HARRISBURG — The chairman of the state House Transportation Committee said Friday that Gov. Ed Rendell’s plan to lease the Pennsylvania Turnpike — in what would be the nation’s largest infrastructure deal — is essentially dead. Rep. Joseph Markosek, D-Allegheny, said legislation that would authorize the proposed $12.8 billion lease will not get a vote in the committee he heads or on the House floor. Markosek said there is very little support for the deal in the House and he believes it is time to focus on other aspects of state transportation policy. “We’ve had extensive hearings,” he said. “The majority of members of the committee are dead set against the lease.” The Transportation Committee’s ranking Republican, Rendell’s office and the group that submitted the $12.8 billion bid all indicated they remained undaunted and hoped the Legislature would continue to examine the offer. “We’re certainly disappointed in the chairman’s point of view, but we would hope that after an opportunity to debate the pros and cons of the issue, the Legislature will choose to consider the proposal in its fall session,” Rendell spokesman Chuck Ardo said. But Markosek called it a bad financial deal that will not be worth pursuing even if the federal government does not give its approval to adding tolls to Interstate 80 under a law passed last summer. “This is such an insufficient financial deal that even if we desperately need the money, this wouldn’t be the ...

BOSTON — Rep. William Lantigua is moving to toughen the state's gun laws in an effort to keep stolen or lost guns from winding up in the wrong hands.

On the July 2 broadcast of Colorado's Morning News , Newsradio 850 KOA co-anchors Steffan Tubbs and Mark Johnson uncritically allowed their guest, Republican state Rep. Bob Gardner (Colorado Springs), to claim, in a reference to remarks that retired Gen. Wesley Clark made on the June 29 edition of CBS' Face the Nation , "Senator Obama has attacked the war record and service of Senator McCain over the past couple of days." Gardner added that "that was done by his surrogates, but I think it's been planned by the campaign so that he can sort of hide behind his own profession of patriotism while a very honorable and heroic American is attacked by his surrogates." As Colorado Media Matters noted after KOA host "Gunny" Bob Newman similarly misrepresented Clark's Face the Nation appearance, Clark did not "attack[]" McCain's service; he praised McCain as "a hero." From the July 2 broadcast of Newsradio 850 KOA's Colorado's Morning News : TUBBS: We had the story in the news of Barack Obama coming to Colorado today. Was it strategic in his choice to go down to Colorado Springs? Many people say absolutely yes. Representative, what do you think? BOB GARDNER: Well, I think it's done more for national news than for Colorado Springs. It's interesting to read the press coverage, because the press coverage says that Barack Obama is bringing his campaign to Colorado. But he's having private events in Colorado Springs, because I think he knows his message ... Source: www.fwicki.com --- 1 day ago

The 18-year-old son of a local state legislator was behind bars Saturday facing at least two burglary charges after being turned over to authorities by his father. Gregory Travis Piatt was being held Saturday at the Carter County Detention Center pending the posting of a $5,000 bond set on a second-degree burglary charge. The charge is based on an investigation by the Lone Grove Police Department. The younger Piatt was turned over to an officer by Rep. Greg Piatt shortly after midnight Thursday. Piatt said he had discovered his son had burglarized the family business, Heartland LLC, located in Lone Grove. According to LGPD reports, the legislator told the officer “... he did not know what else to do besides press charges on his son for the burglary committed.” The report does not indicate what was taken in the burglary. Just hours later, Piatt filed a second report at the Ardmore Police Department, accusing his son of also burglarizing the family’s McLish Street home. Taken in that burglary was a large amount of cash. Charges are pending in connection with the home burglary. Ardmore police are also investigating information gained from Lone Grove officers concerning statements the teenager made alleging his friends were committing similar burglaries while he was breaking into his parent’s business and home. No suspects were named and no others have been arrested in connection with the cases. Efforts to contact the legislator for commen ...
