Issues

Transportation plan

In November 2013, Roae announced that he intended to introduce legislation to repeal a gasoline tax increase in the $2.3 billion transportation bill passed by both houses of the Pennsylvania State Legislature. Roae said, "If there is a lot of public outrage like there was with the pay raise, it may get repealed,” in which he was referring to a 2005 legislative pay raise vote that caused a voter backlash in both parties. "If there is not, people will just smile and pay hundreds a year more in higher taxes and higher fees," he said.^[2]
