  • Voters Support Corbett on NCAA Lawsuit, Still Down on Him Overall
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 7, 2013 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Voters support Corbett on NCAA lawsuit, still down on him overall Raleigh, N.C. – Pennsylvania voters support Tom Corbett's lawsuit against the NCAA...but it's still not doing much to improve his overall political fortunes. 52% of voters support Corbett's lawsuit against the NCAA over its sanctions against Penn State, while 34% are opposed to it. That's a reflection of the fact that 62% of Pennsylvanians think the sanctions against the school were too strict, compared to only 27% who think they were 'about right' and 8% who think they were too lenient. 49% of voters in the state consider themselves to be fans of the Nittany Lions, and among those folks there's 63/23 support for the lawsuit. Despite the support for Corbett on the lawsuit, voters are still unhappy with his overall handling of the Penn State situation over the last few years. Only 27% approve of the way he's dealt with it to 50% who disapprove. That's contributing to overall approval numbers that continue to be very poor- only 38% of voters are happy with the job he's doing to 52% who disapprove. We tested Corbett against 8 potential opponents for reelection in 2014, and he polls at only 40-42% against every one of them. The only one he actually trails in a head to head is his predecessor, Ed Rendell, who would start out with a 46/40 advantage were he to attempt the comeback.

    _ ______ A An Update on P Environmental _ Issues in Environment Digest Pennsylvania Edited By David E. Hess, Crisci Associates August 25, 2008 PA Environment Digest Video Blog Coalition: Budget Leaves Farmers Behind, Nutrient Trading Vital – Video Blog While the budget adopted by the state in July included major new funding to improve wastewater infrastructure, it did little to address the needs of farmers required to meet state and federal clean water mandates or to create a Nutrient Credit Trading Bank that would lower the cost of meeting the mandates, according to the Pennsylvania Fair Share for Clean Water Coalition . Representatives of the Coalition, including the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, Pennsylvania Municipal Chairs Hanna, Hershey Authorities Association, Pennsylvania Builders Association, Chesapeake Bay Foundation and the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, presented testimony today to the House Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee during a public hearing on farm conservation funding needs at Ag Progress Days near State College. Rep. Mike Hanna (D-Clinton) serves as Majority Chair of the Committee and Rep. Art Hershey (R-Chester) serves as Minority Chair. Video Blog: Reps. Hanna and Hershey Introduce Hearing “Federal and state clean water mandates require both wastewater plants and farmers to reduce nutrient pollution running in Pennsylvania’s rivers and streams,” said Matthew Ehrhart, Pennsylvania Executive Director of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. “While we were pleased the Fair Share Coalition was able to secure funds for infrastructure upgrades, we were very disappointed the Governor and General Assembly did not provide any new help for Pennsylvania’s family farmers, especially given the fact that agriculture is one of the largest sources of impairment to local rivers and streams." “Farmers have been hard at work reducing nutrient runoff over the last 25 years,” said Ehrhart.

    Introduction CeaseFire Pennsylvania 1 is the advocacy arm of CeaseFirePA, Pennsylvania’s leading gun violence prevention organization. We seek commonsense legislative reforms to reduce gun violence, stop the flow of illegal guns into our communities, and keep guns out of the hands of those who should not have them. We proudly work with mayors, police chiefs, and local, state and federal elected officials along with more than 40,000 citizen activists in cities and towns across Pennsylvania. For more information about our mission and accomplishments, please visit www.ceasefirepa.org . CeaseFire Pennsylvania wants the public to know where the candidates for Governor stand on the issue of gun violence prevention. We sent a questionnaire to each official candidate in the gubernatorial primary to be held May 20. The questionnaire was designed to assess the candidate’s position on commonsense gun violence prevention measures and the level of importance each candidate attributes to reducing gun violence. Nineteen specific proposals were presented to the candidates. These proposals are based on judicial rulings about permissible regulation of firearms and ammunition and laws that other states have enacted in working to stem the flow of illegal guns and reduce gun violence. We analyzed the responses, and have prepared this Voters Guide, just as we did during the 2010 gubernatorial campaign. Four candidates 2 – all Democrats -- submitted responses – Rob McCord, Katie McGinty, Allyson Schwartz, and Tom Wolf. Their responses are provided and analyzed in this report. Significantly, each of the responding candidates expressed strong support for important gun violence prevention measures. Schwartz and McGinty unequivocally supported every proposed measure; McCord supported 84% of the proposed measures, and Wolf supported 79%.

