Emporer Ed Rendell (governor of PA) announced he wanted to raise gas prices one penny per gallon to pay for the cost of replacing old tanks (at the gas stations??)

Well, once we found out about it, we SWAMPED his office with calls.

My husband called in at 3:30 this afternoon and he was told that they had already scrapped that idea.

Hehehehe.

Score another one for Americans!

The emporer's going to be wearing new clothes AKA prison garb if he doesn't back off his stupid plans. His other ingenius idea is to place tolls on Interstate 80, but only in northeastern PA (think Hazleton!!). It's like he is acting on some vendetta against Hazleton for the IIRA, since he wants to make US pay for the whole state's tolls.
