Drill Baby Drill

It's all they care about.

PITTSBURGH - Gov. Corbett signaled Friday that a new transportation-funding bill is not a top priority for his administration this year and questioned the effect of proposed new fees on the state's brittle economy.

In remarks after a speech to the national Waterways Symposium, Corbett said that he would "take a look" at any transportation bills proposed this year but that they would battle for attention with measures on school vouchers and Marcellus Shale regulations. He said transportation might have to take a backseat, especially because the legislature's current session is only half-finished.
