Corbett Unveils Priorities



Governor Tom Corbett is focusing on the second half of his term.
 
During a Pennsylvania Press Club luncheon on Monday, the Republican governor says he focusing on unfinished business including transportation funding, pension reform and the privatization of liquor and wine sales.
 
Corbett also says he does not plan to change his inner circle of advisers, even though his hand-picked 2012 candidates for U.S. Senate and state attorney general were both defeated.
 
The Governor says he remains concerned about action in Washington that could worsen Pennsylvania's budget problems and says the state cannot absorb the cost of any expansion of the Medicaid program.
 
Corbett says he also worries that failure by Congress to resolve the "fiscal cliff" issue could disrupt the nation's economy or even cause another recession.
