LTE: Give Independents more opportunities

Mon, Dec 10 2007

Regarding the Nov. 28 op-ed column by G. Terry Madonna and Michael L. Young, ”Reform without change is Pennsylvania’s peril”: The reform agenda must include an open and inclusive, non-partisan political process. As more and more voters become Independent (35 to 40 percent of the electorate) we clearly need to restructure the political process to give Pennsylvanians more direct political control over policy making, government, and the culture of political life. We cannot depend on the Democrats or Republicans to reform themselves. They won’t!
