Good intentions are not enough. The working people of Pennsylvania deserve results. And as the pages that follow indicate, the results of six years of Republican control don t measure up. We ve identified objective standards, from national sources, in four areas that are important to Pennsylvanians the economy , the environment , education and health care . These measures form a yardstick of sorts to evaluate the reality of the Republican record.
Democrats are optimistic about the future.
We believe that the emerging new economy, built on technological advances and expanded access to information, can provide greater opportunity and prosperity for all Pennsylvanians. That is the challenge for government to expand the winner s circle. In the end, it is this vision of a brighter and better future and a commitment to produce results, not rhetoric, that distinguish us from our Republican counterparts. The information on this site is a work in progress. As new indicators become available, the information will be updated and expanded.
