This should go without saying but do not call 911 to test if it works.

If service is restored, testing calling 911 without a real emergency will jam up lines and require follow-ups from operators.

Spotted this at the Pennsylvania Governor’s Residence: several large trees have been cut down around the property as it undergoes security upgrades following the arson there earlier this year.

Just how busy is it at the Pennsylvania Capitol todayβ€”amid all the lobbying groups with press conferences, rallies, etc.?

Capitol police had to limit access to the building several times because it was at capacity and any more people would have been a fire hazard.

News: A bill to legalize recreational marijuana in Pennsylvania, and sell it out of state run stores ala wine and liquor, has passed out of a House committee along party lines. The proposal, heavily opposed by the cannabis industry, now goes to the chamber floor.

I spoke with Dauphin County Commissioner George Hartwick, who was back in the office today about a month after he was charged with DUI following what authorities said was a crash in his county-owned vehicle.

"I'm not going anywhere," Hartwick said amid calls for him to resign.

This year’s Broad Street Run was more of a struggle than previous years but it was a blast and I’m proud of being able to participate!

Congrats to everyone who ran today! Great work!
