About the Program

Ed Rendell, former governor of Pennsylvania and mayor of Philadelphia, argues that many politicians are more interested in securing office than working for their constituents.   Mr. Rendell contends that both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of focusing on poll numbers rather than obtaining relevant information on the issues of the day.  Ed Rendell speaks at the Free Library of Philadelphia.
