Republican Candidate for PA Gov. Pledges Repeal of Wolf Carbon Tax

| | | |
Jason Richey
The long, drawn-out (exhausting) failed tenure of Tom Wolf as governor in Pennsylvania will be over at the end of 2022 (limited to two terms, thank God). On Nov. 8, 2022, Pennsylvanians will elect a new governor. We've been telling you for years that PA's corrupt Attorney General, Josh Shapiro, will run for the Democrat nomination. Shapiro is anti-shale energy. What about on the Republican side? We had hoped former PA House Speaker Mike Turzai would run, but he left for greener pastures last year (see Sad Day: PA House Speaker Mike Turzai Quitting Next Monday). An early favorite on the Republican side recently sprang up--Jason Richey, a self-described blue-collar resident of Allegheny County and a Pittsburgh law firm partner. Richey has promised to overturn the RGGI carbon tax on Day One if he's elected governor.
