Down size the PA state Legislature?

[Keystone Phil]

The State House can appear to be too big but it's fine. The Senate is perfect. Not only would it be bad for us politically to down size but it would probably hurt our state government, too. Keep it as is (which I'm sure they'll decide to stick with in the end).

By any chance, does anyone have a link to a list of state reps voting record on the pay raise. My local paper had it a few weeks back, but I lost that info.

Back to the subject, I think something that many are missing is that having so many Representatives actually helps the community. I know that in NE Philly, people feel very close to their State Rep. With fewer Reps, the connection would be lost.

AWWW... I'm really feeling for them.  TOUGH SH!T!  I know you are referring to those rotten hacks that sneaked in during the Reagan era and haven't left since plus Perzel and Charlie Dougherty who sneaked in during the Josh Eilberg scandal in 1978. 

I love how they "sneaked" in. I love how you call them rotten hacks, too. People like O'Brien and Taylor are some of the most least partisan people in all of state government. You're so clueless it hurts to point it out.

I'm calling them hacks because they park themselves in there for 3 decades and don't want to leave for someone else or for a promotion.  They are the poster boys for term limits.

I refuse to see that as a reason to call someone a hack and a few of them might be looking for a "promotion" in a few years, anway.
