Up
& Down
April 19, 2002
|
 |
Vince Galko goes up as he trims back
his time with U.S. Senator Rick Santorum and heads over to Attorney
General Mike Fisher's gubernatorial campaign as coalitions
director. |
|
|
Fumo advisor Ken Snyder goes up
along with his candidate, NJ Senator Bob Torricelli,
as the leading Republican U.S. Senate rival has his
county executive office raided by the FBI and IRS. |
|
|
Auditor General Bob Casey, Jr. goes up
this week with the
endorsement of a prominent group of black Philadelphia clergymen. |
|
|
Voter Confusion goes way up as
the internal wrangling continues on setting the primary date. |
|
|
In the 6th Congressional District, Democratic
candidate Dan Wofford goes up with the
endorsement of the AFL-CIO, as GOP rival Jim Gerlach goes down for
having less than $100,000 cash on hand. |
|
|
Children with autism go up as
300 parents rallied last week against cuts in medical assistance. Before
the Harrisburg rally was over, 45 lawmakers had spoken in support of the
cause. House Republican Denny O'Brien was master of
ceremonies.
|
 |
Mayor John Street goes down
for the unfortunate remark at an NAACP convention in Philly when he said,
"the brothers and sisters are running this city." Street did
apologize but it was an unnecessary distraction to what should have been a
good week for the mayor as he named Sylvester Johnson as the new
permanent Police Commissioner.

|
State Representative Gene
DiGirolamo goes down for the ill-advised letter he sent to voters who
signed his Democratic opponent Scott Blacker's nomination
petitions. While the Lower Bucks County Republican says he was only trying
to ask how he could better serve his constituents, there are some votes
you just need to concede. A good place to start is with those who sign
your opponent's petitions.

The state's Rainy Day Fund goes down and dry as the Commonwealth
swims in a sea of red ink with recent projections pegging this year's
budget deficit at one billion dollars.
