Lost Opportunity: Corbett's Choices Will Hurt Pennsylvanians from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"His second plan, $27.1 billion for 2012-13, reads much like the first, with deep funding cuts and a cold shoulder toward new revenues. He called his budget "lean and demanding," but it looks more like a lost
opportunity. For the second year in a row, Mr. Corbett refuses to consider a severance tax on deep natural gas drilling, a booming energy sector that routinely pays the tax to support other states in which it operates. But the governor, true to his no-tax-hike pledge, refuses to let Pennsylvania go that route."
