   And your point is?  I never claimed that Pennsylvania was a Democrat controlled   
   state, only that it certainly is NOT a Republican controlled state.  The   
   executive head and governor of the state is about as Democrat a person as one   
   can find.  Republicans hold a small elected majority in the legislature, but   
   certainly not enough to overturn any of Ed's vetoes.  If you were arguing that   
   Massachusetts is a Democrat controlled state (despite a R governor) you'd have   
   better luck, since Democrats hold about 90% in both houses in that   
   commonwealth,   
   far more than enough to withstand any veto.

   Please try to read more accurately.   I didn't say that the Philadelphia   
   Parking   
   Authority was not controlled by a Republican majority, or anything about the   
   Philadelphia Parking Authority at all for that matter.  Since you mentioned it   
   here, I do note that it is currently controlled  by an appointed Republican   
   majority and coincidentally is a government entity in Philadelphia that   
   *doesn't* have federal agents/grand juries/petit juries crawling all over   
   corruption and bribe schemes, e.g. City Hall and its cronies.  As noted   
   elsewhere in the thread, it also commits sins like ticketing people who   
   improperly park in Handicapped parking spaces.
