As PEC’s current president, I’m reminded that the work we are currently doing would not be possible without the credibility, expertise and reputation that the organization has garnered over the past 40 years, thanks to the hard work and accomplishments of past leaders and staff and the steadfast support from our members and partners. The difficult issues that PEC has taken on in the past, and the notable achievements – like the amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution guaranteeing the right to clean air and water – are real inspirations to me and to the people who work at PEC today. We draw on the examples and inspiration from our past to help guide our work today as we address the important environmental and conservation issues facing Pennsylvania. The economy of the Commonwealth continues to evolve and economic opportunities like the development of gas resources present challenges to protecting our land, water and communities. Leaders in our cities and urban areas seek to provide the Funding projects that make a difference quality of life that will enable them to retain their citizens and attract new ones to live, work and play there. Suburban and rural areas struggle with issues of growth, sometimes more growth and sometimes less growth than they desire, but no less challenging. I believe that the people of Pennsylvania need PEC to help provide workable answers to these challenges. Our organizations has a unique track record of attracting people representing all interests around the state to come together to develop environmental solutions that work for Pennsylvania. Our hallmark tools of innovation, education, collaboration and advocacy are keys to making that work. As we look ahead to the next 40 years, we are grateful to those who came before us to show the

Leader (1918-2013), a native of York, Pennsylvania, rose from the anonymous status of chicken farmer's son and Gettysburg College undergraduate to become, first a State Senator, and then the 36th governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A steadfast liberal in a traditionally conservative state, Leader spent his brief time in the governor's office (1955-1959) fighting uphill battles and blazing courageous trails. He overhauled the state's corrupt patronage system; streamlined and humanized its mental health apparatus; and, when a black family moved into the white enclave of Levittown, took a brave stand in favor of integration.

    A Smart Choice for a Solid Start: Pre-K Works – So Why Not PA?

    A Smart Choice for a Solid Start: Pre-K Works – So Why Not PA? What do Governor Tom Wolf, former governors Tom Corbett, Ed Rendell, Mark Schweiker and more than 130 Democratic and Republican members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly have in common? Give up? They all have been strong supporters of high-quality pre-k for Pennsylvania’s 3- and 4- year olds. Over the past three years, our state policymakers have increased commonwealth support by $90 million to ensure nearly 10,000 additional at-risk children are able to attend a high-quality pre-k classroom. And, this budget season is no different as Governor Wolf has proposed another $40 million increase. Children only have one chance to be preschoolers and benefit from early learning opportunities. They don’t get a do-over when the commonwealth is on better financial ground, or policymakers agree that it’s their turn to be at the top of the budget priority list. Today in Pennsylvania, there are only enough public funds to make high-quality, publicly funded pre-k available to 39 percent of at-risk 3- and 4-year-olds. As a result, many low- income families cannot find or afford high quality pre-k essential to their children's success. A growing body of research has shown that by the age of five, a child’s brain will have reached 90 percent of its adult size with more than one million neural connections forming every second,i but not every child is provided with the stimulating environments and nurturing interactions that can develop those young minds to their fullest potential.

    Voters Support Corbett on NCAA Lawsuit, Still Down on Him Overall

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 7, 2013 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Voters support Corbett on NCAA lawsuit, still down on him overall Raleigh, N.C. – Pennsylvania voters support Tom Corbett's lawsuit against the NCAA...but it's still not doing much to improve his overall political fortunes. 52% of voters support Corbett's lawsuit against the NCAA over its sanctions against Penn State, while 34% are opposed to it. That's a reflection of the fact that 62% of Pennsylvanians think the sanctions against the school were too strict, compared to only 27% who think they were 'about right' and 8% who think they were too lenient. 49% of voters in the state consider themselves to be fans of the Nittany Lions, and among those folks there's 63/23 support for the lawsuit. Despite the support for Corbett on the lawsuit, voters are still unhappy with his overall handling of the Penn State situation over the last few years. Only 27% approve of the way he's dealt with it to 50% who disapprove. That's contributing to overall approval numbers that continue to be very poor- only 38% of voters are happy with the job he's doing to 52% who disapprove. We tested Corbett against 8 potential opponents for reelection in 2014, and he polls at only 40-42% against every one of them. The only one he actually trails in a head to head is his predecessor, Ed Rendell, who would start out with a 46/40 advantage were he to attempt the comeback.
