I don't follow your logic here. Are you suggesting that PA should tax the gas industry or should follow Delaware's lead and make the state more attractive to businesses to locate here?

Think it through.

First, almost every state in which the gas industry is running is taxing them. Mainly to support the infrastructure revolving around that industry. So taxing the gas industry is nothing new, but NOT taxing it pretty much is.

Second, Delaware charges no income tax on corporations not operating within the state, so the gas industry would still be taxed anyway. By your 'increasing tax revs' I assume you're referring to employees, but the industry has to pay for itself as well.

That explain my logic?
