This is the part we can’t get our heads around. @PAGOP controlled both House & Senate & couldn’t find a way to pass top priorities of PA farmers, local governments, farmers, firefighters, @PARSS2go, @LancFarming, @TroutUnlimited. Who DO @PAHouseGOP & @PASenateGOP represent?

#MondayMotivation In 2021-22 session @PALegis sent 310 bills to Gov. Wolf's desk to be signed. Top priorities of @PACountiesGR @PAFarmBureau @PAMunicipalLeag @PAFarmBureau @PSBA were ignored. MD legislature passed more than 2x that # in just 1st 3 months of 2023. #FixHarrisburg

During Speaker @RepRozzi's Listening Tour, PA voters gave examples of important legislation stalled by individual legislative leaders. On Feb. 27, #PAHouse will vote on rules for 2023-2024 session. For the sake of all PA, we're asking for better rules. #FixHarrisburg

In football, you wouldn't let the players also be the referees. So why let politicians draw their own voting maps?🤔 ➡️America, it's time to #EndGerrymanderingNow and establish fair #redistricting! #SuperBowlLVII #SuperBowl #fairMaps

Why isn't @PaLegislature listening to the needs of the people? Few bills pass. Almost none from the minority party. How is this a government of, by & for the people? Committee chairs have too much power. Better legislative rule can lead to a fair, functional govt. #FixHarrisburg

At final session of Speaker @RepRozzi's Listening Tour, @FairDistrictsPA Chair @CKuniholm explained how PA inequitable school funding first led her to pay attention to @PaLegis & join @LWVPA. PA's school funding model has cost us all for far too long.

An open letter on gerrymander reform Dear Mr. President, I’m writing to express my concern regarding an existential threat to democracy – partisan redistricting, commonly known as gerrymandering – and to urge a federal course of action to mitigate this injustice. 1/21


FairDistrictPAButler reposted

Do regular people want better rules in both #PAHouse & #PASenate? We do. We object to committee chairs who acts as petty tyrants, object to good bills blocked year after year, object to bundled constitutional amendments. We are paying attention & we're just getting started.

Another view of @RepRozzi’s first listening tour event. On a sloppy January night with a few day’s notice. Do the people if PA care that Harrisburg is broken? We do. A lot. It’s time to #FixHarrisburg.

Why do legislative rules matter? Good rules allow #BipartisanSolutions a clear avenue toward passage. For decades #PAHouse & #PASenate rules have allowed leaders to block bills their wealthiest donors don't like. Concerns of average PA voters go nowhere. fixharrisburg.com/_files/ugd/70e…

PA has onerous taxes, fragmented local govt, outdated laws. Bipartisan commissions & advisory boards regularly proposed legislation to address this. Legislators ignore #BipartisanSolutions yet suggest with @SB1 they can do a better job. #FixHarrisburg

As @bflood717 reminded us at #FixHarrisburg rally: PA regulatory process requires public input. PA legislative process ignores us completely. Let the people decide? Let's try it. Public input. Public hearings. Expert testimony. Transparency. Start there before vote on @SB1.

Current legislative rules in PA legislature provide no incentive to work together, & ensure voters priorities rarely get a vote. Result: lawmakers distracted by partisan games instead of bills to better the lives of people of PA. Vote on new rules: Jan 3. cityandstatepa.com/policy/2022/06…

2010 "mad as hell" PA Grand Jury said @PALegis operates under system that is "irretrievably broken." Their report recommended partisan caucuses not be given large sums of money to be spent at discretion of their leaders. Recommendations were ignored. upi.com/Top_News/US/20…

Rep. Cutler moved over $50 million from various accounts into Speaker's account then it to @PAHouseGOP leaders' accounts. He says "the money was accumulated by Republicans & although it’s taxpayer money, Republicans have control over it." abc27.com/this-week-in-p…

#Election2022 results made clear that PA voters want leaders able to offer solutions for a majority of Pennsylvanians. There's still time for @PAHouseGOP @PaHouseDems @PASenateGOP @PaSenateDems leaders to put rules in place that would enable collaboration. pennlive.com/opinion/2022/1…
