The main electorial issue in Pennsylvania is the attempt to replace Governor Tom Corbett. Corbett was elected with the huge financial assistance of the gas drilling (and fracking) industry. Corbett ran in 2010 promissing to keep the drilling in Pennsylvania by not over-regulating or over-taxing the industry. The end result of a state totally controlled by Republicans was no severance fee for natural gas and almost no regulations on the drilling industry.
