From an op-ed column by House Republican Leader Sam Smith published in The Pottstown Mercury:
A large majority of Pennsylvanians agree increasing taxes is the wrong thing to do. We also can't spend what we don't have. That means the state can spend somewhere around $27.3 billion.
We think $27.3 billion is a lot of money and can ensure government operations continue. It's enough to keep state parks open and hospitals operating. It's enough to deal with hazardous waste, and it's enough to keep law enforcement on the streets. If it isn't, we should be looking at why, not throwing more money at it.
Government spending is out of control, and the governor and most House Democrats want to continue their recklessness. Republicans recognize the money that is funding the state and schools comes from your pocket. We believe in budgetary constraint by having government live within its means, just like you have to do.
Republicans will fight against Gov. Rendell's proposed tax increase — $27.3 billion is MORE than enough.

Sam Smith is nothing but a snake in the grass that has been telling the public lies for way to long, At least people in his town of Punxsutawney are now learning. If you really want to point fingers you should go to the demecratic side and not make us faithfull republicans look bad. Most of all listen to what the people are willing to due, not what you want. Your human guy, that means your not perfect!
