Governors Race: Election Day, November 4th, 2014

November 4th is a pivotal day every two and four years. The 2014 Pennsylvania governors race is the hot debate, especially for a small town college town. It seems as though change is coming as many students, faculty and others will turn to the polls to vote democrat Tom Wolf into office and give current governor, Republican Tom Corbett the boot. In these videos, Joe Lofton a war veteran, VFW officer and former Slippery Rock physics and chemistry professor Dave Taylor discuss why Tom Wolf is needed for Pennsylvania. On the contrary, Susan Oliver discusses why Tom Corbett needs to stay in office. Lofton and Taylor support future governor hopeful Tom Wolf because they feel that Corbett's education cuts have really hurt Pennsylvania students and teachers, citing that $1 billion dollars was cut as well as 27,000 teachers fired. Susan Oliver believes the answer is not taking more taxes from people and giving it to others, and believes that taking money from other people is wrong. Also, she believes Corbett will keep taxes low. Either way, this year's governor election will be very important to those in Pennsylvania as many are fed up with how Corbett has handled the budget and his term in office. Voting hours in Slippery Rock township run from 7AM to 8PM so voters have all day to go out and vote. Either way, this election proves to be an important one for not only Slippery Rock township members, but Pennsylvania as well.
