Pennsylvania State Governor and Republicans lie to general public about budget school funding


Governor Tom Corbett and his fellow Republican leaders are saying that through the new 2011-12 budget, school districts are receiving more funding, when in fact there are no increases from 2010-11, only decreases. There is an overall 854,063,700 million dollar total school funding loss, which is a 13.5% decrease. But Tom Corbett is telling Pennsylvanians that those numbers don't exist, instead, he and his colleagues made up a lie that there is more money given to school districts. Very soon teachers are going to start being laid off, property taxes will start increasing and school taxes will start increasing, and by that time it will be too late. We can't blame the republicans for this, we have to take accountability for our actions and blame ourselves. We are the ones that elect these Republican liars into office, or we don't vote at all, and then complain about the new policies they make! We need to come together and tell them we will not stand for this anymore, and the only way we will ever be able to do that is to vote the right way next election!
