AddThis utility frame: "In Pennsylvania, the club’s former president, former Rep. Pat Toomey, is the runaway favorite for the Republican nomination and has a chance to take on party switcher Sen. Arlen Specter, assuming Specter survives his own Democratic primary challenge from Rep. Joe Sestak."

Advocacy for Pittsburgh taxpayers and Pittsburgh businesses - Allegheny Institute

Advocacy for Pittsburgh taxpayers and Pittsburgh businesses - Allegheny Institute: "With thirty co-sponsors, a bill introduced by Rep. Paul Costa would ban the imposition of the proposed education privilege tax in Pittsburgh and preclude any other municipality in Pennsylvania from enacting such a levy. The so called 'fair share tax' is highly controversial and has enraged students and prompted university officials to mount a serious opposition campaign. And rightly so: as we have pointed out over recent weeks, this tax is one of the worst ideas ever to arise out of Pittsburgh government."

Center For Security Policy

"The men and women Elmendorf who play a vital role in the air defense of our nation and, if necessary, in the projection of dominant aerospace power overseas understandably wanted to have as the backdrop for an important presidential address their best weapon system, the F-22 Raptor. There was only one problem: President Obama had made the cancellation of production of this state-of-the-art air superiority fighter one of his signature 'defense' initiatives."

Commonwealth Foundation - Pennsylvania's October Revenues Fall Short

Commonwealth Foundation - Pennsylvania's October Revenues Fall Short: "The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue released October revenue collections. Once again, the numbers fell short of projections - the state is now $160 short of estimate for the fiscal year.
The tax collections were slightly higher than last year (note that $1.8 billion was 'non-tax revenue', i.e. transfers from the Rainy Day Fund and other funds).
Prognosis - things are looking more and more like another budget shortfall.
