LET THE LAWMAKERS CHANGE STATE LAW

State law says that you can't give your raise back to the treasury -- state law gives all lawmakers an AUTOMATIC RAISE -- STOP DONATING OUR MONEY TO CHARITY -- AND CHANGE THE LAW!!!


"'Tis the season to be giving — back, that is. And state politicians are no exception.
Many local lawmakers publicly announced Wednesday that they'll either be returning the 2.8 percent automatic cost of living allowance to the commonwealth, or donating their raises to charity.
If all the money goes back to the state, it would total about $506,000.
“People all across Pennsylvania are losing their jobs, and of those lucky enough to stay employed, many are not getting a raise this year,” Rep. John Galloway, D-140, said in a statement about his roughly $2,000 return to the state's general fund. “If they're not getting a raise, then why should their elected officials get one?”"
