Pennsylvania’s fat cat state legislators are certainly thinking about it. Republican leaders are realizing that their unconstitutional pay hike isn’t sitting well with their voters: Senate Majority Leader Chip Brightbill has found a 17% approval rating in his district, and Senate President Bob Jubelirer has sunk into the 20s in his district, the Lancaster New Era reports.
Their solution? Repeal the unvouchered expenses, still well short of a complete repeal. Apparently they still don’t understand the problem.
Check out my article on these legislators’ threats against conservatives organizing against them.
