PA Senate Fails to Override Wolf Veto of RGGI Carbon Tax Bill

Yesterday the Pennsylvania State Senate failed to override a veto of Gov. Tom Wolf of a resolution that would have stopped PA from entering the so-called Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), an obscene carbon tax scheme. The override failed by a single vote. Wolf's patsy, Dept. of Environmental Protection Secretary Pat McDonnell, gushed that he was "pleased" with the failure of the override. What happens now? A lawsuit lingers that can still block RGGI, but if that doesn't work, PA residents will begin paying MUCH higher rates (a new tax) for their electricity beginning July 1st.
