Reform That Never Came


When Tom Wolf first portrayed himself as a reformer six years ago, I wondered.  Driving a Jeep and not living in the state mansion doesn't make someone a reformer in itself.

Six years later, we still have the same old, overly large state house. We still have all the useless politically appointed commissions, and we still have the same old reform promises, with no action.

On Friday morning PennDOT sprayed Cedar Crest Blvd. with salt brine. Although there was only a remote possibility of less than a flurry, the brine was flowing like wine at a party.  I then realized that the mild winter was coming to an end, and PennDOT must use up their supplies to justify their upcoming budget.

I know of no aspect of state government that has changed, at all.

  1. Couldn't agree more. Two causes of this are the minimal media coverage and scrutiny of our state government in Harrisburg and the public's near total lack of interest.

  2. You should see trees along Rte 378 from 22 to Hill to Hill bridge. Penndot has been working at night to trim trees and brush. Instead of using a chain saw for a clean cut,they used what looks like a lawn mower deck attached to a excavator. The tree branches look like they were twisted and ripped off in a storm.
