Harrisburg’s culture of corruption

Harrisburg’s culture of corruption

We are the fifth most corrupt state in the Union. Why are the Democrats ignoring corruption in government? Want to win friends and influence voters? Take whatever actions necessary to eliminate the existing culture in Harrisburg.

Taxpayers are disgusted with the “good old boys and girls” helping themselves to our money. Put political party aside and work for the good of the citizens instead of your Republican or Democratic affiliation. Or are you “public servants” afraid of where any investigation might lead?

And congratulations to both parties for that nice big pay raise you just received. When it comes to helping yourselves to our money, you show us that you can work well together. There is no division or animosity at that time. I cannot think of one incumbent for whom I would vote.
