In a state that has a long tradition of thinking it is many private fiefdoms it is understandable why giving up the private approach to governing is so difficult.
But one would hope that with the beginning of the 21st century that the tradition of selling off land to privileged English and Irish landlords and corporations would come to a halt. If a bill has not been considered by the middle of June 2008 the grand tradition will continue until at least 2022. Do the citizens of Penna. really want to wait 14 years while the legislators choose their constituents instead of the voters electing their legislators, like they do in other states? High School Civics classes might change minds.
