- Rep. Bill DeWeese, D-Greene, officially introduced his proposal to legalize table games in PA casinos and Senators Tommy Tomlinson, R-Bucks, and Robert Mellow, D-Lackawanna, plan to introduce a similar bill in the Senate.
- Sen. Joe Scarnati, R-Jefferson, the Senate President Pro Tempore, stated that he is considering them as options.
- Rep. Doug Reichley, R-Lehigh, wants to use table games to support teachers’ pensions.
All of this on top of Governor Rendell’s proposal to legalize video poker machines in bars and taverns around the state to fund secondary education.
Where does the greed end? How many Pennsylvanians will we need to lose money to support all of these plans? Building our budget on the backs of our fellow citizens seems like a pretty foolish idea.
What do you think?

Emily,
Nothing more than quick fixes that never seem to "pay out." Instead of cutting spending, the Dems cut into our pockets. When will the people wake up? A complacent society leads to apathy. Guess what? We're done !!! If people will tell their reps to sign onto HB 1275 SPTEA at least School Taxes won't burden us or our homes directly. Go to www.PATAXTALK.com to find out more.
Please blog about getting SPTEA passed.
Regards
