9 workdays in 4 months.

The State Senate here in Harrisburg is about to complete its fall legislative session. Can you imagine: 9 workdays over a four-month period (from September through the end of the year). After today, the Senators will go back to their districts, and half of them will seek reelection in November.

So what have they done on the pressing issues of the day? Well, not a whole lot.

Energy and health care costs are as high as ever. And little to no relief is coming at the gas pump, on home heating bills, or for those without health insurance.

The Delco Times tells us as much.

The same goes for the shrinking cost share that the state has provided for education, forcing school boards to raise property taxes. And governmental and electoral reform are not taken seriously enough by the Republican leadership in the Senate.

So where does that leave us?

Less than 4 weeks away from electing a new slate of legislators that is responsive to the needs of Pennsylvanians.

Please help us make this goal a reality.

Thanks and talk to you soon.
