The Harrisburg legislature is broken and tax payers aren't getting their monies worth.
The Harrisburg legislature is broken! We, the taxpayers, pay our legislators $21 million in salaries alone, not including vacation pay, health insurance, committee pay, per diems, office expenses and retirement; and get almost nothing in the way of legislative work in return. In total, we are spending approximately $50 million dollars annually for a handful of bills that are passed into law .
In truth the standing rules cede all power to six individuals. The six gatekeepers are: the Committee Chair, the Majority Leader and Speaker in the House and Senate. Unfortunately, the system serves to ensure that most bills are feckless or extremely partisan. The system is designed such that contentious bills that are meaningful cannot get around a despotic committee chair.
