Hold on to you wallet. The most expensive state legislature in the United States is back in session.
Fresh from a two-month vacation, the Pennsylvania Legislature reconvened for its fall session today. The Legislature is expected to work another nine to 16 days this year before taking a two-month holiday break.
So what important legislation is on the agenda today? Property tax reform? Fixing the state's deteriorating roads and bridges? Health care for the state's uninsured? Reforming what many observers consider the most corrupt state government in the country? None of the above.
The state Legislature is looking at changing he state's dog laws today.

One other thing to look for in the next few weeks: More Bonusgate indictments.
Coincidentally, the grand jury that recommended charges against 12 people connected to the House Democratic Caucus over the summer also reconvenes today.
