Have you heard about Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendel? I would find it hard to believe you haven’t. Unless he’s wasting a lot of public relations dollars. Here’s the latest from the PA Gov today:

Governor Edward G. Rendell today announced investments of more than $1.9 million to strengthen Pennsylvania’s multi-billion dollar agriculture and tourism industries. “Pennsylvania is investing in 11 projects that will help two critical components of our growing economy — agriculture and tourism,” Governor Rendell said. “Our resources are helping to create and retain more than 60 jobs.”

That’s a story I think. I mainly post it because this guy sends out more news releases than anyone I know. It’s daily and they are well written and they’re often about things I’m interested in that have to do with ag in one way or another. I feel like I know him better than any other state governor and I’ve never met him. That’s includes Matt Blunt here in Missouri!

Anyway, maybe they have a strategy in all this. I know I just used one of his releases on our sister renewable fuel news blog, DomesticFuel.

This announcement of the 1.9 million is just a drop in the bucket too. The PA Gov has “enacted one of the largest economic stimulus packages in the country – 2.3 billion dollars of programs and grants designed to revitalize jobs, bolster business growth, and sustain communities.” That’s a lot of economic stimulus!
