This is Pennsylvania Governor, Tom Corbett...Republican Governor of the state I hail from...
I heard recently that a bill was placed before him that had in it... Provisions to increase funding for the cash strapped Philadelphia Public School System..Which had to close 28 public schools in mostly Black and Latino areas of the city last year and lay a smal, amount of teachers and Non Teaching Assistants off in order to balance the budget..
They also had to cut some after school programs too....
So when presented with a bill to increase funding to the still cash strapped school system..I heard that he balked!!!
He balked at the thought of signing it...
This fall come election time ,If he dares show himself in Philadelphia..I too will balk
at the idea of voting for his re-election...
In fact,I'll damn near laugh that he had the audacity to ask for a vote from anyone in the state's largest city.
