PA Gov. Wolf Vetoes Bill that Would Block Obscene RGGI Carbon Tax

The Pennsylvania legislature recently passed a resolution against joining the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) carbon tax and sent it to Wolf, who had promised to veto it (see PA House Votes to Reject RGGI Carbon Tax, Gov. Wolf to Veto). Yesterday the bill hit Wolf's desk and he wasted no time in stamping it with a big, fat veto. The legislature likely will not have enough votes to override the veto because Wolf extorted Democrat legislators to support it, threatening to withhold money in their districts if they don't support it (see PA Gov. Wolf Extorts Democrat Legislators to Support RGGI Carbon Tax).
