Pennsylvanians can be proud. An amazing example for the rest us to follow.

PHILADELPHIA - Angry voters were passing out the pink slips in Pennsylvania, where state lawmakers voted themselves a huge pay raise in the dead of night last year.

More than a dozen legislative incumbents, including the state Senate's top two Republicans, lost in Tuesday's primary election. With retirements, it means at least one in every six seats in the 253-member Legislature will turn over.

Pennsylvania voters also set up one of the hottest races in the U.S. Senate, choosing conservative Democrat Bob Casey to challenge conservative Republican Sen. Rick Santorum this fall.
