In my day job at the Chronicle of Philanthropy, we gave birth today to our latest podcast series, Philanthropy This Week.

We need to remember what Ronald Reagan said: “The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.”

		<description><![CDATA[Faced with a $3.2 billion deficit, Gov. Ed Rendell is proposing a &#8220;temporary&#8221; hike in the state income tax to bridge the gap.
I don&#8217;t have to tell you the conventional wisdom about raising taxes during a recession. 
I also know that it&#8217;s difficult to make $3.2 billion vanish from the state budget.
So what&#8217;s the answer?

While many complain about the cost of doing business in Erie, the rating service has actually calculated that business costs in Erie are about 7 percent below the national average.
