I don't even know why they called him Tik Tok dad? Literally, it was all about the accident and the drunk driver until the last paragraph, and it only said he reached out on Tik Tok to raise funds for the funeral.

How ridiculous.

All that aside, how tragic. I feel sorry for this family, this girl, the driver and his family.

Let's hope we never hear of another drunken driver.

I don't disagree, but the governor does do things like campaign on behalf of bills they agree with, and have a louder voice than state representatives. Also, they have that veto power.

But that aside, even if the governor had more power, OP still was incorrect in that it happened during Rendell's watch and not Corbett's.

Whoa, let's remember Rendell also supported the gas companies and was governor in 2008 (you know the start of the boom).

Corbett was governor in 2011, long after drilling started. He merely continued Rendell's policy. The gasoline tax was at the very end of his term and was bipartisan.

Not saying Corbett was a great governor, but let's get our facts straight. Rendell was the one in office when these things were being decided, was critical of NY for having a moratorium on drilling, and later went to work for a firm with investments in fracking.
