I inherited all of the problems, just look at my pie charts.

Raising taxes is NEVER an option. PA corporation pay high taxes (except for the ones that pay little to none- Delaware loophole anyone?)

Public employees need to make more sacrifice. I'll hold funding for mass transit hostage until pensions are cut.

I don't care about polls when they don't support my cuts to education, but I care about push polls that support voter ID laws.

I have to make tough choices, just look at my pie charts.

People need to consider other options to higher education, like online classes where THOUSANDS could take the same class.

What do you mean PA ranks 45th in funding of higher education? We spend plenty, just look at my pie charts.
