| Subject: | Resolution – Recognizing the week of December 7, 2015 as “Government Reform Week” |
| In the near future, I will be introducing legislation recognizing the week of December 7, 2015 as Government Reform Week, to highlight the need to restore trust in the way state government operates. The Center for Public Integrity’s State Integrity Investigation, released in November 2015, ranked Pennsylvania 45th in the country in government integrity, and Pennsylvania was one of eleven states that received a failing grade. Pennsylvania received an “F” in seven subtopics, including Political Financing, Electoral Oversight, Legislative Accountability, Judicial Accountability, State Civil Service Management, Ethics Enforcement Agencies, and State Pension Fund Management. Government Reform Week is a time to take stock of the function of state government over the past year, while looking forward to the reforms that should be enacted in the next year. Please join me in co-sponsoring this resolution, recognizing the week of December 7, 2015 as Government Reform Week. |
