PLEASE call your rep and tell them to tax the shale, not more tax on hotels...ESPECIALLY if you are in suburban Philly or Central PA and your rep is a Republican

They do realize you can build a hotel (and choose to stay in one) anywhere, but only mine for natural gas where you find it, right? Maybe not.

I mean l figure that like 98% of real estate developers do that. Frankly, I would prefer the column inches be devoted to the actual current impeachable offenses going on right now by the actual President.

AP, HARRISBURG - A Pennsylvania judge said Wednesday that his court was unlikely to decide a civil case challenging the constitutionality of the state's congressional district maps in time to affect next year's elections.

Commonwealth Court Judge Dan Pellegrini did not immediately rule after the hearing on a request to delay the case while the U.S. Supreme Court weighs the role of partisanship in drawing legislative district lines.
The judge also put off consideration of a separate request by several Republicans who are active in political campaigns, seeking to join the litigation.

Pellegrini said he saw his role as teeing up the lawsuit for consideration by a full panel of the court, which could involve a trial. But he said it was not likely to be resolved before the spring primary season, and any appeal to the Supreme Court would extend it further.
Jason Tochinsky, a lawyer for legislative Republican leaders who are among the defendants, said the case could be affected by how the U.S. Supreme Court rules in a challenge to Wisconsin's legislative districts, argued on Tuesday.

Republicans currently represent 13 of 18 congressional districts in Pennsylvania, despite winning only about half the statewide votes in the past three elections.

David Gersch, representing the plaintiffs, said they were willing to strip down the case a bit in order to get it resolved more quickly.
