Rep. Brad Roae

The majority of voters support photo ID for voting, selling the liquor stores, and reducing the size of the Legislature.

I wonder if the movie 2016 will be shown at all the places that showed Michael Moore documentaries, Gas Land, etc. Or will they censor?

Drove in Demo Derby at Spartansburg Fair last night. Had a blast! 14 cars in my 6 cyl class. About 5 cars lasted longer than me.

Driving in demo derby was absolute thrill. About half the cars eliminated before me. It was great hitting and getting hit.

Demo Derby 6 cylinder class at Crawford County fair is in about 45 minutes. I am driving 1994 Buick Regal.

Today in Harrisburg we had a public hearing on four of my bills to keep PASSHE tuition affordable. Lower costs means lower tuition.

We need to evaluate if DCED helps or hurts businesses. I asked them to reconsider the ban on free brochure displays at rest areas.

The PA DCED will not allow local tourism sector businesses put their brochures at the I79 rest area unless they pay a fee to the state.

Why does PASSHE call the 3% tuition hike "less than inflation" when the May 2011 - May 2012 inflation rate was 1.7%?

Many PASSHE professors earn over $100,000 a year to teach 12 credit hours? Should their kids keep getting FREE tuition to age 25?

Should PASSHE let 7% of their professors on paid sabbaticals at any given time? Or should a 3% tuition increase pay for stuff like that?

PASSHE is raising tuition 3%. 80% of their budget is salaries and benefits. Could $100,000 professors teach more than 12 hours a week?

Happy Birthday America.

Passed General Appropriations bill yesterday. $27.7 billion. Spending is lower than 2008 spending level. No tax increases.

Education Committee hearing just ended. Should students at the worst 5% of PA schools be allowed to change schools? Funding follow kid?

I'm at U.S. Rep. Kelly town hall meeting. Rather than letting him answer questions people submitted, some are shouting and yelling. Rude.

Passed welfare bill. Cracks down on fraud, requires some drug testing, gives Welfare Department ability to change programs to save money.

The main budget bill, the General Appropriations Bill, just passed. And it's not even July!

I just went to the bill signing for the Fair Share Act.

The Republicans all voted yes to fund the state related colleges like Pitt, but the Democrats voted them down.
