Bowyer on Pa Tea Parties

Radio talker Jerry Bowyer -- last seen in these pages commenting on the senatorial hopes of conservative activist Peg Luksik -- writes for the Wall Street Journal about the Tea Party's roots in Pa:

The Keystone State's tea party movement actually began several years ago—on July 7, 2005, at 2 a.m. That's when our state legislature rammed through a pay hike for its members and the state's judiciary. Because the state's constitution prohibits legislators from collecting pay increases in the same year they were passed, legislative leaders called the pay hike a reimbursement for expenses that required no documentation or simply "unvouched expenses."
