Gov. Tom Wolf’s plan to tax the state’s natural gas is ill-advised, in my opinion. Natural gas is added to the country’s pool of natural gas, much like the electricity grid. I have been getting my electricity from the state of Texas for years because it is among the lowest in the country. Pennsylvania’s natural gas is among the lowest in the country. Taxing the gas will result in less corporate income taxes coming from the northeastern portion of the state as well.
