Now let's start a petition for a voter's referendum to change the state constitution to reduce the size of the state legislature to 160 ( 50 senators and 110 representatives).

It is unbelievable that Pennsylvania has no such law, and even more unbelievable that only 161 people have cared enough to sign this petition. It speaks to the cynicism our crooked election system has bred among the electorate. We have come to believe that no real change is possible. I believe change is possible, but only if the voters show the poititions a revolving door at each election.

Also drastically reduce number of state cars and per deiums; pass budgets on time or no pay for legislators and governor; drastically reduce number of legislators.

The more members of PA legislature we have, the more bad behavior we are sure to have. We need to many fewer people in our legislature and all of them part time and with term limits.

The culture of entitlement and privilege that permeates the General Assembly is very difficult to comprehend from outside those hallowed halls.
