Rob McCord, Pennsylvania’s disgraced former treasurer, will report to prison this fall.

McCord, now a convicted felon guilty of attempting to use his elected office to extort campaign contributions in 2014, was sentenced Tuesday by a federal judge to two and a half years in prison.

Add his name to a list that includes former Attorney General Kathleen Kane, former state Rep. Bill DeWeese, former state Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin, the so-called “Philadelphia Five,” and everyone involved in the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s “pay-to-play” scandal — just to name a few.

Pennsylvania’s extended gallery of rogues is one of the main reasons the Keystone State appears regularly on lists of America’s most corrupt states. And every time the list expands to include a new name it’s a fresh reminder that we remain in dire need of reforms to everything from the rules on campaign finance and gifts to elected officials, to processes like voter registration and legislative redistricting.

McCord, who prosecutors pointedly noted “corrupted a watchdog agency ... to benefit his friends and punish his foes,” is a reminder that the state is in dire need of campaign finance reforms.

Pennsylvania is one of only 11 states that allow elected officials to raise as much money as they please — there are no contribution limits — and state law bans only direct corporate contributions to candidates, leaving plenty of ways for special interests and those with deep pockets to entice and influence officials like McCord.

Campaign cash isn’t the only corrupting influence money has on Pennsylvania politics. There are also issues like the lack of a ban on gifts to legislators — Pennsylvania is one of just 10 states without that law on the books — and the state’s ridiculous provision that allows lawmakers to collect per diem payments without showing that they actually spent money in legitimate ways.

Just like the collection of corrupt public officials above, this is a short list of problems that cry out for reform.

Our elected officials are well-aware of these needs, they simply choose not to act — including earlier this year, when a reform package proposed by Gov. Tom Wolf was almost immediately mothballed by members of General Assembly, who derided the initiatives as a campaign ploy by Wolf, who is campaigning for re-election.

Those who criticized Wolf’s proposal in this way could very well be right — but here’s the thing: that really doesn’t matter in the least.

The last time we checked, all 203 members of the state House and half of the 50-member state Senate were also up for re-election this year.

Did some little-known election law provision preclude them from offering their own good government reform bills? If so, we’re not aware of it.

Would the effectiveness of these reforms rest on whether or not they were enacted in an election year? Only insofar as the law itself was well or poorly written.

The crux of this matter is not when or who proposed reforming Pennsylvania’s broken system of regulations on government agencies’ policies and procedures and elected officials’ conduct.

It’s that most of those officials don’t seem to actually want reform in the first place.
