A judge has now halted the implementation of Pennsylvania's voter ID law, a law that was enacted more than a year ago. The judge stated that there is not enough time left before the election for residents to get their IDs and still be able to vote. Are you serious? The law is a year old. IDs can be obtained everywhere. At your DMV office, your local library, just about anywhere you go in the state. This country is in a lot of trouble when you can't require someone to prove who he or she is when they show at the polls.
Town Budget Up 2.9%

This can be a dangerous corner. Accident there on Monday afternoon may have been caused by one vehicle going through the Rte 58 red light (according to one witness). No need for speed at that corner.
