At 11 a.m. November 20, a male suspect entered the Rite Aid located in the 46000 block of Cedar Lake Plaza and handed the pharmacist a note which implied he had a gun. The note demanded prescription medication. The suspect left empty-handed. Shortly after 12 p.m., it is believed the same male suspect entered the CVS located in the 400 block of Enterprise Street. He again handed the pharmacist a note implying he had a gun and demanded prescription narcotic medications. The suspect was given prescription medication before fleeing.

The suspect is described as a white male and was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt with black strips, a red baseball hat with a “Make America Great Again” emblem, sunglasses, black pants and black shoes.

Nowhere is really safe from the opiod crisis.

“Whatever the facts end up being, the premise, of course, the principle, the incontrovertible principle, is that there is no Senate seat worth more than a child,” Conway told host Kilmeade. “And we all want to put that forward.”

I can't believe she allowed herself a moment of humanity.

HARRISBURG -- Legislation in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to impose a long-sought tax on Marcellus Shale natural gas production is up in the air until December.

The Republican-controlled House adjourned until Dec. 4, after spending parts of Monday and Tuesday debating proposed amendments by Republicans who oppose a tax in the nation's No. 2 gas state.

Dozens of proposed amendments are still lined up, and House Republican leadership opposes the bill. Supporters of a tax include most Democrats and Republicans from southeastern Pennsylvania, but some say industry-friendly amendments to the bill may change their minds.

The Republican-penned proposal raises less money than the 6.5 percent tax proposed by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf.

The bill's volume tax rises with the price of natural gas and would raise about $100 million in a full year, using 2016 production and current prices.
