Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, a symbol of Harrisburg quagmire
Another great column by Bill White, Allentown Morning Call:

snip> Deena Kenney told me when they finally got a private meeting with House Speaker Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, it quickly became apparent that he wasn't interested in what they had to say.
"He attacked us on pretty much everything we said," she said. "He went right in and started screaming at us. He was very emotional. She said, "At one point he insulted one mother so bad, she stood up, called him a jerk and walked out on him."
snip> Listing his party's legislative accomplishments, Turzai said, "Pro-Second Amendment? The Castle Doctrine, it's done. First pro-life legislation — abortion facility regulations — in 22 years, done. Voter ID, which is going to allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done."
snip> Just when it appeared that Pennsylvania was prepared to finally end its barbaric tradition of "hunting" tethered animals and blasting dazed pigeons flung into the air — thanks to a Senate bill that passed 36-12 the week before — Turzai last October shanghaied the bill into the House Rules Committee, where it died on the last day of the legislative session.
