MILLIONAIRE SECRETARY TOM WOLF SAYS PEOPLE LIKE HIM “SHOULD PAY MORE” IN TAXES, BUT HIS TAX RETURNS SHOW HE PAYS MUCH, MUCH LESS

HARRISBURG, PA – As the first installment in the “Millionaire Secretary Tom Wolf Hypocrisy Tour,” the Corbett-Cawley campaign today exposed the hypocrisy surrounding Secretary Tom Wolf’s income tax hike proposal. Wolf justifies the income tax proposal by saying wealthy Pennsylvanians should be paying more in taxes, but Wolf’s own tax returns show that on average, he pays a considerably lower tax rate than the average taxpayer.

Coal mine closing to slash 500 jobs in Greene County

“With the loss of 500 coal jobs in Greene County, Secretary Tom Wolf is one step closer in his promise to make coal ‘a thing of the past.’ It is a true shame that Secretary Tom Wolf doesn’t care about the 62,000-plus jobs supported by Pennsylvania’s coal industry, or the higher electricity rates that will result from his and President Obama’s war on coal. Maybe affordable electricity and an honest job supported by our coal industry isn’t important to an out-of-touch millionaire like Secretary Wolf, but it is for the rest of us.”–Communications Director Chris Pack

Capitolwire: PA ranks 10th best school system overall in national survey.

"When you peel back the layers of empty rhetoric and lies being told by Secretary Tom Wolf and his public sector union cronies, you’re left with the truth – and the truth is that Pennsylvania’s public school system is one of the best in the country. Governor Tom Corbett increased state education funding by $1.46 billion to now-historic levels, so it should come as no surprise that this study finds that we spend more in education per student than a vast majority of the country. The next time millionaire Secretary Tom Wolf and his public sector union cronies lie to the 12.7 million people of Pennsylvania, perhaps they should consider the facts."

CORBETT-CAWLEY CAMPAIGN SAYS SECRETARY TOM WOLF'S PLAN JUST DOESN’T ADD UP

HARRISBURG, PA – The Corbett-Cawley campaign today called on millionaire Secretary Tom Wolf to provide the specific details regarding his special energy tax proposal. Wolf’s plagiarized Obama-style Fresh Start campaign plan is severely unbalanced and relies on revenue from a special energy tax that does not come close to adequately covering Wolf’s spending proposals.

Municipalities defend Act 13 impact fees

“Millionaire Secretary Tom Wolf and his PA False Start cronies are proudly advocating for the elimination of Governor Tom Corbett’s local impact fee that has provided over $630 million from the natural gas industry to local municipalities for vital projects such as sewage systems, public safety, parks, tax reductions and regional planning. Secretary Tom Wolf wants to replace the local impact fee with a severance tax that would instead pump that money into Harrisburg’s coffers so that he can continue refusing to address our pension crisis to appease the public sector unions who have already given Wolf $1.13 million in donations to keep quiet. Mr. King says it best when he says that if you get somebody in office that wants to do the severance tax, counties that are affected are going to see a lot less money. Our local communities just can’t afford the tax-and-spend policies of millionaire Secretary Tom Wolf.

Editorial: Full transparency by Wolf can silence critics

"It's very simple - millionaire Secretary Tom Wolf is a hypocrite who is trying to deceive the 12.7 million people of Pennsylvania through his fancy campaign ads. Even business experts agree that the only reason for Wolf to keep his company in Delaware is to avoid paying his fair share of Pennsylvania taxes as he simultaneously calls for higher taxes on other Pennsylvania businesses. Wolf needs to just go ahead and release his corporate taxes from 2006 to 2014 like he said he would and put this issue to rest."
