Although some social scientists argue that multiple local governments lead to more efficient tax and service levels because consumers can shop for the package that best fits their needs, even proponents of that view would agree that government policies can distort the market for efficient tax-service packages. There is reason to believe that Pennsylvania has distorted that market. Perhaps alone among the states, the Commonwealth does not require municipalities to provide police protection, fire protection, or to take care of thousands of miles of essentially local roads.

    _ ______ A An Update on P Environmental _ Issues in Environment Digest Pennsylvania Edited By David E. Hess, Crisci Associates April 21, 2008 PA Environment Digest Video Blog 16,000 Miles of Polluted Streams Add Urgency to Call for Clean Water Funding Clean water is a right, not an option, yet a newly released report shows that more Pennsylvania streams are losing the battle against pollution this year than in past years, according to the Department of Environmental Protection, adding urgency to the call last week for a PA Fair Share for Clean Water funding plan . The report, “The 2008 Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report,” shows that nearly 16,000 of Pennsylvania’s 86,000 miles of streams and rivers do not meet water quality standards. In addition, over 38,300 acres of lakes and ponds are similarly impaired. In addition to commending DEP for their work in obtaining the data, CBF recognized the report as a valuable tool for watershed groups and citizens interested in improving local water quality. “Approximately half of Pennsylvania’s streams drain to the Chesapeake Bay. With nearly 16,000 miles of our streams laden with pollution, it’s no wonder the Bay is suffering,” said Harry Campbell, CBF’s Pa Staff Scientist. “At its heart, the Bay restoration effort is about respecting and restoring our streams—the streams in our own backyard. If we find the political and societal will do that, the Bay will respond in-kind.” The report, first released in 1998, is released every two years, as an on-going assessment of Pennsylvania’s waterways in order to determine the stream miles impaired and the causes of impairment.

    Contract with the Pennsylvania St

    December 7, 2010 The Honorable Edward G. Rendell Governor Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 225 Main Capitol Building Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17120 Dear Governor Rendell: This report contains the results of the Department of the Auditor General‟s special investigation of the Pennsylvania Department of the Community and Economic Development (“DCED”), specifically, Contract No. 4000008729 with the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors (“PSATS”) for training services. The investigation was initiated after the Department of the Auditor General received an allegation that PSATS was overbilling the Commonwealth for services provided. Our investigation was hindered by PSATS‟ failure to promptly provide complete and accurate information to the investigators. Although it is formally organized as an unincorporated non-profit association, PSATS is, in fact, a large business enterprise and, as such, should be able to provide original records and other basic information to support its invoices to the Commonwealth. Accordingly, we are constrained to draw the adverse inference that its failure to provide all of the original records requested and complete and accurate information on a timely basis was done purposely to prevent our investigation from uncovering problems with PSATS‟ billings to the Commonwealth. We were also hindered by the lack of detail provided on PSATS‟ invoices to DCED, in that the format of the invoices does not lend itself to being substantiated. Despite these obstacles, our investigation found the following: The now-former Executive Director of PSATS received compensation averaging $407,608 per year in calendar years 2004 through 2008, which is excessive when compared to others in similar positions and which may be in violation of federal and state laws restricting the use of the net earnings of a nonprofit organization.
