I doubt I will vote for any of the candidates for Governor of Pennsylvania for the simple reason
none of them addresses the budget deficit in a substantive way.
There are no new ideas presented by any of the candidates that will close the 3 billion dollar gap.
They all seem to ignore the two major problems that account for the largest parts of the wasteful spending in state government, the over funded prison system and illegal alien.
The state spends nearly as much on prisons as it does on schools, and illegal aliens in Pennsylvania
cost Pennsylvanians nearly one third of the budget deficit, over 800 million dollars!
I can not afford another property tax increase. I am tired of my tax dollars going into expensive programs that support people that are here illegally, or support people who break the law.

Be careful about AARP!! I will never become a member of their organization due to the fact they are a very LIBERAL one.

The good folks at the Pennsylvania Family Institute have a way to compare candidates on key issues in the governor’s race, plus U.S. Senate and contested local races for congress and state House. Social and fiscal issues, nonpartisan, you decide.
