Foul ball

If I had $28 million to throw around, I’d throw it at improving the quality of life for the citizens of Pennsylvania, not at an untested, fear-driven, discriminatory measure for a problem whose validity is yet to be proven. Senate Bill 9 has distracted the senate from its mandate long enough. Now it goes to the House. Let’s hope the House has enough sense to make quick work of striking out this legislation which hopes to prevent illegal aliens from benefiting from public funds by measures that are already in place.

The real problems before our state legislature are health care and education. This bill risks to further burden both of those systems as it diminishes the funds available for public welfare. It’s time to let our representatives know: Enough battling. Play ball.
