General Discussion

Do with their majority? Try and appease areas of the state that are hostile to them?

As a PA resident, I appalled at how much state money goes into the deep red parts of this state. Why do folks who support their local fire and police departments have to pay to keep state police in other sections of the state who don’t have local forces? Why is Turnpike money builing new toll roads in Pittsburgh no locals want to use? Why are we finishing the 322 project in Centre County so people can shave off 5 minutes to get to a college football game?

The roads I travel to work haven’t been touched in decades. Potholes damage cars. Street lights stay on all day. My public transit is operating with equipment from the Nixon era. And on and on.

I would love it if Dems played hardball and kept taxes and PA Turnpike money in the communities that generated it. Let the rurals figure out their own spending on their own
