Pennsylvania constitutional convention

Our friends at PACleanSweep is pushing a constitutional convention. The last one was in 1968. For all the talk of reforms in Harrisburg I'm of the opinion that the most far reaching one is to take redistricting out of the hands of the politicians. Congressional and state house/senate districts should be drawn to make geographic sense and be as competitive as possible. That would ensure term limits in many cases and make our representatives more responsive to the people. From the inbox:

On February 22 at Duquesne University, the Senate State Government
Committee will be holding a hearing regarding the possibilities of holding a
constitutional convention. A convention could address issues Pennsylvanians have
been talking about since the pay raise, such as changing the size of the
legislature, enacting term limits and setting new redistricting guidelines.

The Committee will be hearing from selected experts in constitutional law
and from a few established reform-minded organizations, but has not yet called
for any input from the general public.
