ethics in politics

Pennsylvania legislators are among the highest paid in the country.

Pennsylvania has no limits on gifts that special interest groups can give to legislators.

How can our legislators be trusted to always be acting in our best interests if special interests can write them a blank check?

In the last quarter century, state lawmakers have attempted to ban public officials from taking cash or gifts from lobbyists 37 times.

WHAT HAS REP MOUL DONE?

Moul takes money from the Georgia-based Pace-O-Matic Skill PAC (which makes most of the state’s 70,000 unregulated skill games).

WHAT WOULD KATHLEEN PRATT DO?

Eliminating gifts from special interests is the first step. Lobbyists can provide useful information – without gifts. I believe that elected officials have a responsibility to behave in a way that increases confidence in our democratic institutions, and not enable a system that promotes corruption and gives the appearance of a self-enrichment scheme.

Career politicians have lost their way. It is time to represent the voters of the 91st.
