Demos Promise Voters a Lot About Taxes
Democratic chairman David Lawrence warned Pennsylvanians they would hear a lot about taxes as the campaign unfolds. He cited a state action boosting value of 23,121 Commonwealth workers and urged tax relief while vowing a fight over Lackawanna County’s Congressional vacancy after Patrick Boland’s death. Lawrence said the GOP would face court action to deny John W. Murphy’s nomination, calling the move a jab at Hitler. Nominees for State House seats were named for several districts, with vacancies in Philadelphia, Delaware, Erie and Union counties, and a Sept. 18 deadline for all vacancies.
