The legislature STILL controls it. Governors have no real power.

I don't disagree, but the governor does do things like campaign on behalf of bills they agree with, and have a louder voice than state representatives. Also, they have that veto power.

But that aside, even if the governor had more power, OP still was incorrect in that it happened during Rendell's watch and not Corbett's.
