- Roads to ruin without severance tax
-
Pennsylvania has a responsibility to employ best management practices for its resources and taxpayers now and for future generations. Someday, the gas will be gone but our responsibilities will not. A fair share tax on Marcellus gas drillers will ensure the Commonwealth does not come to a dead end.
- Defrocking electric deregulation's cheerleaders
-
It's time for deregulation's cheerleaders to acknowledge the flaws in the electricity market and cooperate for real solutions instead of pretending everything is fine or blaming customers for being too lazy or too ignorant to shop.
- Lies, darn lies and the Internet
-
If the truth will set us free, then the cottage industry of misinformation will keep us in shackles and high dander.
