Last night at a charity auction, that benefited Project Home, I won "Lunch with Gov. Ed Rendell". I believe the date is set for January something. Which issues would you like me to discuss?

I think you should as him about how he plans on making PA a more competitive place to do business - ie job creation.

when can we expect more goodjobs in PA? and why can't we get good wine like other states?

Yeah if we can't have a good job we want cheap good wine, maybe even subsidized access to it. Questions I have as a newcomer.

1. Why do I have to pay three bucks to come into PA from Jersey? We ain't all that. I think Kansas charges a toll on 70, the only toll on the entire road I believe, basically it's highway robbery in my ignorant of facts opinion. Are we as bad as Kansas?

2. What's with all the road work going on in middle of nowhere pa, are we just doing that stuff to keep people employed in appalachia? It certainly doesn't make it easy to get from one end of the state to the other. Leading to the next question...

3. Where's the high speed corridoor between PGH and Philly? How come we can't even effectively support commerce between our two largest cities?

4. Can we create a number that motorists can call when they witness people throwing cigarettes out of their cars on state roads?

who needs subsidized access? we just need to get the state out of liquor distribution.
that toll is acharge to get out of jersey. something most people are willing to pay. it goes to dvpra. don't you love not having a choice to where your money goes?

Rendell will be stuffing his face the whole time, so your discussion will have to be quick.

Actually, the tolls are even more expense on the NY-NJ borders. Try crossing the George Washington Bridge, or the Outerbridge to Staten Island. They're like $6 or $7, each way.

Hughie: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!

1. tolls are the port authority. like many places, they switched to 'one way' tolls because most people go both ways, and it saves a lot of time to only do the toll once. you can get around it by using another bridge (e.g. the Tacony-Palmyra, one of the bridges further north)

2. The answer is Bud Shuster. "the powerful chairman of the House Transportation Committee who specializes in pork barrel."

3. thankfully a few years ago the state upgraded the rail system for freight so double-high containers can now go through. doesn't help everything however. do note that PGH & PHL are very different worlds, across the mountains and in a different river drainage system.

Wine: It's called the union. PLCB is supposed to sunset (or was last time I heard about it), but of course it's brought back to life every time that happens. Don't know if Rendell has much control but it's a good question.

Competiveness: Another good question. And unions are a big factor, but not the only one. What are his plans?

1. How to help small business & business overall
2. Malpractice insurance...this was a hot topic for a few months, nothing happened, and now no one is talking about it.

Thanks!
