Does one wonder why the reforms that have taken place in Wisconsin and Indiana have not occurred in Pennsylvania despite the Republicans controlling all three branches of state government?
Montco Tea Party activist Bob Guzzardi notes that Springfield’s own Bill Adolph who has represented the 165th District since 1988 with such knob-polishing diligence that his peers in Harrisburg have bestowed upon him the chairmanship of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, got a $5,000 campaign donation from organized labor’s Good Jobs Pa PAC on April 27.
Guzzardi further notes that the PSEA, the teachers union, is a consistent donor to his campaign.
Even a graduate of a school whose teachers are represented by a PSEA affiliate should be able to do the math as why the things that need to get done in Pennsylvania don’t.
Information about campaign contributions regarding all candidates can be found at https://www.campaignfinanceonline.state.pa.us. Warning: it is a very user unfriendly site.
Why does Rep. Adolph need $5,000 campaign contributions? I strongly suspect that since he has been milking the public teat, he has become a millionaire.
Perhaps we ought to forget about demanding a look at the tax records of national political candidates. We should be checking into the wealth of our local ones.
I think the Tea Party should feature Mr. Adolph as a poster boy for term limits.
Will the Tea Party back Rocco Polidoro? We must wait and see.
