Berks is a great example of the biggest problem in U.S. government

by Steve Reinbrecht

Look at a map,and it's hard to find a place more gerrymandered than Berks County.

The Reading Eagle had a column about this, on a national level, in its print edition Monday. 
[Here it is on another site. I couldn't find it reprinted on the Eagle's website.]

"The result is catastrophic. Almost every member of Congress is totally protected from political accountability. " the writers said about the U.S. in general.

"Fortunately, in a growing number of states, reformers are working to reverse the damage .... Some are actually succeeding," Cokie and Steven Roberts write.

Is anybody from Berks or representing Berks working on this?
