Short on specifics and long on fluff

I had a typical day in Harrisburg with a number of constituent meetings, session, caucus, a reception and a dinner with staff.  I met another Airedale owner on the street today in front of the capitol, her dog’s name was Chelsea; it was nice to see a friendly face.  We had some discussions today about looking at privatization and more discussions about the fallacies of the Governor’s energy plan.  We need to stay focused on the facts and the administration’s arguments will not hold up.  Everyone is in favor of a better environment.  Some of us believe in having proven scientific facts guide our decisions, not rhetoric that sounds good in a bite on the evening news.  The Governor’s address yesterday was short on specifics and long on fluff.  This has been the mantra for his energy initiative, if it feels good do it, or at least propose it.
