On the Issue Of PA's Budget Impasse




From The Philadelphia Daily News:

New data developed by the National Conference of State Legislatures show Pennsylvania first among states in legislative staff (2,918) despite being sixth in population.

Caucus officials put the number at 2,609, but that might not include paid interns or part-timers. Either way, it's more than 10 staffers for each of our 253 lawmakers.


The Pennsylvania Legislature(note both parties) and the Governor need a counselor to settle their differences. To do otherwise is like the Iranian Hostage Crisis.
