Governor Ed Rendell is feeling heat on a number of fronts, with a budget crisis, having to deal with a rumored extramarital affair, and now his strong-arm tactics with a Democrat lawmaker who is reticent to approve Rendell’s proposed wellhead severance tax on Marcellus Shale gas.
Last week, Rendell severed the head from a Tim Solobay bobblehead doll and sent it to the Washington County representative with a hand-written note pressuring Solobay to vote for the tax. Rendell says it was all in fun and he’s used humor such as that in the past, but it’s worn thin with lawmakers…Representative Sam Smith’s spokesman, Stephen Miskin, says it’s “sickening”.
