Harrisburg Mayor Eric Papenfuse, with the help of a mighty $48.8 million breeze blowing in from Washington, D.C., is calling for the establishment of a guaranteed income program in Harrisburg to help the city’s poorest residents and attack generational poverty.
Papenfuse says the plan, which is little more than a campaign pledge in the midst of a hotly contested primary at the moment, but one he expects to develop into a proposal for City Council’s consideration later this spring, would send monthly payments for up to two years to residents living below yet-to-be-determined income-eligibility thresholds.

“You would cry too if it happened to you!”
The Republican Party in Pennsylvania appears to be having its own Lesley Gore moment now, as a number of county party committees have taken action this week to condemn the U.S. Senator Pat Toomey, R-Allentown, for his vote last week to convict former President Donald J. Trump of inciting violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Former Penn State President Graham Spanier persists in fight against Jerry Sandusky-related conviction

Former Penn State President Graham Spanier is continuing to battle back against his 2017 conviction on child endangerment charges.

Former Penn State President Graham Spanier will continue his long legal crusade against being tagged as bearing criminal responsibility - and serving a jail sentence - for the child sex abuse crimes of former PSU football assistant Jerry Sandusky at least one step further.
But perhaps just as important to a person who once was considered a national leader in higher education is avoiding the ignominy of a criminal conviction that Spanier and many of his friends and supporters see as the height of prosecutorial overreach.

Central Pennsylvanians will have a brief window this morning to pick up bread, milk and any other necessities before they’re stuck inside under at least a foot of snow, forecasters said.
Snow flurries are likely to begin by noon, but the worst of the storm isn’t coming until 6 or 7 p.m., according to Rachel Gutierrez, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. By that point, two to three inches of snow could be accumulating per hour.
