Wagner circulating petitions for governor

Former state Auditor General Jack Wagner, a veteran Pittsburgh politician, is circulating nominating petitions to enter the Democratic primary for governor.

"Wagner has every right to run," Rendell said, according to Tent colleague Amy Worden. But the former governor predicted Wagner could be successful only if he "can raise enough funds to go on media in the Southwest. If he doesn't raise funds to go on media hardly anyone will hear about him - - if he doesn't have funds to advertise at a significant level he won't be able to mount a successful campaign."
