thanks to a contest called "There Ought to Be a Law," sponsored annually by Rep. Tom Stevenson, R-Mt. Lebanon.

Here are some laws I would like to see:

1) For every NEW law passed, two existing laws have to be repealed before it can take effect.

2) Prior to voting on any piece of legislation, each senator or rep must sign a statement under penalty of perjury attesting that he or she has personally read the full text of the proposed legislation in its entirety.

3) Legislators receive a bonus (to be split among the whole body) equal to 1% of the amount by which each enacted budget is smaller than that of the previous year.

You beat me to it and with a better presentation; so be it.
