Peifer said he talked with the PACleanSweep people, who are organizing an anti-incumbent crusade across the state in reaction to the legislature's middle-of-the-night pay raise last summer. But he's not going that route. Peifer said he was uncomfortable that he would have to "agree" to positions on 10 issues before PACleanSweep would accept him under its banner. "I don't want to be a puppet," he said, shrugging. But, he said, he's not surprised an organization has sprung up dedicated to stamping out the lack of leadership in Harrisburg. Just about everybody feels that way, he said.
