Pennsylvania legislators, the fourth highest-paid in the nation, spent around 45 days in Harrisburg so far this year.
That doesn't qualify as a full-time job, argues Reading Eagle columnist John Forester.
From his column:
When the statewide grand jury investigating the Legislature issued its scathing report in May, it recommended several reforms be made, including that the legislators' jobs be made part time.
Lawmakers said they would consider the grand jury's report sometime this year.
Then, after atypically passing the budget by the June 30 deadline, they adjourned and left Harrisburg for the summer.
House members are scheduled to be in session next on Sept. 13.
The Senate hasn't scheduled a return date yet.
That's some full-time job.
