Why nothing changes in Harrisburg

Tired of the lack of accomplishments by Pennsylvania lawmakers? Voters have themselves to blame.

If you're wondering why nothing changes in Harrisburg, here's an interesting fact reported by The Associated Press: 10 state senators and 85 state representatives face no opposition in the April 24 primary election, and the other 133 districts will in most cases be contested only in November. Just four sitting senators and 28 incumbent representatives have an opponent in the primary.
