HARRISBURG – Tom Corbett for Governor Campaign Manager Mike Barley released the following statement on Pennsylvania Treasurer Rob McCord’s entry into the 2014 gubernatorial primary:

"Rob McCord joins a crowded field looking to throw our Commonwealth into reverse by pushing the same failed tax-and-spend agenda that left Pennsylvanians with a $4.2 billion budget deficit and double-digit unemployment."

“Governor Corbett is the only proven candidate in this race committed to fiscal responsibility and lower taxes, and Pennsylvanians will move forward with his successful ‘More Jobs, Less Taxes’ agenda that has helped create over 130,000 new private sector job opportunities. By right-sizing government and making more efficient use of the resources we have, Governor Corbett is helping to put Pennsylvania back to work.”
