There is a popular commercial dealing with the timeshare industry. Basics are this: You don’t know how much and for how long you are going to pay for a real estate mistake. You signed a blank check for life.

Several times this paper has granted me my railings against the Pennsylvania Legislature’s pay grab of 2005 at midnight. This continues today with the recent self-granted pay raise. To add insult to injury, the 2005 midnight grab included a cost-of-living adjustment based on the Philadelphia SMSA. So, for decades, quietly they have gotten pay raises without a single vote, along with special perks. Have you and your family done financially as well?

So for one day every two years, actually for 12 hours, you get an opportunity to change things with your vote.

A Pennsylvania constitutional uprising needs to take place. Why? Because the Legislature has its self-political interest in mind. Change won’t take place, and we will keep paying for poor service and see the greed like the timeshare industry commercials tell us about.

They supposedly work for us. They volunteered to run for office. What great service are they providing us that is costing us freedom and no say? They have stacked the deck in their favor.
