Whoever made that ad should be sued into oblivion.

"Cosmetics companies can no longer test their products on animals or sell any products that have been tested on animals under legislation that passed through both chambers of the Pennsylvania General Assembly this week...the measure will also allow research facilities that use dogs and cats for testing to offer them up for adoption."

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the University of Pennsylvania claiming that a police officer fired a Taser at 52-year-old Ronald Harmon and caused the injury that killed him.

WITF spoke to Stelson's neighbor who made the allegations. When asked about the claims, the neighbor said, "No comment," speaking through her video doorbell. How did WITF find her? Perry's campaign shared her name on accident. Details in the story (it's free, our work is always free).

French Creek State Park - Oct 2026
Out for the Season

Scott's Run Lake at French Creek State Park, while the breeze stirred the waters, and moved the colors across the lake, this large branch isn't participating this year.

Just moved to the area from out of state and decided to go on a walk in the historic East Harrisburg Cemetery. For background, my family owns a funeral home and I worked at a historic cemetery in New York City for two years, with previous historic site experience before that.

I am by no means someone who likes the modern, traditional cemetery look. I think it's tacky, boring, and sterile. However, I'm confused about the East Harrisburg Cemetery. Does anyone work there? It's so overgrown, has dead trees falling in between row and groundhog holes are literally everywhere.

The cemetery has so much potential as an active cemetery but also as a historic landmark. Is it supposed to look like this? Is that the vibe?

The website has 0 information and all of the Yelp reviews are predictably bad, but there's like none.

I'm also from a rural region with an urban inner city that had 0 funding, so I get it if that's the vibe. But like what????

Union leaders from 10 fire departments across Pennsylvania condemned Rep. Ryan Mackenzie and Republicans for using the state's first fallen firefighters memorial as a political against Bob Brooks.

I think it's really silly that we as a state don't offer any form of early in-person voting aside from mail-in (EDIT: I'm wrong about this, but it's still very much not a graceful solution and is poorly advertised enough that I couldn't find it while researching before making this post), and while dropping mail-in votes at designated boxes certainly is nice, I don't really think it works as a full substitution.

In theory, what would be the best way for a concentrated effort to get rolling to get this state on board with early voting in future elections?

On a windy day in February of 2024, as a winter storm was brewing in a small Pennsylvania township in Luzerne County, the township’s lawyer scored a lucrative contract that would bring him a payout of at least $450,000.

Salem Township’s solicitor, Anthony McDonald, and his law firm made a deal for McDonald’s work related to an Amazon data center: his law firm would get 7.5% of the final amount that Amazon would pay the township as part of a community benefits agreement — a legal contract between developers and local governments to compensate residents, ideally, for costs associated with the project.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) owns the data center in Salem Township. Because Amazon wholly owns AWS, this story refers to AWS simply as Amazon.

Good day everyone. I have a unique situation and am in need of a Master Plumber that can work and pull permits in the Reading area. The Plumber must have all their paperwork/certifications in order. If you know of anyone, please send me their information. Thank you.
