“Article I, Section 27 of the Pennsylvania Constitution establishes that all Pennsylvanians have the right to clean air and pure water,” said Rich Negrin, Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection. “The updated environmental justice policy deepens that commitment by reaching out to communities, building trust, and increasing community access to support and assistance before they experience an environmental crisis or have a concern about a new facility.” https://t.co/UPvcK3cIXC

15% of homes bought in the Philly metro area last year were purchased by investors. In many North and West Philly zip codes, investors purchased over a third of homes sold in 2021. https://t.co/50YivnmNtz

What will happen to all the downtown office towers when WFH and hybrid working becomes the norm? More important, what happens to downtowns as our common gathering space? ⁦@jblumgart⁩ looks at what the future holds for Philly’s office buildings. https://t.co/vWCXcdRlld

Amtrak's 2022-2026 funding more than doubled, and the state just allotted $15M for rail capacity improvements between Philly and Reading.

This is our shot to bring passenger service back to Reading, Pottstown, Quakertown and the Lehigh Valley, and we have a 4 year window.

"In 1920, the country was also reeling from a pandemic...

In the end, the census was conducted with such great difficulty that its data was never fully adopted, and no congressional reapportionment happened until after the 1930 census."

It’s time for the U.S. census! COVID-19 will obviously impact this year’s effort. You can participate on-line at https://t.co/Dt3HjmrcUZ. The estimate is that every person not counted costs Pennsylvania almost $2,000 in federal aid.
