Issue Position: Why Does Harrisburg Seem so Dysfunctional

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016

Many people believe Harrisburg is dysfunctional because change is slow to happen. However, state government was designed to work slowly and deliberately. I know it can be frustrating at times, but we need to reach consensus among 203 Representatives, 50 Senators, and a Governor to make any idea a reality. Pennsylvania is a very diverse state with several distinctly different regions and sets of traditions. Doing what's best to serve the needs of the majority of 12.8 million citizens takes time and deserves careful consideration.
