The candidates for governor of Pennsylvania have come out against corruption. In fact, they are very much against it in nearly every shape and form and want everyone to know it. That is the revelation from the latest
joint-appearance of the men seeking to succeed Ed Rendell held in Harrisburg Wednesday (March 31). Another revelation: all the candidates for governor are reformers who believe state government must be...well, reformed. Only state Sen. Anthony Hardy Williams offered a modest dissent. When Democrat Joe Hoeffel said he would never sign a state budget that included WAMS -- grants inserted by legislators in exchange for their votes -- Williams offered a defense of WAMS, saying they go to worthy projects.
