Lawmakers should suffer too

We finally have a state budget. And it's pretty much pain all down the line. It's tax hikes , spending cuts , shuffling money from one program to another, and various accounting gimmicks.

yes, and in retrospect,All lawmakers who were responsible to pass a budget, should be penalized by losing their entire salarys for the entire time the state went without a budget,....from the gov. down. In the workingman and womans world that type of irresponsibility would have been cause for dismissal from ones job without any reprieve.

I agree. I wrote my reps, have you?

I'm doing my part - any Pennsylvania Legislator who voted "YES" for this over-bloated budget, enjoy your remaining time in office - I'm voting "NO" next time you come up for re-election in my district....

Same thing goes for our legislators in Washington regarding the "Heath Bill" Cap & Tax" and so on....

Like Obama said - "Change, you can count on it".
