Reply to comment by MrSchaudenfreude in New year, new gas tax hike in Pennsylvania (headline) by 106473

I looked this up because I'm not a native of PA and have only been living here since 2016. So when a friend of mine brought this up a few days ago and I asked him how long that's been he said that it only passed 5 or 6 years ago...so I was wondering why I had never heard of it. Sure enough my Republican friend simply did not want to admit that it was a Republican governor who signed this into law.

You want to see something interesting about PA. Look up who controlled the state house, the state senate and the governors office, for the past 30 years. Look at how many trifectas each party had and for how long. Trifecta being the party controls all 3. When your republican friend carrys on about how they don't like how PA is running, or it's laws you will know why.

I'm pretty up to speed on it as I moved here a few months before the November elections in 2016 but I hadn't heard of the gas tax law until he mentioned it...so knowing his politics I had to look 😆
