Is there anyone, including the pathetic blockhead who uttered it, who believes that transparent lie?

Republicans who control the chamber unveiled their plan to close a $2 billion hole in the $32 billion state budget late Wednesday. It includes a mix of taxes and borrowing.

The proposal would borrow $1.3 billion against Pennsylvania’s annual share of the 1998 multistate settlement with tobacco companies. It would also introduce a new severance tax on Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling.

Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman emerged from closed-door talks Wednesday night to announce details of the GOP’s plan. He says the severance tax is expected to raise about $100 million each year.

The gas industry has long resisted a severance tax, saying it would harm the state’s competitiveness. GOP leaders have long rejected such a tax.

Gas drillers currently pay an impact fee, which is distributed among the state government and local communities where drilling takes place.

Corman also revealed new or higher taxes on consumers’ natural gas, electric and telecommunications bills. Corman says the new taxes will raise a total of about $550 million per year.

The United Arab Emirates is singled out in the report. In state media, the Emirates had said it knew the boat was a civilian vessel. If Emirates naval forces were in the area, the panel said, they could have helped the wounded or seen who attacked them. They did not help, nor did they cooperate with the panel when it requested information, the panel said

The attacks on the city have claimed many civilian casualties among the tens of thousands who are still trapped in areas controlled by IS.

The Observatory said 29 people, including eight children, were killed in airstrikes on the city on Wednesday. The activist-operated Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently group said 36 people were killed and more than 50 wounded in airstrikes and shelling of Raqqa.
