Smaller Legislature debate in Pennsylvania House and Senate
The debate over a smaller Pennsylvania legislature asks what “modern” and “efficient” mean for a 253-member body. Proposals cut House seats from 203 to about 180 or 120, with Senate from 40 to 40. Support centers on cost savings and simplification, but rural representatives fear larger districts and reduced local voice, while urban lawmakers see less impact.

The piece ends with a humorous anecdote about Calvin Coolidge and a White House breakfast.
