HARRISBURG -- When legislative leaders talk about reform, three words come up a lot: "procedure" and "access" and "openness." They say that judging by those criteria, the Legislature has come a long way in the last year. And, if those are your criteria, that is true. It is far easier to get expense records for lawmakers now. We have a lobbying disclosure law that is far weaker than the federal law, but at least we finally have one. So why do so many critics persist, and why are these actions not hailed as reform? How much change is that?
