Community groups gather to "veto" Corbett budget

Project HOME, SEIU, the South East Pennsylvania Budget Coalition, and other groups are gathering at the Bellevue Hotel right now to "veto" the governor's budget, which they say "threatens the future of Pennsylvania's middle class and economy."

Quoth the press release:

Community members will sign their names to a “veto” document to register their outrage at corporations that are not paying their fair share of taxes and forcing state budget cuts that will devastate school programs, eliminate jobs and cut critical services.  The group said that Pennsylvania’s children and middle class could have been spared close to billion dollars in cuts if rich, out-of-state corporations paid their fair share of taxes to the state.
