Although some social scientists argue that multiple local governments lead to more efficient tax and service levels because consumers can shop for the package that best fits their needs, even proponents of that view would agree that government policies can distort the market for efficient tax-service packages. There is reason to believe that Pennsylvania has distorted that market. Perhaps alone among the states, the Commonwealth does not require municipalities to provide police protection, fire protection, or to take care of thousands of miles of essentially local roads.

Chairman Rep. Tony DeLuca (D-Allegheny) has already scheduled hearings for March 26 and 27 to begin committee deliberations on the plan. Having one large bill appears to be a change from the originally announced Administration presentation that there would be 47 separate parts to the reforms.

Hess, Crisci Associates April 21, 2008 PA Environment Digest Video Blog 16,000 Miles of Polluted Streams Add Urgency to Call for Clean Water Funding Clean water is a right, not an option, yet a newly released report shows that more Pennsylvania streams are losing the battle against pollution this year than in past years, according to the Department of Environmental Protection, adding urgency to the call last week for a PA Fair Share for Clean Water funding plan . The report, “The 2008 Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report,” shows that nearly 16,000 of Pennsylvania’s 86,000 miles of streams and rivers do not meet water quality standards. In addition, over 38,300 acres of lakes and ponds are similarly impaired. In addition to commending DEP for their work in obtaining the data, CBF recognized the report as a valuable tool for watershed groups and citizens interested in improving local water quality. “Approximately half of Pennsylvania’s streams drain to the Chesapeake Bay. With nearly 16,000 miles of our streams laden with pollution, it’s no wonder the Bay is suffering,” said Harry Campbell, CBF’s Pa Staff Scientist. “At its heart, the Bay restoration effort is about respecting and restoring our streams—the streams in our own backyard. If we find the political and societal will do that, the Bay will respond in-kind.” The report, first released in 1998, is released every two years, as an on-going assessment of Pennsylvania’s waterways in order to determine the stream miles impaired and the causes of impairment.
