Two state Senate bills, SB 1022 and 1023, have recently been introduced and sent to the Senate State Government Committee, now chaired by Republican Sen. John DiSanto of Perry and Dauphin counties.
Perhaps I haven’t been following the debate closely enough concerning changing the basis for school taxes. Thus, I have a question based on my understanding. Why does it need to be all or nothing? Why not cut school property taxes in half, say, and make up the difference with other taxes? I …
The president describes the media outlets he doesn’t agree with as “the enemy of the people” and claims if you want to know the truth you should only listen to him.
“Drawdown” (Paul Hawken, 2017), a New York Times bestseller, is an inspiring, easy-to-read book about global warming. With beautiful photos, “Drawdown” gives specific ways we can actually reverse global warming today. It contains 200 of the most substantive solutions (with projected costs an…

First of all, Pennsylvania voters must demand that all legislators have 12-year term limits and all legislators’ salaries must be capped at $60,000. Eliminate all perks, end fully funded health care and end retirement plans for life for all legislators and their families now!
In this crazy and unpredictable world of viruses, political upheaval, anxiety and unrest, I think it is important for us to single out our hometown heroes, those who go on each day selflessly doing their part to promote a safe and healthy environment for our students.
Under Republican President George H.W. Bush, the Clean Air Act of 1963 was amended (in 1990) with the result that hundreds of thousands of deaths were prevented and trillions of dollars saved. Currently, the Trump administration is undoing that piece of legislation, putting thousands of Amer…
