Bob Casey’s staunch opposition to the Republican tax cut is becoming more indefensible by the day as Pennsylvanians continue to see pay raises and bonuses as a direct result of the plan’s passage.
Dunmore’s Fidelity Bank announced that it paid a $1,000 bonus to all full-time employees earning less than $100,000, and a $500 bonus to its part-time employees. Fidelity joins other Pennsylvania companies including Comcast, PNC, American Bank and Accuweather that have announced similar bonuses, as well as pay raises, infrastructure investment and charitable giving, after passage of the tax cut. For all of the dishonest rhetoric from Casey and his liberal bosses in Washington, it’s clear that Pennsylvania workers are among the biggest winners under the Republican tax plan.
“Bob Casey tried his hardest to derail the Republican tax cut, even though it was clear the plan would put more money in Pennsylvanians’ pockets,” said NRSC Spokesman Bob Salera. “Pennsylvania voters won’t forget that when Casey had the chance to fight for them, he turned his back and voted with his liberal party bosses.”
