Reform activist Eric Epstein, writing at his Capitol Domes blog, is not happy Pennsylvania, especially under Gov. Ed Rendell, is continually stepping in to bail out failing companies and out-of-work politicians.From Epstein's latest post:
Political patronage is as old as the state. Now we're bailing out campaign contributors. Gov. Doesn't-Make-Any-Sense has no problems baling out millionaires who contributed to his campaign.Read the full post, "Pa.'s new state motto: Nothing Succeeds Like Failure," at Capitol Domes
Pennsylvania needs to:
1. Seriously consider instituting a law banning state employment, contracts or bailouts for campaign contributors over the term of the office of the recipient; and
2. Institute and enforce a period between when the electorate fires a legislator and the same person can accept state employment, contracts, or bailouts.

Eric can we institute a period in Montco where election loosers can't be hired by the minority commissioner and his lackey?
