Toomey v. Torsella: Limited Government v. Big Government

Joe Torsella’s
funding base is litany of Status Quo Democratic Establishment Insider Network of No Bid Contractors and Big Government Porkers.- the Pension Bomb is not discussed much but State contribution goes from ½ billion to something like four billion in 2010. That is the Rendell Network’s legacy to people of Pennsylvania. They have kicked the crushing tax hike, which pulls productive investment out of the productive economy and uses it for pensions for people who have been promised pensions. A real dilemma and Gov Rendell and his team have ignored it.
At federal level, we can expect Joe Torsella to support the unprecedented expansion of debt.
Gov. Ed Rendell is on the list. So is Susan Rice, the Ambassador to the United Nations. Ditto Rhonda Cohen, the wife of Comcast executive and political bigwig David Cohen. Big-money names from Philly like Ken Jarin, Arthur Makadon and Peter Buttonweiser all make appearances. Restaurateur Stephen Starr is thrown in for good measure.
All gave money to Democrat Joe Torsella’s nascent Senate campaign.
Torsella has never held elected office, losing in his only attempt at a Congressional seat in 2004. But his career—from Philadelphia Deputy Mayor to National Constitution Center CEO—has yielded a well-documented list of political connections.
