I’ve been talking about New Jersey, but I really don’t want Pennsylvania to be left out. In Pennsylvania, among other things, the Governor’s proposed budget cuts school funding, cuts funding for state run or supported higher education and eliminates a program that gives medical care for poor people.
What the budget doesn’t do is get the state any money from the fracking gas companies. They get more than $2 billion dollars from state resources but don’t give anything back to the state except contaminated water.
So, let’s recap: cut funding for schools and poor people, give away state resources to out-of-state (and out of the country) corporations.
What a swell way to run a state.
