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! J.E. Shipley Monroeville
