Campaign Finance Reform I am co-sponsoring House Bill 50 which mirrors federal campaign law in placing contribution limits on municipal and statewide candidates in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is currently one of only 12 states with no limits on campaign contributions, allowing too much potential for special interests to influence elections. Public officials need to be accountable to voters, not large campaign donors.
Dan writes that Harrisburg is broken. I believe that Mt. Lebanon is broken. Zone 1, which includes Virginia Manor, had the highest count of deer killed on private property. As I have said repeatedly, I am not rich enough to hate deer. Then we have those pushing for more toxic turf fields. I am too poor to want toxic turf fields too. Our commissioners seem to respond to special interest groups only or those who can contribute to political campaigns. Remember this? And this?
We definitely need to get behind House Bill 50.
