I moved to Pennsylvania from Arizona. It sucked readjusting to the changes because Arizona doesn't change. My poor Arizona native wife had never had tondeal with it.

Yeah, I think that's at least a step in the right direction.

You would be very, very surprised at how cheap a politician is willing to sell your future and your children's future for.

Plus, we never get to see how much is donated in other ways to politicians for supporting corporate causes. What other way is there to explain how political figures frequently leave office millions of dollars richer than when they went in?

Bribery, graft, and corruption are rampant throughout the entire American political spectrum.

More than 1000 female student athletes compete in wrestling across the state. Just last week, Perkiomen Valley and Pennridge became the 99th and 100th high schools to add girls' wrestling programs, the minimum number for PIAA to "sanction" a sport.

Dear god this is a pathetic piece of writing

Those issues belong to medical professionals, not so much politics, in my book.

The Republicans have just no direction. But I'm also over the Democrats LGBTQ+ racket. I think we are fucking up a lot of kids with puberty blockers and I can't believe that people are okay with it. I'm progressive but I'm not that progressive.

That's unnecessary overreacting.

People are focused on the 1k donation because that is the subject of this post. On the posts about train derailment, they aren't focused on the donation. There's a direct correlation between the post subject and responses. Why would you expect differently?

I never said said testing isn't a necessary resonse. Please read my comments as I write them.

>We should not be cheering on mediocrity. If you think testing is sufficient response

I Said It is insufficient.

Name-calling? Grow up. Don't reply if you are going to act like a toddler who lacks emotional regulation.

Not really outraged, just offering up an additional point of view, but considering I'm close enough to this issue that I have to get my well tested while the rest of the comments here are fixating on a $1,000 campaign contribution don't you think any outrage would be justified?

>If the 'best help available is free air and water testing, that's pretty pathetic all around, don't you think? Nothing to be cheering for.

Where did I say that I was cheering or that this was all that was being offered?

If you want NS to pay for damages, what do you think needs to be done first to ass the damage?

>The representatives in that area should all be responsible for helping residents in a meaningful manner and for ensuring that the railroads are held accountable.

They have been? I'd make a post about what Marla Gallo Brown and Mike Kelly have been doing but somehow I don't think it would be as well received as a post criticizing a state senator over a $1,000 donation.

>We should not be cheering on mediocrity.

Who's cheering? The world isn't black and white, I can disagree with your assessment of the situation based on my own experience while also not being satisfied with how things are being handled.

> If you think testing is sufficient response, you don't truly understand the problem.

If you don't think testing is a necessary response do you understand what's actually at stake here? This is literally the water we drink and cook with, don't be a twat and downplay it because ou(R) representatives get to take credit for it. Testing is also only the beginning, we won't know what the extent of the actual response is for years.

It's hard to vote republican. I try to go for whoever is truly the better candidate. Both sides are putting up garbage. I've even gone independent, but it's hard to pick anybody to represent us these days.

Say it ain't so!! Y'all let's dust off the pitchforks...a trip to Doug's house is in order. 🤡🤡🤡

Penns creek

I agree, thats why I didn't say that's the way it does work

We would have better results on the state level. I don't see any major change coming from congress in the next half century.

Pretty tough to not pay attention to which super pacs are giving you tens of millions of dollars unfortunately.

Lol God he's so obnoxious. He's got an ego like Trump, but less successful so you're extra confused why he's so full of himself.

I still would believe he didn't know about that check, but:

>Although, might be smarter to look at your funding sources after speaking out.

Couldn't agree more. Dude is an idiot. Gladly voted against him, though I do tend to lean republican.

Sure. But again, weird thing to use as a “gotcha!” You could just look at what he campaigns on and quote it directly and it’ll be way better than this one. You can do this with literally anybody. Politician or not. To assume every single thing they a person is going to be correct is insane. People are wrong at times.

>"Yeah, Paulette, I heard on one of the news stations last night that that rail network is heavy into donating to politicians," Mastriano replied during the February 16 stream. While Mastriano said he couldn't confirm that was the case, "I know my own finances. I didn't get any money from that train network."

Here's what they're posting out. He's blaming democrats and boldly proclaiming that the rail is donating to democrats. HE also claims to know where his money comes from.

It's OK if he didn't know and was put on the spot, but he wasn't. Nobody asked. So he didn't have to say anything.

Although, might mlbe smarter to look at your funding sources after speaking out.

He also joins the platform of deregulation, which is why this whole event happened.

I'm sorry dude but that is vehemently not true LOL police are ALLOWED to carry their firearms at all times, but they are not required to. That would be ridiculous. That means you would never have a moment off work. No point in even taking off your uniform at that point. Google something for 10 seconds before you try to tell people things are a fact. This is what's wrong with the world today is that people just say things that are objectively false and everyone just believes it. Not to mention my neighbor is also a lieutenant police officer in Philadelphia, and he does not conceal or open carry.

Correct. The signers must be registered in the same party as presented on the petition- some candidates can cross file (like School Director) so they could be circulating a D petition and an R petition. Signers must also live in the district that the office represents. Using School Director as example, a person who lives outside the school district cannot sign.

I guess a better way to say it would be that you can sign a petition for a candidate you would be eligible to vote for in the Primary and as many candidates that you would be able to vote for in the Primary.

i have access to a nice stocked lake so i unfortunately wouldn't even know a stream to go to, skook here btw

You seem to be more outraged than anyone I'm seeing here.

If the 'best help available is free air and water testing, that's pretty pathetic all around, don't you think? Nothing to be cheering for. This should not be a partisan recovery effort. The representatives in that area should all be responsible for helping residents in a meaningful manner and for ensuring that the railroads are held accountable. Furthermore, they should be working together to prevent these things from happening again, providing resources for remediation efforts and declaring necessary emergency protocol for immediate and long-term benefits of those affected.

We should not be cheering on mediocrity. If you think testing is sufficient response, you don't truly understand the problem.

It's the one right next to my favorite hunting spot haha
