  • 2020 PA Primary Developments & Notes Republican PA GOP House
    2020 PA Primary Developments & Notes Republican PA GOP House and Senate Goals in November General Election: Although there are 17 Democratic-held seats in districts that Trump won, the release specifically pinpointed House Districts 33, 55, 72, and 123 as “just a few targets for Republicans” in the upcoming election. House Minority Leader Frank Dermody (D-Allegheny) represents the least Trump friendly district of those four targets, with the president carrying the 33rd state House District by 5 points over Sec. Hillary Clinton in 2016, according to DailyKos. Dermody’s closest reelection bid since the last two presidential elections was in 2014 when he fended off Republican Sean Watson by 6 points, according to Ballotpedia. Dermody is slated to face Carrie DelRosso, an Oakmont Borough Councilmember and businesswoman, for the seat in the fall. State Rep. Frank Burns (D-Cambria) represents the most Trump friendly district of the four targets with Trump winning the 72nd state House District by 43 points over Clinton in 2016. Burns’ closest reelection bid since the past two presidential elections was in 2018 when he edged out Republican Gerald Carnicella by 5 points, according to Ballotpedia. Burns will face Republican Howard Terndrup for his reelection bid in November. State Rep. Joe Petrarca’s (D-Westmoreland) 55th state House District is also very favorable to Trump with the president carrying his district by 33 points in 2016, according to DailyKos. Petrarca ran unopposed in 2018 and his closest reelection bid since the past two presidential elections was in 2012 when he defeated Republican John Hauser, although his 2016 victory over Republican Michael Geiselhart was a 13 point win, according to Ballotpedia.

  • University Integrations Public Comments Batch 2 (5/27/21
    DATE PLAN GROUP OTHER COMMENT / SOURCE INFORMATION NAME (GROUP) 5/27/2021 5:56 Northeast Staff, I am very much supportive of the integration. I think it will provide needed changes in structure given the new climate of higher Ed, along with Plan Alumni/ increased opportunities for students throughout the triad. Donor However, I was so disappointed to hear that Recreation Management was not listed in the program array. I believe this is a mistake and does not support the working needs of PA (as almost all of our graduates stay in PA). These individuals staff YMCAs, youth programs, state parks, event centers, venues, and so much more. This program provides skills and necessary curriculum to make students successful in these fields. This program is filled with students who are truly passionate about their coursework and the prospect of bettering the future. This is the only program of its kind to be offered within the triad and Lock Haven University is the ideal location. With hard decisions to be made, I don’t doubt that we can take a harder look at programs and efficiencies, but I ask you to reconsider eliminating the Recreation Management program. I am confident by eliminating this program you will be doing this triad and the state a disservice. 5/27/2021 7:40 West Plan Alumni/ Auxiliary Please define Brand Identity" will remain in tact needs defined with examples and how the alumni can identify with that definition. Change is Donor, employee tough and specifics to how it relates to alumni (plaid, boro, logos, EUP, traditions) would be helpful.

    August 2017 Sottile Fashions jewelry. Jennifer estimates that 30 percent of the items in her store by Dan Kaczmarski are Sottile compression shapewear. Her design choices are steered by her own desire to be both fashionable and comfortable. “We as women probably take more upon ourselves than we should. When I was getting back on my feet, I felt that I was supposed to look a certain way. In reality, I just wanted to be comfortable. There’s no reason you can’t be comfortable and stylish at the same time.” Jennifer knows that in some peoples’ minds boutique equals pricey. “I know what it’s like to want to look nice, but say ‘Why in the world is this so expensive?’ I try to carry pieces that you can’t find in corporate stores, just to be different and unique, and I always try to keep it classy and up-to-date on the latest styles and trends. But I also try to keep it affordable. I don’t want people to be shy of coming in and to say, ‘I might as well not go in; I can’t afford it.’” Sottile Fashions, Brookline Blvd. The items in her store start in price from $19.99 and no piece Ray Feather Photography is more than $60.

That is why, in recent newspaper articles and commentary, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) has called for a radical restructuring of the board. In recent days, we have also been pleased to submit guidance on specific issues of board governance to the Pennsylvania Auditor General as he prepares to provide you with a special report. Since, ultimately, you—members of the legislature—will be responsible for any statutory changes, I want to take the opportunity to highlight some recommendations. By way of introduction, ACTA is an independent nonprofit organization devoted to academic freedom, academic excellence, and accountability in higher education. For over 15 years, ACTA has worked with policymakers and trustees across the country to promote academic quality and affordability. Our Institute for Effective Governance focuses specifically on higher education governance.

    Volume 96, Number 2 October 2012 www.asce-pgh.org Pensylvania Kicks the Can Down the Road “So tell me what you want, what you really, really want.” 1997. What were you doing in 1997? How old were your kids? What car did you drive? Bob Carlisle’s “Butterfly Kisses” was the #12 hit. The Spice Girls had 3 top hits in 1997. Basic Cable TV was $29.52 per month. A postage stamp was 29¢. Republican Tom Ridge was Governor. Three Rivers Stadium existed. 1997 Construction Cost Index: 5825. August, 2012 CCI was 9351, up 60%. The PA Liquid Fuel tax, to maintain our roads, was 12¢ per gallon. It still is. In 2012, the Oil Franchise Tax also remains at 19.2¢ per gallon. In 2012, 17% of Pennsylvania bridges are structurally deficient, and 800 must be replaced, and all average over 50 years old. About 20% of the workers in the Pennsylvania Construction industry are unemployed, with 3,300 less in August. In 1997 the Pennsylvania unemployment rate was about 5.1%. After the inflation adjustment to the tax, the rate declined to about 4.2%. In August, 2012 it was 8.1%. Following a nearly decade-long effort in crafting and advocating legislation designed to explore and create public-private partnerships (P3) in transportation, this summer Gov. Tom Corbett signed House Bill 3 into law, making it Act 88 of 2012.
