Such things have happened, like wives getting appointed to replace their husbands, but . . . they probably shouldn't? Gisele rules, but the whole idea seems like something that shouldn't happen.

I'm confused how does the company survive if they make no money?

Millionaires should pay their fair share and the government should use that money to support low income families to prevent homelessness.

1 kid being homeless for 1 day is too many. What's your point? Is there some threshold for how many days a kid needs to be homeless before you care?

By PUC regulation the distribution utility makes no money on the gas they distribute. They pass it through at cost. The other charges on the bill are based on convincing the PUC that the improvements they are making are necessary for continued safe operation.
Unfortunately we have a lot of old pipes in the ground that need updated. That costs money.

I think there are secular ways to tackle that. Like pass into law that the state observes major religious holidays for any group that passes 1% population threshold. No endorsement of specific religion, and broad support for all citizens.

I agree, but I think on principle it should be a holiday. We still need volunteers at the polls, as well as counters, observers, and all that. It'd be good to grow that pool.
And I also wish there was more teeth to declaring a holiday in this country, but that's another issue.

As far as I know, the Governor appoints someone, but I think the appointment only lasts until the next congressional election. So, less than 2 years. Rod Blagoyevich (sp) of Illinois got in trouble because he wanted favors or money when he had the chance to appoint someone to fill Obama’s senate seat when Obama was elected president. And

Wouldn't there be a special election like other states or does PA have a strange constitutional state law that the gov picks?

Yes, you are right. I’m sorry for my mistake. When I think about it I feel PA took all the extra Medicaid programs they could. I hope that doesn’t change.

And let me guess: the driver was driving a massive truck or SUV and was the only person inside it.

Gisele Fetterman is amazing but she would also never want that job.
