Singel believes will help him and his
running mate put a Democrat in the
state’s top seat. Casey and Singel
have, in recent weeks, been forced to
reach into the history books and look
closely at their backgrounds, pulling
out any advantage to win the election
political observers say is too close to
call.
“There’s not a poll in Pennsylvania
that has Republican candidate Wil
liam Scranton ahead,” Singel said.
The final two weeks of the campaign
will be crucial as both candidates
realize that one mistake may cost
them the election, he said.
The three-term state senator from
Cambria County faces Scranton run
ning mate Mike Fisher in the race for
the lieutenant governor seat.
The Democratic race for governor
has displaced many myths about the
party in this campaign.
The tough and hard-fought primary
battle against former Philadelphia
District Attorney Ed Rendell did not
break the unity of the party as many
thought it would. Rather, he said, the
Democrats became more cohesive.
“Our biggest advocate today is Ed
Rendell,” Singel said, adding that
“you cannot find a Democrat in the
state that is not solidly behind our
ticket.”
The primary battle gave Casey and
Singel an opportunity to get their
names heard by residents across the
state, he said.
“Although we had to divert large
amounts of funds into the spring
campaign, many polls show that the
campaign to elect Casey and Singel
has raised more money than the

Republican challengers since the
summer,” he said.
The primary, Singel admits, was a
factor in fund raising. “If it wasn’t for
the primary we’d be ahead in raising
money.
“We’ve exploited the myth that the
Democrats cannot raise big money in
Pennsylvania. This year we’ve raised
more than $4 million and are holding
our own,” he said. The Republicans
for Scranton have raised an esti
mated $6 million for the November
election.
Singel described the Thornburgh
administration as miserly in its
spending for education and funding
for local governments.
“The Casey-Singel ticket will at
tack the economic development, edu
cation and environmental
infrastructure as our three main prio
rities. If a state surplus is available at
the end of the year, it will be re
invested in those three areas in that
order,” he said.
State universities and state-related
universities have not kept pace with
the cuts to student aid and decreasing
federal funds, he said.
“Pennsylvania ranks 45th out of 50
states on the number of high school
students who continue on to college,”
said the 33-year-old state senator.
To help more students get a college
degree, Singel said he and Casey
have developed an Individual Educa
tion Account program so that parents
can set aside a percentage of their
wages to be entered into a state pool.
The money in the pool would be
invested by the state and the parents’
children would be able to go to any
state university free of charge, he
said.

“The state has not prioritized higher education
and it’s about time that they do,” Cleveland said.
SAFE will also be working closely with the
University’s administration, he said.
“They are emphasizing research at this Univer
sity at the expense of quality education,” Cleve
land said.
In addition, he added that SAFE will stress the
need to create incentives encouraging Pennsylva
nia graduates to seek employment in the state,
since many students are leaving the area to find
jobs.
He added that legislators should also concen
trate on economic development in Pennsylvania
as a means of creating incentives for graduates.
“Higher education and economic development
have to go hand in hand,” Cleveland said.
Baker said the groundwork for SAFE is still
being laid, but the committee hopes to have
regional directors by January.
