Some state lawmakers, once again, are pushing proposals to expand gaming by adding slot machines to pizza parlors, convenience stores, gas stations and bars in every community in the state.

Cite speeders and pay for I-83 South Bridge repairs | PennLive letters

As an alternative to a toll on the South Bridge to pay for repairs, perhaps our PA State Police would do their job and cite the speeders and reckless drivers using the bridge, especially trucks.

So police no longer patrol by air. Coincidence?
By the way, where are all the new troopers that graduated from the academy? They sure aren’t out on the roads. If they are, they just sit and watch traffic. Our roads and highways are a killing zone and no one does anything about it. Every time there is a rash of accidents there is hand wringing ‚questions, studies, and surveys as to the causes. The answer in 90% of the cases is simple, speeding, but no one is doing anything about it.
