Gov Rendell urges focus on solar energy aid school health insurance reform and electricity rate stabilization while concerns grow over transportation funding pension shortfalls and a looming $1.8 billion federal borrowing need. The political climate hampers long term infrastructure and reform plans, with debates over Unemployment Trust Fund borrowing and campaign spending reforms fading amid budget pressures.
