Tax Group Blasts PA Legislature For Massive Tax Hike


Americans for Prosperity-Pennsylvania, the state's largest grassroots free-market organization, issued the following statement denouncing the recent vote by the PA House of Representatives (and Senate) that would impose a $2 billion transportation tax increase on Pennsylvanians.

"The Pennsylvania House's 'Yes' vote on a two-billion-dollar gas tax is a direct assault on working families," said AFP-Pennsylvania State Director Jennifer Stefano. "The Pennsylvania legislators who voted yes on this tax should hang their head in shame. They are refusing to address the true cost drivers for transportation, especially the unfair and burdensome Prevailing Wage. These lawmakers are shirking their duty to find responsible reforms. Instead, they're taking the easy way out by pilfering more money from hard working men and women in our Commonwealth. Pennsylvania currently spends nearly $7 billion annually on transportation. While improvements in efficiency have been made, there is much more that can be done to prioritize. There is not one redeeming part of this legislation that addresses the cost drivers.”

Bill Raises Maximum Speed Limit in Pennsylvania to 70



Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati (R-Jefferson) issued the following statement regarding his proposal to increase the maximum speed limit on Pennsylvania interstate highways and the Pennsylvania Turnpike being included in the Transportation Funding Reform Package: 
Today’s Senate passage of the transportation funding reform package is a tremendous achievement for Pennsylvania residents and will strengthen our transportation infrastructure.  In addition to providing critical funding for transportation initiatives across the Commonwealth, House Bill 1060 will allow for increasing Pennsylvania’s maximum speed limit.

The transportation package includes language taken from my Senate Bill 1170, and will allow an increase of the maximum speed limit on Pennsylvania interstate highways and the Pennsylvania Turnpike from 65 to 70 miles per hour.  This is an important step forward for our Commonwealth and will let Pennsylvania join the 34 other states across the United States who already allow for speeds of 70 MPH and higher. 

The timing of the speed limit increase is both acceptable and necessary to include as a part of the transportation plan, in light of the significant amount of funding being invested in transportation infrastructure across the state.  Our bridges and roads are going to be far more structurally sound and capable of allowing vehicles to travel safely at a slightly higher speed. 

Safety of our roads is a chief priority of the transportation package and raising of the speed limit will take place only after required engineering and traffic studies are conducted by PennDOT and the Turnpike Commission.  This responsible approach to increasing Pennsylvania’s maximum speed limit on interstate highways and the PA Turnpike will allow for better traffic flow and provide for greater efficiency in the delivery of goods and services throughout the Commonwealth.

Real U.S. Jobless Rate Is 11.8%

Investor's Business Daily has calculated the real unemployment rate in this country and it's a lot higher than the numbers released by the Obama administration. One of the Labor Department's "dirty little secrets" is that the monthly jobless rate does not count people who have given up looking for work. When you factor in those folks, the real unemployment is in double-digits: 11.8 percent to be exact.

From Investor's Business Daily:
Census employees "faked" employment survey data, possibly accounting for an unemployment drop just before the 2012 election, claims the New York Post.

But even taking the government figures at face value, the jobless rate is radically distorted — and by far more than a short-term drop of a few tenths of a percentage point.

The unemployment rate was 7.3% as of October, still high but essentially at the lowest level since the end of 2008. However, almost all of the apparent improvement has come from a historic exodus from the labor force.

Excluding this dramatic shift, the jobless rate would be 11.8%, 4.5 percentage points above the official figure and virtually unchanged from peak levels.

AHEPA Deeply Concerned with Turkish PM's Statement on Cyprus

The following press released was issued by ahepa:

WASHINGTON - The American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA), a leading grassroots membership-based association for the nation’s millions of Greek Americans and Philhellenes, sent a letter to Secretary of State John F. Kerry expressing “deep concern and bewilderment” with a statement made November 10, 2013 by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan with regard to the Republic of Cyprus, announced Supreme President Anthony Kouzounis. Prime Minister Erdogan was quoted in the Turkish-Cypriot daily Kibris, “There is no country named Cyprus. There is the local administration of south Cyprus.”
“It is our opinion that Prime Minister Erdogan’s statement is inflammatory and offensive toward a staunch friend and ally in the eastern Mediterranean, the Republic of Cyprus, and its citizens,” Supreme President Kouzounis wrote. “Moreover, it certainly does not bode well for the upcoming, renewed efforts by the United Nations to bring the Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Cypriot community together in the search for a just and viable settlement to the near 40-year division of Cyprus.”
Although the U.S. Department of State, through a spokesperson, said it would look into the statement, AHEPA’s letter calls on the U.S. government to address the issue with the Turkish government in future bilateral meetings.
