Welcome to Pennsylvania: Home of Tax Free Fracking (Column in Morning Call)
Edited on Sat Apr-23-11 06:09 PM by JPZenger
The title is a play on a slogan that was used in the State of Delaware: "Welcome to Delaware: Tax Free Shopping"

The following are excerpts from a good piece about Governor Gashole by columnist Bill White in the Allentown Morning Call.

http://www.mcall.com/news/local/white/mc-bill-white-contest-20110422,0,4716385.column

"In my column the other day, I mentioned a fictitious bumper sticker: "Don't blame me, I voted for Onorato."

A couple of readers asked me where they could get one. Dave Lutz of Salisbury even offered his own: "Gov. Corbett: We Got What THEY Paid For!"

This gave me an idea. How about a contest to come up with the best Corbett bumper sticker? I launched this on my blog and I've already gathered some excellent entries. If you send your entries by mail, I'm at The Morning Call, P.O. Box 1260, Allentown 18105.

I got things started on my blog by offering "Corbett: Naturally Gassy," "The Edukashun Governner," "Severance Tax, Schmeverance Tax" and "Corbett: Making New Jersey Look More Appealing."

Other entries to the contest:

My well may be polluted but at least I didn't vote for no librul

I voted for Corbett because I like the taste of arsenic

Corbett: Frakking our children's future

The bad news:Fracking will give me cancer. The good news:I can power my lawn mower with my tap water!

Here is the blog link for the contest:

1. I assume the brain dead teabaggers also commented?
Shame Corbett, Koch, and all their buddies will never allow you (teabaggers) into their club no matter how much you suck (on them)
