Gov Corbett has allowed Fracking companies to drill on PA land with out facing taxes, he even suggested they drill on college campuses; and has tried to implement legislation so these companies can drill in state parks. If that doesn't bother you then check out Gov Corbett's Budget Deal. Over 900million was cut from education, many teachers/education staff have been laid off due to this. It has gotten so bad, one school had sheep come in to cut grass rather then hiring maintenance to cut it.
Not only does Gov Corbett support the Voter ID bill, he now wants to change the way Pennsylvania Votes. The new change would mean less electoral votes for PA. This also means the popular vote won't be the winning vote, this new change will be taking away the "winner takes all." For example in Pa Obama had 21 electoral votes. If this new change was in affect then, Obama would only receive 11 out of the 21.
I personally feel all votes should be counted for and if the majority votes for one person that person should win.
