Public information should not come with a price tag [opinion] .Imagine a Pennsylvania where local governments can reach more people than ever before!.

Public info shouldn’t come with a price tag. Outdated PA law requires notices in print papers, used only by 9% of residents (and dropping). SB 194 gives local govs flexibility, including posting online where people look. Support transparency. Back SB 194.

The PA House passed a bill to set a flat annual fee on PA's EV drivers that'll increase over the years, 190-12. It heads back to the Senate. SB 656 sets the fee at $200 in 2025 & up to $286 by 2030. Plug-ins would pay 25% of that. .

It's Thursday, so it’s time for the PSATS Question of the Week! And that question is “Can we legally bring in an outside third party to discuss an issue during a private executive session meeting of the board of supervisors?".Here's the answer:

"One-size-fits-all" zoning? ❌ It's a fact, it would take away your voice & ignore what makes your community unique. Builders and developers may prefer no rules, but responsible development matters. #Housing #SmartGrowth.
