PA DEP Outlines Plans for Spending Carbon Tax, Admits RGGI Hurts People
Wow, look how far the Pennsylvania Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) has fallen under Gov. Tom Wolf and his subservient lackey Pat McDonnell. The DEP yesterday announced the release of "equity principles to guide investments through Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative." Translation: Here's how we're going to waste (i.e. "invest") all of the $2.36 billion we'll raise through the RGGI carbon tax, and here's how we'll "help" those we're screwing with the carbon tax. Of course, those who will pay this insane tax include each and every resident and business in PA that uses electricity. In other words, everyone. You'll ALL get soaked with this new tax. Observe what Wolf has done to your gasoline taxes in PA and apply that to electricity--that's what's coming your way if RGGI is implemented.
