Related: About this forumMSNBC's Chris Hayes - "Corbett is my dark horse choice for worst Governor in the country"
http://www.nbcnews.com/id/52168305/#.Ut6df_tOlkgOn his MSNBC show, Chris Hayes recently said:
"All of this is the result of something that took place a
little more than a year ago when Pennsylvania`s Republican Governor Tom
Corbett, who is my own dark horse pick for maybe the worst governor in the
country, along with the GOP-controlled House of Representatives, cut
statewide pre-K through 12 education budget by $961 million. A 12 percent
cut in education.
And I bet you can guess what part of the Philadelphia community will
be disproportionately affected by school closings. Black students comprise
81 percent of those who will be impacted by the closures and 93 percent of
kids affected are low income.
Meanwhile, Governor Corbett has no money for schools. He fished under
his cushions and found the cash to build a $400 million prison complex in
suburban Philadelphia. And that`s on top of the $1.8 billion corrections
budget already signed by Corbett. When it comes to Pennsylvania`s budget
winner: the Department of Corrections all the way."
