PA Shale Gas Tax?

Not surprising, given the economy.  Pennsylvania's governor is continuing to look at taxing locally-produced natural gas,with an eye towards gas produced from the Marcellus Shale according to this article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.  "He'd like to see a tax structured like the one in West Virginia -- imposing a 5 percent levy on the value of the natural gas that's sold, plus an additional 4.7 cents for each 1,000 cubic feet of gas produced."

[Update:  No wonder.]
