Column: Does Tom Wolf Have the Right Stuff to be Governor of PA?
http://www.philly.com/philly/news/politics/20130826_Does_Tom_Wolf_have_the_right_stuff_.htmlGood article about Central PA. businessman Tom Wolf, who is a Democratic candidate for PA. Governor.
Excerpt:
"His bottom line is that all policy is based on "fairness."
He talks of altering school-funding formulas to end "huge discrepancies" among districts; refocusing economic development on statewide infrastructure such as high-speed rail instead of individual projects; securing the social safety net so children don't pay for "the sins or inadequacies of their parents," and cutting the Corporate Net Income Tax by 60 percent with "everyone paying."
(The 9.99 percent CNI is the highest flat rate and second-highest marginal rate in America, but 73 percent of companies - more than 74,000 - don't pay it.)"
