Wagner Would Take PA Back To Billion Dollar Cuts To Schools
Scott Wagner is already ceding a glaring weakness in his record. After announcing for governor last week, Wagner was back in Erie today attempting to gloss over his policies of crippling public education.
“Today’s trip was a cynical attempt by Harrisburg politician Scott Wagner to distract voters from his plans to take us back to the days of billion dollar cuts to education,” said Preston Maddock, Pennsylvania Democratic Party spokesman. “Wagner has been working in Harrisburg to undermine the very schools he used as a publicity stunt today in Erie.”
