RODENTS CONTINUE TO INFEST THE STATE CAPITOL

A week after its January re-opening, Brad Bumsted, reporter for the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review asked Gov. Ed Rendell why he hadn’t gone back to the Capitol cafeteria to eat since its re-opening. So that Friday Rendell went to the cafeteria – something he often did during his first two years in office, less so since – and ate lunch with two companions.

WE DON’T NEED NO STINKIN’ BUDGET

Pennsylvania still does not have an actual budget, so July 17th was the last payday for state workers. So Rendell set up a plan for banks to offer loans to state employees to counteract missed paydays, as budget negotiations went into overtime.

Pennsylvania’s Long Hot Summer
