Some people are on top of the world, some people had a very rough week. Check em out in this week’s Ups & Downs.
We wanted to bring you this bit of followup about the folks who have to walk that line between Tea Party and GOP. Here’s how the statewide candidates did at PLC.
Bob Casey has $2.3 mil, Fayette Co gets a casino, Davidson explains her graphic comments, and Toomey writes a budget. Check out the buzz.
To the list of states already regretting their new Republican Governor you can add Pennsylvania: Tom Corbett has only a 34% approval rating to 44% of voters disapproving of him, according to PPP.
Yesterday State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler) has introduced a bill to require candidates for President and VP to prove their “constitutional eligibility” to run for office in PA. Today, PA Dems sent out a fund appeal hoping to capitalize.
Republican attacks against Senator Bob Casey’s record on energy are inaccurate and misleading, according to a spokesman for the Senator.
Deputy Chief of Staff Larry Smar told PoliticsPA, “Senator Casey thinks that greenhouse gas emissions pose threats to public health and the environment, but he wants to be sure that the concerns of manufacturing states like Pennsylvania are addressed — especially during an economic recovery.”
Senator Casey has a solid $2.1 million cash-on-hand, the result of an impressive $1.1 million fundraising haul in the first quarter of 2011.
Today marks PA Rep. Lou Barletta’s 100th day in office. The congressman has spent his time actively supporting efforts to cut federal spending to help alleviate the national debt. “My goal is to change the culture of Washington,” Barletta, R-Hazleton, said.
Lackawanna Commissioner Corey O’Brien has all but ruled out a congressional run in 2012, citing his desire to continue his work in the County and to stay near his family.
Stopping short of an apology, Davidson says she used graphic language because of her deeply personal background with gun violence. Her brother was shot by a robber at point-blank range.
