It with the gas tax, for instance, debate going on. Corbett made news when he talked to politics pa saying he could not make the same tax pledge during this Reelection Campaign wheres facing tom wolf only that he will do everything he can to keep taxes under control. Not signing the tax pledge again, ed, surprising to you and something that will hurt him with republicans . It will no doubt hurt him with a segment of the republican party. Something has to be said about the pledges. This is for the public good. These things are a mess. The notion that an elected officials would never under any circumstances for any reason raise taxes is different from saying what the governor said. I am inclined not to raise taxes. I will try my level best. The notion not ever for any reason i consider calling upon the public, explain to them, why it is we need more money for public good thats flat out irresponsible. The politics all of this, how it plays out, ill leave that to terry an george to explain

Feel uneasy with the direction the county is heading. I think a lot of people are not comfortable with obama care and other things. I think theres another important part. People are tired of a complete lack of function in our government. Senator reid chose to shut down the senate two years ago and weve done almost nothing, this is an important opportunity and obligation for republicans to govern. Weve got to reopen the senate and pass bills and be productive as the American People expect us to. People are concerned about taxes, the elephant in every room, youre, woulding on a billow owe youre working on a bill for taxes that come up for renewal or nonrenewal, swells as well as as our friends from new jersey.

He does come in with an opportunity, a real opportunity to sit down with all sides. I want to pick up with something you raised, the shift in the Republican Party statewide.
