PENNSYLVANIA NEWSPAPERS local credible reliable connected COVER STORY Lt. Gov. Mike Stack vowed to seek re-election amid an investigation into his treatment of staff and security. But there’s enough time for another Democrat to knock him off. » BRAD BUMSTED + PAULA KNUDSEN BLAINE»T.»SHAHAN»FOR»THE»CAUCUS Above and opposite: Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor Mike Stack called a news conference in his office in the state Capitol on April 12 to address the inspector general’s investigation into his treatment of staff and security. n the heels of a disclosure by The Caucus of an inspector general’s investigation into his behavior, Lt. Gov. Mike Stack now enters the 2018 Democratic primary contest for lieutenant governor with official baggage. That Gov. Tom Wolf asked for the probe is extremely revealing in and of itself. Wolf’s move is “really unusual,” said Saladin Ambar, chairman of the political science department at Lehigh University, Owhere he teaches and writes about U.S. governors. Stack now runs the risk of having an opponent endorsed and funded by Wolf, or someone who runs independently, political analysts say. But how this plays out for Wolf and Stack depends, in large part, on what the probe by Inspector General Bruce Beemer finds and whether a report is released to the taxpayers who paid for it. Neither Wolf nor the now-apologetic year state senator, won the five-person Stack have promised to do so.

  • Governor's Advisory Commission on Postsecondary Education
    Governor’s Advisory Commission on Postsecondary Education: REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS November 14, 2012 Letter from the Commission Pennsylvania has long been recognized for offering abundant and diverse opportunities for postsecondary education. Our tremendous asset includes the universities of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, the state-related universities, the community colleges, private colleges and universities, research and graduate institutions, adult education and family literacy providers, private licensed schools, proprietary institutions, specialized associate degree-granting institutions and business, trade, and technical schools that offer vocational programs. The Governor‘s charge was to create a multi-year framework that would sustain and enhance the commonwealth‘s postsecondary education system, while serving the needs of students and employers for the 21st century. During the course of our discussions, we pondered questions such as: What types of collaborations will be needed within the next 5-10 years to meet Pennsylvania‘s labor demands, to achieve sector efficiencies and to increase accessibility and affordability for all users? What role should government and state policymakers play in helping achieve these goals? What best practices exist regionally, nationally and globally that could be held as standards for replication? What strategies would be needed to overcome potential barriers that could stand in the way of making these changes? We deliberated as a commission and listened to members of the public and expert speakers from all regions of the commonwealth. We clearly heard the call for businesses, government and education providers to collectively meet the needs of lifelong learners, increase student readiness, improve business/education partnerships, provide greater accountability to commonwealth taxpayers and users of the system, increase flexibility in delivery and provide strategic financial investments based on performance.

Box 1773 Carlisle, PA 17013 717-245-1399 [email protected] THREE MILE ISLAND June 1994 315 Peffer Street, Harrisburg, PA 17102-1834 Telephone: 717/233-3072 200+ Attend 15th Anniversary Conference More than 200 safe-energy activists from 20 states, several Indian nations, and five countries gathered here in late March to observe the 15th anniversary of the beginning of the accident at TMI. The event was organized by TMIA with assistance from several national safe-energy groups including NIRS, Public Citizen, Safe Energy Communications Council, Friends of the Earth, and Greenpeace. Over March 26 and 27 workshops were held dealing with nuclear waste issues, reactor decommis­ sioning, radiation monitoring, health effects, alternatives to nuclear power, the national nuclear policy, the proposed DOE energy budget (see below), reactor license renewal and safety deregula­ tion, the continuing TMI clean-up, and others designed to provide radioactivists with the skills neces­ sary to carry on the crusade for safe energy. Keynote speaker Ed Smeloff, the director of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), ex­ plained how SMUD closed the problem-plagued Rancho Seco reactor and how they now plan to make up for the power loss through aggressive energy conservation, efficiency, and renewable en­ ergy programs. Harrisburg's own Jane Perkins, now president of the Friends of the Earth, called for more grassroots activity across America with a focus on Washington, including a national safe-energy lobby day in Congress once or twice each year.

The Honorable David Sweet (DS): Hello, Jesse. How are you? JT: I‟m well, thank you. DS: Good. JT: I‟m sitting here with David Sweet, who represented the 48th District, a Democrat from Washington County, from 1977 to 1988. Thank you for being with me. DS: Well, thank you for having me. It‟s great to be able to memorialize some of the memories and the things that happened over the years while I was in the Legislature, and I‟m not sure, like many things, I‟m not sure anyone will ever view this or read it, but it‟s probably good to have it all on the record. It‟s great. JT: Absolutely, absolutely. What I‟d like to do is start out just by asking you some questions about your early life. DS: Sure. JT: Tell me about your childhood, where you grew up, your family, and some of your early education. 2 DS: Well, I grew up in Washington, Pennsylvania, which is a little town. It was about 20 thousand then – it‟s probably not much more than 12 or 13 thousand now –25 miles southwest of Pittsburgh. JT: Okay. DS: And Washington – Little Washington to some people because people would drive through – Route 40 was the old national pike, and the interstate was actually built when I was a very small child that went around Washington, Pennsylvania, but many people knew of Washington, Pennsylvania, because they had to slog right through the main street of the town, as you did many towns before the interstate highway system, and it was Little Washington, but it was a good little town.

  • A Smart Choice for a Solid Start: Pre-K Works – So Why Not PA?
    A Smart Choice for a Solid Start: Pre-K Works – So Why Not PA? What do Governor Tom Wolf, former governors Tom Corbett, Ed Rendell, Mark Schweiker and more than 130 Democratic and Republican members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly have in common? Give up? They all have been strong supporters of high-quality pre-k for Pennsylvania’s 3- and 4- year olds. Over the past three years, our state policymakers have increased commonwealth support by $90 million to ensure nearly 10,000 additional at-risk children are able to attend a high-quality pre-k classroom. And, this budget season is no different as Governor Wolf has proposed another $40 million increase. Children only have one chance to be preschoolers and benefit from early learning opportunities. They don’t get a do-over when the commonwealth is on better financial ground, or policymakers agree that it’s their turn to be at the top of the budget priority list. Today in Pennsylvania, there are only enough public funds to make high-quality, publicly funded pre-k available to 39 percent of at-risk 3- and 4-year-olds. As a result, many low- income families cannot find or afford high quality pre-k essential to their children's success. A growing body of research has shown that by the age of five, a child’s brain will have reached 90 percent of its adult size with more than one million neural connections forming every second,i but not every child is provided with the stimulating environments and nurturing interactions that can develop those young minds to their fullest potential.
