The Pennsylvania legislature is even more dysfunctional than the U.S. legislature. After all, the U.S. Congress is divided between the Republicans and Democrats, while both houses of the Pennsylvania state legislature are under Republican control and Governor Corbett is a Republican as well. They do nothing. Well, not nothing. They get their photos in the local paper and pass a resolution to display “In God We Trust” in classrooms.
Allentown Morning Call columnist Bill White recently wrote about the strange phenomenon of voters complaining about government but then voting for their own representative. Think about that. If voters blame the other legislators for the stalemate and inability to reform, and they all vote for their own incumbents, we will end up with the very same legislature.
That won’t work. Throw the bums out.
