Pennsylvania State Sen. Don White (R-41) is circulating a memo among his Harrisburg peers proposing that money be automatically be deducted from the paychecks of senate staffers and placed directly in the coffers of the campaign committees respective parties.
Some are expressing outrage, OUTRAGE, we say.
Which is kind of White’s point. He does not want this — seriously or not. His goal is to illustrate that the remarkably unfair, authoritarian, banana republic policy he is suggesting is no different than what is in place regarding automatic payroll deductions for members of Pennsylvania public employee unions, whose leaders then use the money to support political candidates who more often than not proponents of policies in direct conflict with the true interest of those in private labor force
Really, is shutting down refineries and mines, and importing cheap Mexican labor in the interest of Pennsylvania workers? Well, that’s what the candidates that get the public union money support.
So how about it Sen. Tom McGarrigle? Are you getting behind Don White’s plan? Doesn’t not having such a law deprive choice from workers who want a (political party) with an effective political voice.
Hat tip Matt Brouilette.
That’s a snowball in hell chance of happening. Let,s get Tea Party candidates who support term limits on the ballot.
An other snowball in hell.
Charlie, he’s not serious about getting the law passed, it’s a gesture.
I think it’s a pretty clever gesture, myself, rather wry.

They’re the candidates that private union money supports too.
