"Pennsylvania’s Capitol is, first and foremost, a public building belonging to the citizens of the Commonwealth" according to The Pennsylvania Capitol Centennial Commission.
Apparently this overly ornate building is the ONLY thing in Harrisburg that belongs to the citizens of this Commonwealth.
For the past few decades - possibly even generations - the government occupying this palace has acted as if it existed in a vacuum; at times with total disregard for the citizens to which it owes its very existence.
But we want it back...and will go to great lengths to ensure that the government of this Commonwealth is returned to its rightful owners!
