First off, allow me to clarify that when I refer to dumb, I'm not referencing the inability to speak, but rather not being blessed with intelligence. I first made that observation when he appointed Pat Browne as Revenue Director. Browne's NIZ is an unlimited private subsidy on the back of taxpayers. For Shapiro to cite Lehigh Valley as a showcase of success, testifies as to his cluelessness.
Shapiro's team handed out little gift bags with slogans printed on them. Assorted useless bureaucrats praised his plans, which supposedly will not raise taxes :)
Meanwhile, back at the pump, Pennsylvanians enjoy one of the highest gasoline taxes in the country. I wonder if the Governor noticed that Rt. 22 has never been widened through the valley, thanks to his Pat Browne instead wanting a new exit for a developer's warehouse park.
I'd like Josh to prove me wrong, but in the meantime I'm not hopeful.
Its all about the money, it is one thing that is definitely bi-partisan.
ReplyDeleteHey Michael,
ReplyDeleteIf you want to experience frustration! Try contacting someone to talk to in the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue (Director Pat Browne’s new venture).
Spent 1 HOUR and 26 MINUTES on hold until I could talk to a human/ representative about an issue I was having reporting Sales Tax.
These government officials LOVE to run around giving their little speeches and handing out gift bags with cutsy slogans written on them. “At Tax-Payer Expense !!!
By the way… what was in your bag??
Believe it or not (please check the media), the new slogan is
Delete"Get Sh-t Done"
NO WAY!!!!!
DeleteYou can’t make this SH-T UP!!!!
Well, the Department of Revenue is a real Sh-t show
It should be simple put, Lipstick on a Pig or Chalk and Paint making a taint what it ain't gender specific!
