Gov. Tom Corbett is making good on his pledge to be more visible - in particular here in the Philadelphia suburbs, as he cranks up his re-election campaign.
The governor will be in Delaware County this morning.
And if you're wondering what we're getting for that hit we're taking at the gas pump after the state Legislature passed that $2.3 billion transportation bill, the governor has an answer for you.
Corbett will be at the Secane train station this morning to talk about the renovations there and surrounding stops on the Media-Elwyn line.
Corbett is expcted to detail a big expansion of the Secane station parking lot, something that is being funded in part with money coming from the transportation bill.
Corbett will be joined by Republican state Reps. Bill Adolph, R-165, of Springfield, and Nick Micozzie, R-163, of Upper Darby. Adolph is head of the Appropriations Committee; Micozzie heads the Transportation Committee.
It's hard to underestimate the kind of pull these guys have. It's called clout, and it usually means money flowing back into Delaware County.
In this instance, you might call it the "rail deal."
