This is a Trump +18 district that includes Cranberry, Harmony, and Zelienople. While the main election will take place in November, Dukes winning represents a big shift towards democrats even in an exurb of Pittsburgh.
Also a reminder that with a few over performances like this in November Democrats could control both houses of the PA legislature for the first time this century.
These are the most important issues to the republicans in rural western PA. Nevermind the opioid epidemic or the fact that the population is shrinking because there is zero industry here. The biggest issue should definitely be mass deportation or voter ID.
The guy who lies all day about election integrity in Pennsylvania doesn’t think election laws in Pennsylvania apply to him…
Thoughts?
Hey y'all. My band Cherokee Social is going on a massive 50 date US tour this fall and I need to book a show on either September 17th or 18th in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia is preferred but we can make anything work. I've found the locals usually have a better feel for the music scene than just googling music venues in the area. We are a high energy indie pop act and so we are looking for something that has a decent sound system.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
They keep calling me and sending me emails asking me to reduce my energy use during specific times. Like how about no? Why don't you ask a data center to do that instead? They are also like ranking me amongst my neighbors? What kind of dystopian shit is this? I'm in Franklin county.
I reached out to my representative about my concerns regarding flock cameras and there are two co sponsor memos which doesn't seem like a lot but I guess it's a first step. The better memo (49047) requires a warrant for a flock camera to be used to find an individual and signs would need to be posted that a flock camera was there, similar to speed enforcement signs. The other memo (49059) prohibits third party access to data without the police department's consent. Reach out to your representative to let them know your thoughts.
I was a passenger when I spotted this.
Hope House of Cumberland Valley will dedicate the start of construction for the home “dedicated exclusively to survivors of domestic abuse” on Thursday with a ceremony at 101 G Street in Carlisle.
The transition home is set to be 13,000 square feet. Residents will be able to stay for up to two years while “participating in individualized, trauma-informed programs designed to help them heal, achieve financial independence, and prepare for permanent housing.” There will also be private family accommodations, children’s play areas, community gathering rooms, secure outdoor healing spaces and spaces for counseling and education.
“Leaving an abusive relationship is often only the beginning of a survivor’s journey,” Laurie Fitzgerald, Executive Director of Hope House of Cumberland Valley, said in a press release. “Without safe, affordable housing, too many women face impossible choices. Hope House will provide not only security, but the time, support, and hope needed to rebuild their lives.”
The explosion of sports betting is a cancer for vulnerable people. The state is getting revenue from creating financially ruinious addictions.
