Gov. Corbett gets that most people think he's an asshole, but thinks folks should be directing their ire at former Gov. Ed Rendell. Turns out his reasoning is mostly bullshit, but is that really a surprise? (Poconos Record)
The Philadelphia Public School blog points out that the proposed budget would cut 20% of its budget, and while funding would be cut by approximately $1500 per student or about a million per school, other school districts, such as Radnor, would only suffer a cut of $700 per student (The Notebook). Allentown has passed a budget that would cut class electives and 250 staff from its school district (ABC News). At a rally in Bethlehem to protest Corbett's proposed budget, cries of 'recall' were heard (The Morning Call).
In other news, Corbett has made it as hard as possible for the state's Department of Environmental Protection protect PA residents from the natural gas industry (Pennsylvania Progressive) And no matter what he's doing to the school, he's increasing the budget of The Department of Corrections by $13.5 million dollars (Pocono Record). But don't worry, Philly has been named 'Sandwich City' by some gourmet magazine!!!! (Inquirer)
