AAJ: Only Two Pa Senators Post Expenses

Above Average Jane has scoured the web pages of all 50 Pennsylvania State Senators, and reports that only two of them - Sen. Rob Teplitz (D-15) and Sen. Lloyd Smucker (R-13) - bother to list their expenses. And these are the folks who are gonna' ban gifts.

  1. It all starts at home if if this current elected group of politicians, #FAILS to enact real reform, shame on any voter who votes for their re-election!

    The time has come to end gift giving that truly influences the votes of Corporate America and ignores the true majority.

    Middle American's that is!

  2. What about Browne and Boscola?

  3. Browne is too busy drafting legislation for his childhood friends and doing tax returns on the side so it's not important enough to him. In other words, he has better things to do with his time.

    Boscola, too busy hanging at the county club to even care!

  4. I know this is off-topic for your post, but you usually keep us up to date on Obamacare developments. Perhaps, your legal problems (with which I sympathize) have kept you from doing this as the law has achieved its stated goal of 7+ million sign-ups. So I invite you and your readers to read a very well written post by your fellow blogger Rich at Broad and Pennsylvania:

  5. Actually the original goal was higher and downsized when they realized they'd never make it. And you are off topic.}

  6. Should not be any gifts, this is an act of impropriety. Their taking of any gift can turn into whatever you want. NO! This acceptance of gifts are viewed as bribes. There should be question about this issue,period.

  7. If fact the reason some folks would not elect me to be a DICTATOR is because I would have unscrupulous types hung from bridges with signs on their necks that say; I STOLE FOR YOU in the public trust./and all the family assists would go back to the tax payers. Vote for me. OLD PETER!

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
