Don't look now, but we believe Gov. Tom Corbett got one right.
The governor threw down a gauntlet last week when he signed the budget, but promptly cut out about $72 million in operating expenses and pet projects of the Legislature.
Yes, that would be the same two bodies that are controlled by his own Republican Party.
He was irked by members of the GOP ignoring his call for pension reform and heading home for the summer. He wants them to come back to Harrisburg and work on it. I hope he's not holding his breath.
In effect, Corbett is waging war on the GOP. Which might not be that bad an idea given his standing in the polls.
But the truth is the pension question is that important.
Here's our editorial on it, and the governor's testy relationship with the Legislature.
