More news on Government Reform

Round-up of a number of stories today on the push for government reform and transparency:

Steve Samuelson has worked out a compromise with Babette Josephs – who stymied his previous redistricting effort – on redistricting reform. The new plan would offer greater transparency and guidelines for the redistricting process. However, legislators would continue to control the process. Both Barry Kauffman and I remark that this is a positive step – but the previous bill that Rep. Josephs killed was better.

A new poll from Susquehanna Polling finds that 69% of midstate voters want a special session on government reform – starting now.
The Senate GOP calls for Governor Rendell to get more grant contracts into the new online database. Though the Senate itself has very little information available.
