First, Rendell took the gasoline taxes and federal road funds away from the roads to prop up SEPTA, Philly’s public transportation system.
Now, SEPTA employees — of course, union employees — are on strike and SEPTA is down. They want better health benefits (and of course the liberals support the unions). So where, you ask, is the money for these increased health benefits going to come from?
Why yes, the rest of the state, just like before, either directly from our state taxes, or indirectly, from federal taxes which in turn are allocated to states to build and maintain roads.
So let me repeat what I said on Blue State Conservatives: Santorum’s race is important, but for us in Pennsylvania, booting Rendell out of office has to take the highest priority.

I’m not from Pennsylvania, but I place both races on equal priority.

Rendell has a more direct effect on us here, but I realize that nationally, Santorum is more important. Thing is, I don’t want people to spend all their time and energy on Santorum and let Rendell get re-elected in the process.
