Williams calls on Pennsylvanians to submit legislation ideas

Who says playing pretend is just for kids? Sen. Anthony Hardy Williams is asking Pennsylvanians to put on their legislator hats and come up with ideas for state laws.

“I am pleased to provide an opportunity for my constituents (and other Pennsylvanians) to seek relief from their frustrations by entering my ‘There Oughta Be a Law!’ competition,” reads a release on Williams’ website.

Inspired by the old cartoon in the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, There Oughta Be a Law is a chance for Pennsylvania voters to suggest ideas to their legislators for new laws. There will be at least one winner whose idea will be introduced to lawmakers next spring.
