Ending politics as usual in Harrisburg

By Rob Teplitz

Candidate for State Senator; Pennsylvania State Senate; District 15

This information is provided by the candidate
Rob has fought alongside Bob Casey and Jack Wagner for transparency, accountability, and reform in all areas of government. He knows that in the Capitol, how politics happens drives what policies happen. Therefore, bringing fundamental reforms to state government is one of his highest priorities.

In particular, Rob will pursue a comprehensive reform agenda including the following: reducing the size of the General Assembly; subjecting the General Assembly and its multi-million dollar legislative slush fund to annual audits; instituting non-partisan legislative redistricting; requiring that the state budget be passed on time every year (and preventing state elected officials from being paid until they do their job); strengthening and enforcing open records and open meeting laws; and eliminating secret, no-bid public contracts. Rob also believes that it is long past time to hold another state constitutional convention in order to directly involve the general public in the process of bringing these and other reforms to state government.
