A great year for reformers

Primary voters head to the polls in just over a month. As the campaigns heat up, the word "reform" is making an appearance right on cue. According to Meg Mullin, assistant professor of political science at Temple, it's a great year for reformers. "Voters are disgruntled. The DROP program has gotten so much attention...people are continuing to struggle with finding jobs, the state is suffering huge budget problems, local governments are suffering budget problems," said Mullin. "I think all incumbents need to watch their backs, and making a case based on reform is a smart move in a year like this."
