On Energy & Oil: Severance tax on natural gas is common sense

Pennsylvania is one of the few states fortunate enough to have abundant natural gas resources. And yet we are the only one of those states without a severance tax. And let's understand exactly what a severance tax is. It's a tax paid by people mostly outside of Pennsylvania to use our natural resources. And by failing to put in place this commonsense tax, we're actually just paying other states' taxes.

On Technology: Infrastructure investment attracts business

Over the last three years, we've repaired or rebuilt 1,600 bridges, and more than 18,000 miles of roadways. And over the next decade, we're going to invest $2 billion more in rebuilding roads, highways, and bridges across our Commonwealth so that our people can get to work and our products can get to market. Businesses don't invest in states that don't invest in education, infrastructure or job training.
