After fat eddie was raving about the improvement in the PA education system, Swann quoted the numbers on the most recent AP test given to high school seniors. In 2005, out of 2200 black seniors in Pittsburgh, only 29 took the test and only 3 passed.
He then asked eddie about his campaign PROMISE in 2002 to reduce property tax by 30%. hahahaha, that's a joke. The tax reduction.....000000000000......
Anyone who watched, but I'm afraid not many did, would know that Swann beat him.
To the ratz I have to deal with everyday that would be a plus. They LOVES crooks!
I couldn't catch the debate...saw an exchange on WTAE newscast around 3AM and Swann DID look good. Of course the only ound bites our news service sent the radion stations where I work were on the exchange were Swann interrupted Fast Eddie while he was talking about property tax reform. Gov Ed scolded Swann for interrupting, Swan apologzed and then Ed went into attack mode...made Swann admit that it was against heh rules of debate and that Swann had to play by the rules when he was a Steeler. I wish I could have seen how Swann recovered, but of course we didn't get that.
I guarantee that's the only sound from the debate that will get aired.

That is an outrageous figure. Good for Swann for bringing it out. IMO education can't improve until kids start reading books for pleasure again, instead of playing video games. When I was a kid, we went to the library, checked out books, and actually read them.
