State Rep. Ronald G. Waters
(D-W. Phila.) is calling on
the Senate to pass the Mar-
cellus Shale tax and says imple-
menting the tax should be a top
priority before the end of the year.
Waters said the Marcellus Shale
tax would help to close the State’s
current budget deficit and relieve
some of the burden on individual
taxpayers.

22 OCTOBER, 2010 THE PHILADELPHIA DAILY RECORD | 3
Yesterday, Gov. Ed Rendell de-
clared the natural-gas tax “dead” as
negotiations with Senate Republi-
can leaders stalled.
“The State was counting on $70
million in severance-tax revenues
to fill a deficit when it received
less Than expected in a Federal
stimulus-extension bill in August,”
re[ports the Pennsylvania Inde-pendent.
“If we pass this tax, we would be
able to generate much-needed rev-
enue for the state where we would
not have to continue to make
deep, drastic cuts to services that
some of our most vulnerable citi-
zens need. These include educa-
tional programs, senior citizen
services, health programs and
other human services,” Waters
said. “Every year we have to make
cuts to these programs, yet we do
not require rich oil and natural-gas
companies to pay their fair share.
Does this make sense?””
The Marcellus Shale is one of the
biggest natural-gas fields in the US
and Pennsylvania is becoming a
leader in natural-gas extraction.
“Pennsylvania is one of the 32
states in the nation that produces
natural gas and it ranks 15th in
total production. The Marcellus
Shale deposit alone reportedly
holds 50 trillion cubic feet,” Waters
said. “There is almost an unlimited
amount of wealth that can be de-
rived from this natural resource by
big oil and gas companies; Penn-
sylvania could practically be con-
sidered the Saudi Arabia of natural
gas. However, Pennsylvania is the
only state with significant extrac-
tion activity that does not impose a
severance tax or conservation fee
on the big companies drilling for
natural gas.”
Waters maintained, “The Marcellus
Shale natural-gas extraction in our
state will mean major profits for
the investors, and could yield bil-
lions in revenue at a time when our
social-service programs are in
jeopardy. I see nothing wrong with
asking these people with deep
pockets to step up to the plate. As
legislators we need to be more con-
cerned about protecting the inter-
ests of our citizens before the
profits of big business.”
“We successfully passed it out of
the House of Representatives with
bipartisan support,” Waters said.
“Some people are more concerned
about the environment than any-
thing else. This tax could be used
to fund the Dept. of Environmental
Protection, which has oversight.”

USSen. Bob Casey
was joined by
Kathleen Sebelius,
Secretary of the US Dept. of
Health & Human Services; Dr. Ar-
lene Ackerman, superintendent of
the School District; Sarah Mar-
tinez-Helfman, executive director
of the Eagles Youth Partnership;
Timothy McKenna, principal of
Furness HS; and Leonard Weaver
from the Philadelphia Eagles for a
pep rally to connect more of
Philadelphia’s children and youth
to health insurance.
Casey invited the group together to
come to Furness to discuss new
initiatives underway to connect
kids to coverage in Philadelphia
through a focus on health coverage
as a key to success in school, ath-
letics and beyond.
“Good health is critical to a child’s
success inside and outside the
classroom; yet thousands of kids in
Pennsylvania often go without
needed health care because they
are uninsured,” said the Senator.
Said Sebelius, “No student should
have to miss school, or miss out on
sports and other activities because
they’re not getting the care they
need to stay healthy. That’s why
I’ve issued the Connecting Kids to
Coverage Challenge, and today
with the Eagles Youth Partnership,
Public Citizens for Children and
Youth and the School District of
Philadelphia all stepping up to the
challenge, we see that Pennsylva-
nia is leading the way in the fight
to get kids covered.”
Ackerman stressed the importance
of the Children’s Health Insurance
Program, calling it “a critically im-
portant resource for those families
who do not qualify for Medicaid
health coverage and cannot afford
private coverage.”
Casey was a strong supporter of
the law that expanded CHIP, which
was signed into law in February
2009. CHIP began as a state pro-
gram in Pennsylvania when it was
signed into law by the Senator’s fa-
ther, Gov. Robert P. Casey; it be-
came a model for the national
program that now provides health
care coverage to more than 14 mil-
lion American children.
At the event, the Eagles Youth
Partnership accepted the Secre-
tary’s challenge, making them the
first major athletic team to do so.
They will support the outreach and
enrollment challenge through the
Eagles Eye Mobile, which aims to
increase the number of children
who receive vision care.
As of September 2010, Philadel-
phia County has 28,261 children
enrolled in CHIP. Pennsylvania
has an 85.9% participation rate in
CHIP and Medicaid, compared to
81.8% nationally. However, Penn-
sylvania has one of the largest
numbers of eligible but uninsured
children (129,000 out of 5 million
nationally).
