The Larry Kane Report

Those conniving lawmakers who took the secret pay raise in the middle of the night are setting new records for incompetence. Not all of them are in a funk, but many are showing their true mettle by:

Watering down a bill against public smoking.

Fighting Ed Rendell on enhancing early-childhood learning.

Refusing to pass special gun legislation for Philadelphia.

All of this adds up to a political gang that embarrases the state.

Voters have long memories.
