Republican Tom Corbett wants to present himself as the candidate who can change Harrisburg, but past the soundbites, what does that really mean? It doesn’t necessarily mean thorough change, at least when it comes to term limits. Corbett is running on his experience as Attorney General and being tough on corruption, but why then is he only interested in term limits for some and not all legislators? His probe of state legislator was supposedly non-partisan, but this is utterly not the case at all.

Corbett supports term limits for legislative leaders and committee chairmen, not necessarily all legislators, Nutt said.

via Pennsylvania governor candidates support many of grand jury’s proposals – Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

By not requiring term limits for all legislators, it allows conservative legislators to become embedded in office and places the burdon on a competitor to raise enough force to battle inertia to cause change. This may address some of the corruption issues, but doesn’t seek to create a more representative govenment.

Corbett may be running on being a good prosecutor, but that doesn’t really give him the credentials needed to be the State’s highest ranking executive. Dan Onorato supports a far wider range of change that will not only improve the ability for our government to be representative of the people, but will lower costs, and fight corruption.
