Editor,

What's going on in Pennsylvania?We were supposed to get rid of property tax a few years ago. It never happened.Casinos were to help. But most of the money goes back to lure better entertainment (races or stuff).Gas tax was supposed to fix infrastructure. Whose pocket is that going in?Now they want to raise a lot of other taxes.Are they trying to get rid of the middle class?The price of medicine is going through the roof.The price of food will go up due to weather-related problems.We were told early in 2016 that Social Security would only give a very small increase in 2017.Now many people I know are being cut.We worked and paid for many years (including raises). Now we're taking a cut. Why? Why not raise what you take out of the workforce like you did before. What is the reason for hitting those who are retired and can't work?Where are our representatives in this government?Or are their pockets being filled with blood money from us? Let's see if you print this in your paper.I remain,Robert (Ski) SiesputowskiSummit Hill
