A reader phones and offers this suggestion, in all seriousness:

"Why don't they assign a special prosecutor at the beginning of the convention center project, as well as any other large projects, to follow along and pursue problems as they occur?"

That reader is a brilliant man.

Of course, what with the "money for nothing" scandal in Harrisburg and the casino saga, to say nothing of other political quagmires, Pennsylvania would end up with more special prosecutors than politicians.

Which isn't a bad idea at all, if we the taxpayers didn't have to pay for it.
