We need energy; fossil fuels are the most reliable source; Pennsylvania has them in abundance; so why is 124th Legislative District candidate Tina Burns waging war on the very resources we need?
Burns recently attacked fracking companies for not paying a severance tax. She seems to be unaware that they pay an impact fee that has generated more state revenue than her proposed tax would have. It’s already very expensive to do business in Pennsylvania, but she would double tax them, increasing prices and driving them out of the state.
She then demonizes her opponent, Jamie Barton, for having worked in an HVAC/energy company for 30 years, providing the fuel, heating and cooling services the community needs.
We need candidates like Barton in the 124th who understand our energy needs.
