Thank you for "Pockets for Politicians," the Trib's suggestion that those who are outraged by the Pennsylvania Legislature's pay grab should mail an empty pocket to their local legislators. I may even have an old purse or wallet that would serve the same purpose.

I'd love to see this on a full-page spread and then a list of the "greedy grabbers" who voted "yes" published again shortly before Election Day. The excuse about giving their raise to a charity is "bull-roar." I'd much rather determine the charity of my choice, not theirs.

Humph!! They can't increase the minimum wage for Pennsylvania, but they can line their own pockets. How disgusting!
