HARRISBURG – Today, the Republican Party of Pennsylvania released a new Web ad, titled “$500,” which examines the true cost of Governor Ed Rendell and the Democrats’ plan to raise personal income taxes by 16% on hardworking Pennsylvania families.
“Pennsylvanians should be outraged by the Governor’s proposal to increase taxes,” Gleason said. “Rather than make fiscally responsible decisions in Harrisburg, he has decided to shift the burden of the state’s $3 billion budget deficit to Pennsylvania families by calling for a major tax hike. Governor Ed Rendell’s decision to cut the annual budget of every hardworking Pennsylvania family by $500 is deplorable.”
You can view our Web ad on our Web site at www.pagop.org/blog or through the PA GOP’s YouTube page at www.youtube.com/PennsylvaniaGOP. For the second week in a row, a Web ad released by the Republican Party of Pennsylvania encourages concerned Pennsylvanians to contact Governor Ed Rendell and Democrat Party leaders and to pass a fiscally responsible budget that will not increase taxes before the end of the fiscal year on June 30th, 2009.
“For months, Republicans have put forth real solutions that will balance our budget without raising taxes. It is time for Democrats to do the job they are paid to do and make tough decisions in Harrisburg, not force hardworking Pennsylvanians to carry the burden of their out-of-control spending proposals and decision to increase taxes.”
