Harrrisburg’s Hawk: Representative Sam Rohrer
He’s one of Pennsylvania’s best-known conservative state lawmakers, and the State Capitol’s most persistent tax reformer. In floor debates, when Majority Leader Bill DeWeese (D-Greene) paints word pictures about the ideological makeup of the Chamber, it’s Representative Sam Rohrer (R-Berks) who frequently fills in the right side of his rhetorical canvas.
As the quiet organizer of a band of free market activists, Rohrer has been the point in a series of bruising battles to eliminate and replace school property taxes. While none of the wide-ranging proposals have earned a governor’s signature, his tenacity has fueled a growing grassroots movement committed to gutting and replacing the current homeowner-dependent method of funding public schools.
Those who cross swords with Sam find that on this issue or any others, his battles are never personal or partisan. Friend and foe agree that Sam Rohrer’s hawkish agenda has more to with family and faith, than a secret plan to capture the Speaker or Governor’s chair.
