Integrity in Government Special Session

The Commonwealth Foundation and nine other organizations have asked Governor Rendell to call a special session to deal with integrity in Goverment. Here is the info, courtesy Democracy Rising Pennsylvania:

Democracy Rising PA and 10 other groups asked Gov. Ed Rendell to call a special session of the General Assembly devoted exclusively to issues of public integrity. If the governor calls the special session, we will create a special section of our web site to track what happens. For now:

• Here’s the letter to Gov. Rendell seeking the special session.
• Here’s the agenda the 11 groups proposed for “debate and a vote” at the special session.
• And here’s a statement by DR Co-founder Tim Potts at today’s news conference announcing the request.

To achieve the best state government in America, Pennsylvania needs voters who understand how government really works – and why sometimes it doesn’t work.

Democracy Rising PA provides insights based on experience in state government and with other organizations who know state government. Our newsletters, opinion pieces and media interviews have one purpose in mind: to educate citizens about their government so they can make informed decisions about the future of our Commonwealth.
