Shapiro's budget overspent, was unbalanced & counted on non-existent revenue sources.

@GovernorShapiro & @PaHouseDems were willing to pass that overspending on to PA'ians in the form of a $2100 tax increase.

@PASenateGOP also found $4.5 billion in unused funds

All Show No Go

PA Senate Republicans negotiated and passed this budget. It is a complete contradiction to blame them and then clap for the budget that you, in fact, voted for. 🙃

[PA Senate Democratic Caucus @PaSenateDems]

As Republicans in Harrisburg and Washington, D.C. turn their backs on struggling Pennsylvania families, Senate Democrats, @GovernorShapiro and @pahousedems remain laser focused on addressing the issues important to Pennsylvanians.

@nwgiannini That's all fine. When we don't have the blue mark on here it can be rough.

[Michael Straw @MDStrawPSU]

@nwgiannini Fair, but I think it's worked fine in most other counties that have this model and I'm fine with going this route.

[Michael Straw @MDStrawPSU]

@nwgiannini They aren't unelected seats. People vote for & elect people to them. Or are the people in nearly 60 other counties also "not really" electing people in your view. You do have to work to win a seat, nothing is guaranteed. Only that one party won't control more than 5 seats.

[Michael Straw @MDStrawPSU]

@nwgiannini Yeah, I prefer requiring minority party representation. It's the right call, and when I lived in a county that required it, I saw a better managed and less polarized county government. The real question is, why are you so bothered by this proposal?

[Michael Straw @MDStrawPSU]

@nwgiannini All the other counties do have a minority party represented in county gov't, though. That can't be disputed, it's fact. There are different variations, certainly, but that's still true in the other 66 counties.

[Michael Straw @MDStrawPSU]

@nwgiannini At-large seats like most of the other counties. Like Allegheny and Philadelphia. That's how most county commissioners are elected as well.

[Michael Straw @MDStrawPSU]

@nwgiannini Furthermore, all the County Democrats have stated over the years that they wanted minority party representation and felt it would be a good thing. So what's wrong with it now? Nothing, because it's commonsense for oversight & checks & balances.

A response to recent misleading posts by the @PaSDCC.

[PA Senate Republican Campaign Committee @PA_SRCC]

First there’s the dishonest impersonation of an elected official. Plus, an embarrassing follow-up post. What a swing & a miss!

Whoever is in charge of @PaSDCC X will be a good reminder this 4th of July that our country’s basic rights include freedom of speech, even dumb speech.

The stakes have never been higher.

Securing majorities in our state legislatures is critical to shaping the next decade of American politics.
