"Pennsylvania continues to have the worst roads in the country, according to an annual surveys of truckers."

They beat Louisiana? That's ridiculous. It's not even funny. Chunks of Louisiana are swamp, for crying out loud. I don't see how you could make roads any worse than ours except by bombing them or something.

The 19 yr. old laughed and said it made sense that we are now the number one trash importer,after all New Jersey is full.

You know what would be really cool? If Pennsylvanians stayed mad at him until 2008. The Republican presidential candidate could then ride Rendell's anti-coattails to an electoral victory in Pennsylvania. Let's see any Dem presidential candidate get elected in '08 without Pennsylvania.

PennDot is probably the most corrupt part of the government in this state, next to the Turnpike Commission.

He signed it and praised the pay raise. It wasn’t until Pennsylvanians started booing Rendell at county fairs that he realized he had stepped in it...Fast Eddy seems to make a habit of stepping in it - I believe I remember that he was chairman of the DNC for a few weeks during the tumultuous election of 2000, when he opined that Al Gore should not continue his fight by challenging the results through the Florida courts, soon after which he was no longer the chairman of the DNC...maybe we'll see a similar job loss after this year's election.....

Rendell was elected because of two very simple reasons. Mike Fisher didn't come across as the jolly, cordial type like Rendell and the big reason - Rendell promised the seniors property tax relief on his very first day of office. They're still waiting for any tax relief. He's banking on smoke filled block buildings called slots parlors to take the seniors money and turn it into their own tax relief. The media doesn't mention that Rendell is calculating slots revenue in PA to exceed that of Las Vegas.

The Philadelphia democrat voting fraud block is hard to overcome in any state wide election. Let's hope Scranton or Swann give him a run for his money.

I just got back from my Christmas vacation trip to PA. My parents live up in Gettysburg.

First the roads are truly the worst in the country.

Second, the state is trying to cram casinos down the throats of its citizens. In Gettysburg, the town has said no to casinos on the battlefields. The town prides itself on it's history and are dead set against bringing that kind of business to its little community. Everyone thought the issue was put to rest after the town voted it down. Rendel and his folks just repackaged a new plan and are pushing it hard.

One bright note, my dad, a life long democrat said he stopped going to the local democrat meetings because he was the only one to show up. lol

I also heard that PA is a state that very little job and economic growth. Not Michigan bad, but very low and not competitive nationwide. Does anyone know about this?

Ed Rendell is the archetypal flim-flam man. He talks a good game, but when one peels back the layers of slime, at the core is a socialist ideologue looking to line his own pockets and those of his cronies with other people's money.

Garbage has always been run by the syndicate. My guess is Rendell is in debt to the syndicate.
