The governor keeps pushing the idea but the legislature does not want to work with him or to provide him with any opportunity to look like he's doing something for the people of pennsyltucky so they shut down the idea. Plus, the R-controlled legislature wants to make sure there is enough dough in the coffers to fund their upcoming 9% pay raise (on top of the 5% they got last year).

The "too late to buy" posts seem unhelpful. You are already aware of the lateness. My suggestion is to drive down towards Pownal and then come back up towards Gray. You might find a roadside sign where someone is selling.

$500 for a cord seems absurd. Just plain greed.

> there is no reason for any of that garbage to be taught to a 7yo in an elementary school.

I hear this often these days, same as the agenda thing, but no one ever really says what "that garbage" is. Kids are going to be who they are; parents who are NOT the parents of a gay kid should have no say in who that kid should be.

They apparently do not exist in Bucks County, if those two school boards are to be believed. Boy, oh boy, are they in for a rude awakening. About time someone took them to the courthouse to get woke.

Errata: complaint not filed at the courthouse but administratively with US Ed's Office of Civil Rights. Let's see if Biden's OCR does a better job with this than how Title IX/sex assault complaints were handled under DeVos.

In my county, the local dems group puts few folks up for school board and provides little if any support, even if the candidate is from amongst its own group. But if someone (especially if a woman) not on the committee runs for a different office, they trip all over themselves to knock on doors, donate, and put out signs.

Bizarre, really, all those lost opportunities. And the business of not even supporting their fellow members. Wonder why so many of their spots go unfilled.
