Counterpoint PA's JournalPA's Worse: Dem Gives Pitiful Excuse for Fracking Deregulation Vote [VIDEO]
This is a video from my show Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.
In this edition of Counterpoint PA's homage to Keith Olbermann, the Worst Pennsylvanians of the Week, the bronze goes to Democratic state Senator Vincent Hughes for voting to pass a bill out of committee that would give the fracking industry the same liability immunities for using abandoned mine drainage (pretty nasty stuff) to frack that volunteers get for trying to clean it up and giving an embarrassingly bad reason for doing so. In my commentary, I address my issues with his excuse both on the merits and in terms of his capacity to get campaign donations from the fracking industry.

Corporate Tax Cuts Revealed as Root Cause of PA Budget Deficit [VIDEO]
This is a video from my show Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.
In this video, I share and explain some details from a briefing paper by the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center that show how corporate tax cuts in the state over the past decade have been a root cause of Pennsylvania's budget deficit, along with some help from some handy graphs that were part of the report. I end with a bit of my own commentary on those who say we don't have the money for education and other budget priorities yet continue to spend more and more on corporate tax cuts every year.

Progressive Victories on Fracking & Voter ID from PA Courts [VIDEO]
This is a video from my show Counterpoint PA, the only grassroots progressive newscast exclusively about Pennsylvania politics.
In this video, I explain recent Pennsylvania court rulings on voting rights and environmental rights that are significant victories for progressives in the state. The first comes from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which struck down one of the most egregious parts of the state's fracking law that allowed corporations to frack virtually anywhere and blocked municipalities from using local zoning laws to stop them, and the second comes from Commonwealth Court, which ruled that the state's voter ID law is so harsh it amounts to voter disenfranchisement. I offer some of my own commentary on conservatives' record of pushing hard for and vociferously defending these laws and how progressives can use that to their advantage.
