Senator and Candidate Piccola for Constitutional Amendment

I would like to be the first to announce that Republican candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, Jeff Piccola has come out in favor of a constitutional amendment requiring ALL legislative pay raises to be put to a binding voter referendum. Mr. Piccola was asked in a recent email if he would support such an amendment and speaking on behalf of the Senator, Mr. Dean Ouellette campaign manager responded "He would be open to that amendment. He also has sponsored legislation that will reduce the size of the legislature."

While Mr. Ouellette stopped short of calling for such an amendment. It appears clear by his response and similar subject matter that Senator Piccola could be counted on to be an advocate encouraging the movement.
