Nice piece. Our wounded economy is under direct attack by our out-of-control government. Just heard author, Ms. Anderson, interviewed on WGRC. Thanks for getting the word out.

Shirley,

We've put the annual expected contributions for pensions in future years in a spreadsheet here http://www.commonwealthfoundation.org/research/detail/pennsylvania-pensions-and-taxes (page 2).

We may try to put something together which combines all of these costs, if this all passes.

Now that we retirees are completely terrified concerning future taxes in this state, can you break all of this down to yearly figures per household? How hard will we be hit?

Glad to see some of the issues are being addressed. How about illegal aliens? There are an estimated 200,000 in Lancaster county alone. Once again the tax payers are being burdened. This is not a time for "political correctness" this is a time for survival. If Reid, Pelosi, Obama, and the rest of the far left have there way, we will be one socialized world entity. I want my AMERICA back. Get out of my house.
