Democratic gubernatorial nominee Dan Onorato slammed his opponent Attorney General Tom Corbett at a press conference today. “Tom Corbett stood in Lancaster last week where 21,700 people are currently unemployed and he said ‘the jobs are there but if we keep extending unemployment people are going to sit there’ as though they don’t want to go back to work,” Onorato stated. “My opponent thinks that the only thing wrong with the economy is that Pennsylvanians are lazy and they don’t want to work, he’s simply wrong. 591,000 unemployed Pennsylvanians would like to know: where are all these jobs? Tom Corbett has insulted the hardworking men and women of Pennsylvania who are looking for work in these tough economic times. Tom Corbett has proven that he doesn’t have what it takes to be governor.” Check the PLS Capitol Toolbox later today for the full story.
