This was a record week for me in Harrisburg where I interviewed a bunch of people for confirmation by the Senate. I had 3 Parole Board nominees, 2 PLCB nominees, 2 PUC nominees and the nominee for Insurance Commissioner stop in to my office. It’s a wonder I got much else done. I finished up staff evaluations today. As I said before, I have been blessed with good people. The Senate Appropriations Committee put out a bare bones budget today. With all of the games being played right now, this is a pretty straight forward, no tax, no gimmick plan. I’m anxious to hear the reaction to it. I introduced a bill today that requires a super majority of 2/3rds vote of the General Assembly to pass a tax increase. This is another component in the war against higher taxes and higher spending.
