State Senator, Wayne Fontana, D, and State Rep, Jake Wheatley, D, issued a press release on July 14, 2006, raving about the pending makeover of Point State Park. Meanwhile, Independent candidate for PA Senate and swim coach, Mark Rauterkus, 46, of Pittsburgh South Side, says, "Think Again!" "I'd stop this program in its tracks if I was elected," Rauterkus said, a candidate in the November 7, 2006 general election for PA Senate (42nd). "This goes to show that Senator Fontana and Representative Wheatley are clueless as to how to fix the ills of the region."
