An Associated Press article in the Times-News today reported on the likely agenda of the Pennsylvania General Assembly's upcoming nine-day session, concluding it with this statement: "After all that, lawmakers will need a break." Then they'll go on a three-month holiday "break."
Just the facts please!
Pennslvania legislators don't need anymore breaks. They're nearly the highest paid in the country, with the highest perks anywhere, which they wildly abuse; the largest legislature in the nation with twice as many members as the commonwealth needs per capita; twice as many staff persons as they need who spend most of their time campaigning for the reelection of their employer; have granted themselves and their families the finest retirement and medical benefits anywhere, and only meet in session two or three days out of the week when they're not out on a "break."
They don't have to worry about health benfits or high gas prices because the taxpayers pay for them all through an exhorbitant health program legislators designed for themselves, and auto travel allowances they voted to give themselves. Give ME a break!
