Eachus' last gasp keeps sprinklers alive

Representative Eachus went down to a resounding defeat but as one of his last acts he refused to let the House consider the delay of the fire sprinkler code.

So homebuyers in Pennsylvania will be paying more for their homes all the while he is collecting his pension.

What a great legacy.

Congratulations Pennsylvania Representatives

Even though their leader went down hard in the elections and their number 2 retired, it was amazing to see that the state house of representatives could bring themselves to actually go to work for one day between election day and the swearing in of the next legislature.

Hopefully they will deal with sprinklers and pensions.

Of course they can't deal with anything that will take longer than one day procedurally.

So glad we pay for a full time legislature
