Democrats Admit Wolf’s PA Severance Tax Goes as High as 20%

A diverse coalition of industry and business groups has come together, led by the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, to oppose PA Gov. Tom Wolf's disastrous idea of a severance tax on the Marcellus Shale industry. The coalition has just launched a very effective television commercial. How do we know it's effective? The Democrat PR machine (i.e. PBS's StateImpact Pennsylvania) writes about the commercial and shows a screen shot of the Youtube version of it--but they don't embed the Youtube version so you can actually watch it . Don't worry, we embed it below. PBS can't have anyone actually watch the thing for goodness sake! That might actually sway a few people. Amazingly, we do get an admission from the Democrats at StateImpact that if the price of natgas remains low in PA, Wolf's severance tax actually zooms up to 20%--not the 5% he claims it is. Looks like somebody at StateImpact didn't follow instructions to let the governor's office review the story before it was published. Oh oh...
