Former Pittsburgh Steelers star Lynn Swann staged the first money-raising event of his potential gubernatorial campaign on Wednesday, preceding it with criticism of Gov. Ed Rendell's troubled effort to enact property tax reform.
Swann, 53, a Republican, also claimed the Democratic governor has failed to move the state forward in line with promises Rendell made as a candidate in 2002.
"We have to hold an incumbent governor's feet to the fire," Swann maintained. "At this particular point, most Pennsylvanians tend to agree with me: He hasn't done a lot, and we need a change."
At a news conference before his first money-raising event as a potential candidate, Swann said he won't announce a decision any time soon concerning the race.
