On Wednesday, the THIS interns were fortunate enough to meet with Governor Ed Rendell. We introduced ourselves and had a brief discussion with him. He thanked us for interning, saying it was especially helpful to have extra workers with the budget cuts. Governor Rendell called the cuts cost saving. One of his goals as Governor was to trim wasteful spending and increase governmental efficiency. (He cut $1.75 billion out of the cost of government operations.) The interns were grateful to have the opportunity to meet Governor Rendell.
