislators (9 Republicans and 4 Democrats) who voted for the status quo and denied potential relief from burdensome school taxes for Pennsylvania taxpayers:

Columnist: Trim down number of school districts in Pa.
Here's a quick way to save a few million dollars. Trip the 500 school superintendents in Pennsylvania making between $100,000 and $200,000 a year down to about 40.
Columnist Paul Golias: We don't need 500 school systems. The administrative overkill is phenomenal. Luzerne County could function well as one school district. Public education in Pennsylvania likely could work with 40 districts. Smaller, rural-type counties could be tied together.

Newspaper: Paterno's will is a public matter
Penn State and the Paterno family fought for years to keep his taxpayer-paid salary a secret until courts ruled it was a matter of public record. I don't understand why Paterno's will is being kept private. It's also a public document, especially since he's receiving more than $10 million in a pension settlement with Penn State University.

Property Tax Independence Act falls short of action
Pennsylvania voters must demand more from their elected officials. From an editorial in The Pottstown Mercury: What's lacking is for legislative leadership and Gov. Tom Corbett to champion the cause. Until that happens, property tax reform will remain a case of all talk and no action.

Romney Coming to Pennsylvania June 16
From the Romney for President Campaign:
Mitt Romney will meet with America’s families and business owners in small towns in six states as part of his “Every Town Counts” five-day bus tour. The “Every Town Counts” bus tour will begin in New Hampshire on June 15 and will continue on to small towns in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan."For three and a half years, President Obama has paid little attention to the everyday concerns of the American people,” Mitt Romney said. “President Obama has offered no hope for the future, and he has left American families to bear the burden of his failed policies. Too many American families have experienced a lost job, faced foreclosure, or been forced to spend their kids' college savings just to make ends meet. These are not statistics – these are our fellow Americans. In America’s small towns, you don't find despair -- you find boundless optimism. We know we can make America better, and that is why I am running for president."Believe In America: Every Town Counts Bus Tour Outline· Friday, June 15 – New Hampshire· Saturday, June 16 – Pennsylvania· Sunday, June 17 – Ohio· Monday, June 18 – Wisconsin and Iowa· Tuesday, June 19 – MichiganMore details will be announced in the coming days.

Mitt Romney: Walker Victory 'Will Echo Beyond The Borders Of Wisconsin'
Mitt Romney issued the following statement on Gov. Scott Walker's victory in the Tuesday's Wisconsin recall election:
"I congratulate Scott Walker on his victory in Wisconsin. Governor Walker has demonstrated over the past year what sound fiscal policies can do to turn an economy around, and I believe that in November voters across the country will demonstrate that they want the same in Washington, D.C. Tonight’s results will echo beyond the borders of Wisconsin. Governor Walker has shown that citizens and taxpayers can fight back – and prevail – against the runaway government costs imposed by labor bosses. Tonight voters said ‘no’ to the tired, liberal ideas of yesterday, and 'yes' to fiscal responsibility and a new direction. I look forward to working with Governor Walker to help build a better, brighter future for all Americans."
