Audio from Dan Onorato's news conference at the Pennsylvania State Capitol on Sept. 1, 2010.
From PA Independent: Democrat gubernatorial candidate Dan Onorato pledged Wednesday to not raise three of the state’s largest revenue-raising taxes if elected governor, but other taxes, including the natural gas extraction levy, are still on the table.
Speaking at the state Capitol on Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Onorato said he would not consider raising income taxes, sales taxes or gasoline taxes on Pennsylvanians. He said the next governor will need to focus on cutting spending rather than new revenues, but refused to fully rule out increases to smaller taxes – including the state’s litany of license and user fees.
