Sen. Specter gave his farewell speech on the floor of the Senate yesterday and the U.S. Census released its initial Census information. Pa. is going to lose a seat in the U.S. House. Papers across the state want to know which congressional districts will be redrawn and in what way. Pat Meehan was named a subcommittee chairman; something very few freshman congressman are ever given the opportunity to do, Gov. Rendell is throwing a farewell party for himself and concern is growing about the finances of the Philadelphia school district. Good Wednesday morning and welcome to the Buzz, where we are putting the final touches on our list of the biggest rising stars in Pa. politics.
