“Secretary Tom Wolf won’t go into detail on many of his plans, but what we do know is that he wants to take more of Pennsylvanians’ hard-earned money because he thinks he knows how to spend it better than they do,” said Communications Director Chris Pack. “Even as Tom Wolf does everything he can to pay less, including incorporating his own company in Delaware, he’s calling on middle class Pennsylvanians he views as ‘rich like him’ to pay more so he can appease the liberal special interests funding his campaign. Pennsylvania simply can’t afford Tom Wolf’s tax-hike agenda.”
