Rendell Signs 'Bridge' Measure
Governor Ed Rendell has signed legislation that provides a mechanism for state employees to be paid, but does not provide a complete and final budget for the 2009-10 fiscal year. “What I am signing today is not a budget,” Rendell said. “I am signing legislation that will simply allow us to pay state employees who provide for immediate critical public health and safety services, and that will send negotiators back to the table to communicate, compromise and get real about delivering a true budget agreement for Pennsylvania.” Rendell signed Senate Bill 850 after he vetoed all program funding line items except those pertaining to payroll and essential public protection. The measure is an incomplete budget of roughly $11 billion.For more information, go to the governor's web site.

Celebrating a life of scouting
A local physician who works as a family practitioner for Guthrie in Canton, Pa. and is a Troy resident, has recently decided to step down as Scoutmaster after providing 20 years in this capacity for Troop #47 in Troy, Pa.
Sixty-one year old Dr. John Weis, who was born and raised in Emporium, Pa. and located to Troy, Pa. 31 years ago, has spent his life not only helping people through his work, but by cultivating leadership among young men in the community.
When Weis was growing up in Emporium, Pa., he belonged to a scout troop that collapsed by the time he turned 16. When this happened, according to Weis, he was very disappointed. "I had advanced in scouting at that point, and when they folded I couldn’t go any further," he said.

More goofyness from the Guv'na
Gov. Ed Rendell says state will help Harley-Davidson stay in Pa.
Monday August 03, 2009, 10:04 AM
YORK, Pa. -- Gov. Ed Rendell says the state will not let a Harley-Davidson plant in central Pennsylvania leave without a fight.
At a rally Sunday inside Sovereign Bank Stadium in York, Rendell told a crowd of plant workers and motorcycle enthusiasts that officials are designing a plan to help the company stay. The package includes help with job training and infrastructure, low-interest loans and $15 million for upgrades.
Harley-Davidson said in May its facility in Springettsbury Township is not cost-effective and that it might move its operations. More than 2,000 local jobs are at stake.
The rally Sunday followed a 50-mile ride of support by hundreds of bikers through York and Adams counties.
The state can't even get a budget passed to pay the state employees, yet can find money to bail out an outdated, overbloated private manufacturer? Outrageous. The average Harley costs almost $20,000 and yet they need state subsidies to upgrade their plant? I say let them take their junk back to Milwaukee.
