Clips with Breakfast: Corbett's performance gets poor reviews
January 9, 2012
Here's some reading material to enjoy with breakfast as Gov. Tom Corbett continues to take lumps for his performance.
It's easy to punch holes in a memo of Corbett accolades (Times Tribune, Op-ed) On paper, Tom Corbett is the best governor we Pennsylvanians have elected in decades - maybe ever.
