Protecting the Environment
(from the government)
• Hold Polluters Accountable
• End Pay to Pollute Programs
• Protect Private Property
By holding polluters accountable instead of taxpayers, we can attract more nonpolluting businesses to the Commonwealth, increase prosperity, increase jobs AND protect the environment. Preserving our environment should be a top priority for all Pennsylvanians. I will lead a charge to shut down our government’s own trash importation and toxic discharge businesses. Currently our government makes money with a wide range of pay-to-pollute programs, then they expect taxpayers to foot the cleanup bill for polluted land, water and air.
By protecting our private property rights, we can hold polluters accountable instead of tax payers and attract clean business to our state. Pennsylvanian’s want to preserve the environment. Let’s let them do it. Instead of paying for another failed industrial bailout or agricultural welfare scheme, Pennsylvanians should be free to invest in the parks or conservation projects of their choosing. We don’t need to filter our charity through Harrisburg bureaucrats.
