5. Quit attacking Pennsylvania's State Capital, just because it has a debt of $30,285 per resident

That is three times the debt to resident ratio of Philadelphia (Which is the only County that is also a city, every other county in Pennsylvania has several subdivisions, cities, Boroughs and Townships, thus Philadelphia is both a County AND a city, Harrisburg is just a largest city in Dauphin County, which is a separate legal entity).

Harrisburg itself
