Pa. Senate Republicans Vow This Time They'll Enforce 'Fiscal Responsibility'

The Tribune Review: The Senate Republican Caucus will be an "aggressive watchdog" of Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell's policies as he starts his second term and presents his fifth annual state budget Feb. 6, Majority Whip Jane Orie said.

I wish Senator Orie well on this attempt, and I hope that her colleagues support her in this effort. Obviously, this was not the case in the past.

The Senate and House Republican leadership has consistently pealed off enough Republican votes to pass Governor Rendell’s 1st term goals. These included a double-digit personal tax increase, the approval of slots, and the borrowing of $1 billion of additional debt.
