Yeah it was kind of shocking to get the letter saying my house which was previously assessed at $26k (way low) was now in the 6 figure range (which is more accurate). But I knew they were going to adjust the millage before I got it so I didn't panic.

I could see this blindsiding someone who didn't know. And then the news interviews them because "taxes bad" and gets views/clicks.

Also, there are food banks that pick up out-of-date products like bread, cakes etc. Don’t know if pretzels would be one of those things. Either way the fault falls wholly on the vendor for not catching it. Even if it was only serviced once a week, that vendor has left it there more than a dozen times and said ‘fuck it’.

As a central Catholic student, I also agree. Easily the scariest moment of my life. I was in the library and they made us walk out with our hands on our head with guns pointed at us. I feel the most for the teachers, they were devastated. Some teachers and students were take into interrogation if they weren’t in a classroom when authorities went into the building. Thank god nothing happened.

Our experience has been that the only way is to go in person. They do not respond to emails and we've been on the phone for more than 45 minutes on hold for multiple occasions. This person doesn't have the resource to get downtown everyday either to keep going in there and being turned away very frustrating

I do not know if she had tried Bethlehem before I will try to get her to call them now. I know that women's place these will only go through Allegheny length. We will also try that other number thank you

Such a shitty thing to do.

I was doing wedding prep today and our florist came out of the backroom crying after taking a call. She had heard the active shooter reports and had to leave to go pick up her kid.

Even if it was a false alarm it terrified everyone involved. So some asshole can have some lolz.
