This morning I attended a breakfast fundraiser sponsored by the Carbon County Democratic Party at the New Columbus Fire House. The food was excellent—ham, chipped beef, bacon, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes—a hearty breakfast. The hall was filled, and the diners heard speeches by Sen. John Yudichak and Patti Borger, running for the 122nd House seat.
We were warned that because Wolf is so far ahead of Corbett, Democratic voters may get over-confident and stay home, figuring they really don’t need to vote this time around. There was determination in the room not to let that happen.
This morning I also learned how angry some voters are about Corbett’s treatment of Joe Paterno. I know that as a Penn State grad I was angry, but I didn’t realize how much that issue resonated.
I thought the big issues were corporate tax cuts, slashing the education budget, refusing an extraction tax on Marcellus shale drillers, and the inability to pass a property tax reform even though Republicans have controlled both houses of the legislature and the governor’s office for the past four years.
There are so many reasons why Corbett has got to go.
