Newsradio 1020 KDKA Editorial: Wasted Time and Energy in Harrisburg
Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane –
Has been fighting criminal charges.
Many people –
Including fellow Democrats like Governor Tom Wolf –
Think she should resign.
Kane has refused –
So the state Senate tried –
And failed –
To remove her from office –
Using an arcane provision in the state constitution.
If they really think she misbehaved in office –
Lawmakers should impeach her.
It wasn't until Wednesday –
That the state House finally voted –
To start the impeachment process.
It's another example of wasted time – and energy in Harrisburg.
Legislators should be working on the next fiscal year's budget now –
But Pennsylvania still doesn't have a budget –
For the current fiscal year.
It seems Harrisburg is the new headquarters –
For the Procrastinator's Club.
If it's important –
Pennsylvania's elected leaders will deal with it.
Eventually.
Maybe.
