Senator Richard Alloway.. A Follower Not a Leader

Those of us living in the 33rd Pennsylvania legislative district
apparently should be overwhelmed by the contribution of our newest
"representative" to the Pennsylvania elite in congress. Well not
really. Mr. Richard Alloway was elected to serve as Senator replacing
long standing Terry Punt in Central PA

Have you even heard his name mentioned? Heard a comment from him on
the hardships of his constituents? Maybe you've been listening to his
heartfelt and passionate speeches on the house floor in reference to
the issues of the day? or his drillings of the Governor for an
unpassed budget!- No??? well there's a reason for that. Since joining
the legislature as a freshman lawmaker he has shown himself to be a
follower and not a leader.

When recently asked pointed questions about his contributions to
Pennsylvanians an in response to the obvious PRO-ACTIVE reflection of
Representatives Dan Moul and Wil Tallman; Mr. Alloway could only
muster a few CYA answers and here they are:

What is your position on the ever increasing overreaching federal
government on the lives of Pennsylvanians?

"I have signed on as a co-sponsor to Senate Resolution 51 - A
Resolution claiming sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States over certain powers, serving notice
to the Federal Government to cease and desist certain mandates;
providing that certain Federal legislation be prohibited or repealed
and directing distribution." - BIG DEAL

What have you done to further the end of the property tax fiasco.
"One of the first bills I cosponsored this year would eliminate the
property tax burden once and for all. The property tax is one of the
most unfair and universally despised taxes of many district residents,
and I have cosponsored legislation that would allow the people to
replace the property tax through a voter referendum. I also sponsored
legislation that would eliminate the inheritance tax (also known as
the ?death tax?), and I cosponsored a bill to reduce the
self-employment tax."

What are you doing to prevent the catastrophe in York of the loss of
Harley Davison and its 2500 constituents who would be drastically
effected?
"As far as Harley Davidson, I vote to keep taxes low so businesses
will stay in PA. In addition, I will continue to support reduced
spending and no increase in the Personal Income Tax."

Co-Sponsor, Co-Sponsor, and finally a paraphrase.. "I'll do just
enough to get re-elected" - Mr. Alloway I think its time you
recognized the example of Dan Moul and Wil Tallman and stop Co-Sitting
behind your desk and start leading! You might have been elected for 4
years but that doesn't mean you get to vacation for 3 of them.
Leaders Mr. Alloway; that's what Pennsylvanians need.
