So just another liar

Josh Shapiro’s 11 biggest campaign promises through his first year. See how he did

Promise: To lower costs for consumers, Shapiro promised to eliminate an 11% sales tax on cell phone services and enact a $250 gas tax refund for every personal passenger car registered in the state for up to four cars per household.

Status: Shapiro has not been presented with a bill that would adopt these goals.

Promise: Pennsylvania has one of the highest corporate net income taxes — paid by businesses that are headquartered in the state and based on their total profits — in the U.S. Shapiro wants to lower the state’s CNIT to 4% by 2025 to attract more businesses to the state.

Status: In his budget address, Shapiro said the state needs to continue lowering the CNIT. He didn’t include a formal pitch to do so in this year’s budget proposal, however, simply laying out a timeline that the state had enacted in 2022, which is set to lower the tax to 4.99% by 2031.

Promise: On his campaign website, Shapiro said he would raise Pennsylvania’s 2030 target for renewable or clean electricity production from the current goal of 8% to 30%. Status: Shapiro has not been presented with a bill that would adopt this goal, though such legislation has been introduced in the state House and Senate.

Promise: Shapiro said he would put Pennsylvania on track to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

Status: According to the Department of Environmental Protection, greenhouse gas emissions in Pennsylvania come primarily from three sectors: industrial manufacturing, transportation, and electricity production.
