Shapiro-Richards Turn To Scare Tactics

It appears the Democratic candidates for Montgomery County commissioner are getting desperate.

I saw a Josh Shapiro-Leslie Richards ad on TV last night where the Democrats said that the Republican ticket of Bruce Castor and Leslie Brown would make it more difficult for women to have abortions.

Talk about coming out of left field. Since when is abortion an issue in a county commissioner race? Typical Democratic scare tactics.

I'm surprised Shapiro-Richards didn't try to tell people Castor and Brown were going to cut Social Security benefits for the elderly or continue the war in Afghanistan.

SE PA Lawmakers Reject Route 422 Tolls

Five state representatives from legislative districts along Route 422 in Montgomery, Chester and Berks counties held a press conference Thursday afternoon along the busy highway to announce their opposition to a proposal to toll the four-lane highway. The lawmakers said the tolls would force traffic onto local roads and there is no guarantee that passenger rail service would ever be built to ease congestion on Route 422. The Republican lawmakers expressing opposition to the plan being pushed by Montgomery County Commissioner Joe Hoeffel and the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, include Reps. Tom Quigley, Mike Vereb, Warren Kampf, Marcy Toepel and David Maloney.
