Today in budget hearings, we heard from the Office of Property Assessment and right now, we have not had any improvements in our processes and it is costing our City millions in lost revenue. We need stronger, more efficient processes in reference to our commercial appeals that ensure we’re collecting what’s owed.

This is a defining moment for the School Board. If they move forward with today’s vote without the changes the community and Councilmembers have been asking for, there will be consequences at the ballot box.

Inbox: Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday and 24 other attorney generals have sent letters to nine credit card and payment processing companies asking for them to help block payments for illegal vaping products. attorneygeneral.gov/wp-content/upl…

Pennsylvania has the lowest legally allowed minimum wage in the country.
Every state surrounding Pennsylvania - including West Virginia - has a higher minimum wage.
This puts PA at an economic disadvantage when it comes to attracting workers & bringing in tax revenue.

Have businesses looked at what teams are playing here? Iraq isn’t exactly going bring a ton of fans… you’re basically gouging local customers or worse giving them incentive to not attend anything at all. This whole “economic” boost relies on people from the region spending $

BREAKING: Connecticut House passed a bill to require parents to prove their innocence before allowing them to homeschool.
The vote was 96–53.
It's on the Senate calendar.
Connecticut may be the first state to go backwards on homeschool freedom in the last 50 years.

@FischerKing64 Jus Soli was inherited from England where its been law since medieval times. I agree this would never pass and that the SC will rule in favor of keeping it the way it is.

This is a fine idea, but dead on arrival in the USA of 2026. You would need 2/3 of the House and the Senate, and 38 state legislatures, for this to become law. We can't even pass balanced budgets, every SCOTUS confirmation is a street fight. This ship has sailed.

I am introducing a Constitutional Amendment to end Birthright Citizenship. Under current interpretations of American law, anyone born on American soil automatically becomes a U.S. citizen, regardless of whether the parent was here legally or not. This is wrong and not at all the intent of those who wrote the 14th Amendment. We are a country filled with immigrants, and legal immigration is valuable and should be protected. But we are also a country whose borders have been too open and our generosity exploited too often. President Trump has moved to seal our border from illegal immigrants more than any other president. But we will have more to do. We need to make sure that only children born to legal residents of the U.S. are automatically citizens. I have supported protecting birthright citizenship from abuse since the beginning of my tenure in the Senate, when I cosponsored the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011, and now I am proposing an amendment to protect United States citizenship in case the Supreme Court fails to address this issue correctly.

There's a general store with 2 gas pumps down the road from us in rural Kentucky. It's the last one in our county that hasn't been bought up by foreigners and converted into a kratom/vape emporium. In December, we bought it.

@StephenJ_Caruso The governor appoints the 5 PUC commissioners, he cant set rates, but we know how the tit-for-tat works
English
Per four sources, Gov. Josh Shapiro sent a letter to an unknown number of "utility leaders" yesterday asking for more cost-effective financing and more transparency when requesting rate hikes. His office does not exercise control over rates but does hold a vast bully pulpit.

@PhillyGov I'd rather have the $3 roastbeef from a crockpot at a dive bar in Essington than an $16 plate of seedoil fries
English
It is crazy how bad food used to be. You would stop in a town on a road trip and PRAY they had an Applebee's otherwise you were probably stuck a greasy spoon diner burger or some takeout Chinese. Now even dive bars have sweet potato fries.

The millennial craft movement vastly improved American gastronomy and I refuse to let zoomers with no cultural memory of the bland garbage we ate and drank 20 years ago meme me into thinking it is cringe.

@SGTWipper1Each Let's work backwards here, what funding can we end and still be able to function effectively as a society?

What kinds of taxes could we realistically get rid of and still be able to function effectively as a society?

@harrisonfinberg That money will just vanish into thin air and evictions will still be at a snails pace and rare.
The sheriffs office is ruined and new leadership is not enough to fix it. It's on council to fix it so naturally....
English
Yes. Give her the money and make sure this happens. I can not stress enough, subscale workforce housing is impossible if evictions take 8 months. And there are way more scam artist tenants taking advantage than you think, whatever you’d expect- it’s ALOT more.

@chuck_wolfe @jimiuorio Socialism is state ownership of the means of production, it's an economic system.

Many people have tried to explain to me the difference between socialism and communism and i still don’t really get it…I guess it seems like this…both systems take all the money and stuff of the productive people but in socialism those people pretend it’s fine??
