Judy Trombetta earned a decisive victory against incumbent Greg Vitali who has held the PA House of Representatives District 166 seat since 1993 (!!!)

The election results were on a nearly 2:1 margin.

How are we feeling?

As the debate showed several weeks ago, this was a race between two candidates who showed more difference in work style than necessarily their positions on key interests. That said, Vitali’s single-issue focus on climate is something rare in modern politics.

Change can be good but I do thank Mr. Vitali for his service and commitment to progressive environmental policy all these years… nearly my entire life.

We had a Wicked Witch joke, a mob warning, and council still managed to approve $7 million in affordable housing funds. Check it out..

Boland faces a year in jail as the first criminal trial of pro-Palestine campus protesters in the Philly region heads to Delaware County court.

I understand that Delaware County did not have a Department of Health until Covid struck. And it’s becoming painfully clear or apparent to me that maybe there’s no such thing as a highway department or a road department. Why does this county not even try to maintain its roads? Why does this county allowed companies like Miller Brothers construction to go out and destroy damn near every single stretch of roadway in the county and leave it like that for multiple years? Where is the fucking leadership?
