Freshman Pennsylvania House member Matt Smith (D-Mt. Lebanon) is calling for a 20 percent reduction in the funding allocation for the Pennsylvania General Assembly in the 2008-09 state budget.
Smith told House Appropriations Chairman Dwight Evans such a funding cut would help demonstrate that members of the legislature can be good stewards of public dollars.
