'The PennLive report details some $367,107 in raises for the highest ranking members of the commission, including an $86,000 raise for CEO Mark Compton to bring his salary up to $348,118.'

'The raises were approved in a non-public, closed door meeting in March, and took funds from the same general stockpile used to fund public transportation, the report states.
Analysts and residents were not happy.'

"What a scam the PA turnpike is," March on Harrisburg, an advocacy group based in the state capitol, shared on X.
'The news comes as the Pennsylvania Turnpike continues to face ire from residents and lawmakers who say some of its practices and processes are unethical, and from critics of its price and its steep increases in toll rates. It currently costs around $100 to drive across the state without an E-ZPass.'

The raises come as the Turnpike plans to increase its tolls once again in 2026, on top of rates which critics already call "exorbitant."

I’ve had much success with fall planting!

Fall is the best time to plant, giving the roots a chance to grow before Spring leafing out.. So, fall native plant sales have begun! But at the Arboretum, you don't have to wait for the date. We're open sunrise to sunset daily with perennials, trees and shrubs. Young ones to grow with you!

Most perennials $4, trees and shrubs from $4 to $20.

Cash only. Come see!

Contact State Senator Tracy Pennycuick to fund mass transit. These cuts impact ALL of HER constituents, regardless of whether or not they use SEPTA.

Budget impasses affect all of us -- but most of all -- it is those who can least afford it:

⏰Increased borrowing by school districts, which may show up in future local budget hikes.
⏰Public library reductions in services or hours.
⏰Reduced public transportation service.

Enough of the games. We need the Republican-controlled Senate to pass a budget that is a fair compromise between the House version and Gov. Shapiro's budget. No one will get everything they want. Time is up.

Yes!

The debate over funding SEPTA has led Chester County state Rep Melissa Shusterman to suggest a radical approach to PA tax distribution
