Two new outlets have been set up for Pennsylvania taxpayers to vent their feelings about the 16 percent pay raise that state legislators gave themselves in early July.
Tonight at 7 p.m., a cable TV channel called PCN will hold a "special edition of Call-In'' for viewers who want to express an opinion on the pay raise, which will take rank-and-file legislators' pay from $69,647 to $81,050.
The hour-long program will be hosted by Philadelphia Daily News columnist John Baer and Matthew Brouillette, president of the Commonwealth Foundation, a conservative lobbying group. Any resident of the state may participate by calling toll-free at 1-866-726-5483.
Also, a new Web site has been set up with a purpose of "defeating all incumbent Pennsylvania General Assembly members in 2006,'' because of anger over the pay raise.
