York Co. Dem.: Idea Not Fucktastic, But Important

Now that the State House is Democratic — barely — our blue legislators in Harrisburg are attempting to reform redistricting and eliminate gerrymandered state and congressional seats.

Certainly not the biggest issue in the world, but getting rid of gerrymandered districts is a good idea. One lawmaker, York County Democrat Eugene DePasquale, explained why it was such a crucial issue to take on:

“Austin Powers may not consider redistricting reform the most ’shagadelic’ issue. But I believe it’s the most important reform issue.”

Later, he added: “If we don’t end gerrymandering, our state will sink just like the Titanic — the ship from the movie Titanic!”
