Throughout the budget process in Pennsylvania, the worst difficulty was finding ways to pay for programs and meet fiscal obligations. I have a wild, off-the-wall, crazy solution.

Imagine (I hope the reader has a fantastic imagination) if our public servants eliminated corruption in government.

We are the sixth most corrupt state (Google it) in the nation, and our state representatives and senators turn their heads and ignore it.

Corruption is a dirty word; we haven’t even heard it mentioned in a campaign speech in decades.

But think of the money that would be available if we had honest politicians who declared war on fraud and graft.

With the government computers we have today it should not be too hard to track bids, expenditures, and costs and payments if anyone made the effort.

In a bipartisan attack, I call on Kim Ward and Matthew Bradford to appoint a special commission to investigate, find and arrest the people who steal from all of us. Why is no effort at all being made? Of what are they afraid?