    _ ______ A An Update on P Environmental _ Issues in Environment Digest Pennsylvania Edited By David E. Hess, Crisci Associates April 2, 2007 PA Environment Digest Video Blog York Town Meeting on Funding Farm BMPs Attacts Nearly 50 Participants Nearly 50 people came to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s town hall meeting in York to discuss how Pennsylvania can encourage farmers to install best management practices on farms through the proposed Resource Enhancement and Protection Act (REAP). So far over 200 people have attended local town meetings sponsored by the Bay Foundation to educate farmers, watershed groups and other interested citizens on this important issue. Also attending and giving remarks were Sen. Mike Waugh (R-York), a sponsor of the legislation, Rep. Ron Miller (R-York), York County Commissioner Doug Kilgore (D) and Gary Swan, PA Farm Bureau. This year Pennsylvania’s legislators have an historic opportunity to reduce pollution, protect the Commonwealth’s waterways and strengthen our economy by giving farmers better tools to reduce nutrient and sediment runoff. REAP, a bipartisan initiative introduced first as House Bill 100 by Rep. Stern (R- Blair) and Rep. Daley (D-Washington) and as Senate Bill 690 by Sen. Brubaker (R- Lancaster), Sen. O’Pake (D-Berks) and Sen. Mike Waugh (R-York), would give farmers tax credits of up to 75 percent of the cost of installing best management practices like forested stream buffer, stream fencing and other measures. Video Blog: Rep. Stern Talks About Challenges Faced by Farmers, REAP "I applaud the REAP initiative because it will be a benefit to both farmers and the environment," said Vice Chairman of the Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, Sen.

  • Pennsylvania Gov Gets Bad Scores, Trails Schwartz, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Gambling Is Good, but No More and Not Here, Voters Say
    Tim Malloy, Assistant Director, Quinnipiac University Polling Institute (203) 645-8043 Rubenstein Associates, Inc. Public Relations Contact: Pat Smith (212) 843-8026 FOR RELEASE: DECEMBER 18, 2013 PENNSYLVANIA GOV GETS BAD SCORES, TRAILS SCHWARTZ, QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY POLL FINDS; GAMBLING IS GOOD, BUT NO MORE AND NOT HERE, VOTERS SAY Pennsylvania voters give Gov. Tom Corbett a negative 36 – 53 percent approval rating, his worst net score ever, and say 56 – 36 percent that he does not deserve reelection, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. This compares to Gov. Corbett’s negative 35 – 48 percent approval in a June 7 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University, when voters said 52 – 32 percent he does not deserve reelection. Today, Corbett gets negative grades of 31 – 58 percent from women, 42 – 47 percent from men, 16 – 75 percent from Democrats and 35 – 53 percent from independent voters. Republicans approve 61 – 27 percent. As the 2014 election year begins, U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz leads Corbett 45 – 37 percent. Matchups with other possible Democratic challengers show: State Treasurer Rob McCord with 42 percent to Corbett’s 39 percent; Corbett over former State Public Utility Commissioner John Hanger 42 – 37 percent; Former presidential advisor Katie McGinty over Corbett 44 – 37 percent; Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski with 41 percent to Corbett’s 39 percent; Former State Auditor General Jack Wagner over Corbett 48 – 36 percent; Former State Department of Revenue Secretary Tom Wolf over Corbett 44 – 37 percent. “Pennsylvania voters deliver a big bag of coal to Gov. Tom Corbett and directions to the State House exit as he heads into the holidays with the worst net approval rating he has ever had,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
