What do Pennsylvanians think of this?

The following question appears on the upcoming PA general election ballot in glorious governmental prose.

“Do you favor the incurring of indebtedness by the Commonwealth of $400,000,000 for grants and loans to municipalities and public utilities for the cost of all labor, materials, necessary operational machinery and equipment, lands, property, right and easements, plans and specifications, surveys, estimates of costs and revenues, prefeasibility studies, engineering and legal services and all other expenses necessary or incident to the acquisition, construction, improvement, expansion, extension, repair or rehabilitation of all or part of drinking water system, storm water, nonpoint source projects, nutrient credits and wastewater treatment system projects?”

Can anyone explain why the PA gov’t has to borrow money to pay for this instead of cutting spending in other, less important areas? Why do they need to borrow money when taxes are so high?


The problem is not that they need to cut in other areas, the question is why they were not putting money aside for this all along. A dime on each utility bill for the last thirty years and all this would be paid. They only have two options, borrow the money or raise utility rates, which they have to do to pay for it. Ask any politician, there are NO less important areas. But borrowing money sounds better than raising taxes, even though it is still taking our money.
