“ There are a tremendous amount of environmental issues that are on the table. ”
Growing Greener doesn't produce money for farmland preservation or open space preservation.
~ Ed Rendell
I think national issues play into gubernatorial races less than, obviously, in Senate and Congressional races. Much less. They tend to be more decided by personality, leadership qualities and by state or local issues. They still have some effect, no question about it, but not as much as Senate and Congressional races.
One of the things that people don't realize is that that natural beauty, those recreational forests, they have an economic development impact for the state as well.
Like working families all across the state, we must find a way to make government live within its means.
