It appears that some elements in the Republican Party of Pennsylvania have one and only one goal – to not raise taxes.
It doesn’t matter if spending in our classrooms, and especially in the classrooms in our lowest income communities, have not recovered from the Corbett cuts of 2011-12; they won’t raise taxes.
It doesn’t matter if waiting lists for mental health and intellectual disability services grow; they won’t raise taxes.
It doesn’t matter if tuition keeps rising for our colleges and universities.
