Corbett's AG Budget Increases

Tom Corbett, current state Attorney General and Republican candidate for governor, has been saying he wouldn't raise taxes if elected. His Democratic opponent, Dan Onorato has been pointing out that as Attorney General Corbett asked for more money for his department, which would seem to conflict with his promise of not increasing spending.

Some of these claims are examined in "Onorato, Corbett and the 13% solution," by Tom Murse 9/09 Lancaster Online. This is a really interesting and well-researched article. It turns out that Onorato's claim that Corbett asked for a 12% increase this year was wrong. It was actually 13%.

Hmmmmm ......
