Tom Corbett said yesterday that he wants lawmakers to pass legislation this year authorizing the sale of state liquor stores to private operators because they're not a core function of government. Hours after Corbett spoke to the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania, a leader of the union that represents most employees of 620 state stores argued that they do a better job of collecting taxes and preventing underage drinking than private businesses would.

Gido, a professor of criminology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, "As 2006 begins, prisons large and small, rural and urban, struggle to house and separate, find and habilitate pretrial and sentenced, local, state and federal detainees and inmates ... using a model that has largely never worked." The County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania is calling for a statutory change requiring more convicts to be sent to state rather than county lock-ups. But the state system is already full. So, what's the answer? In California it's to build more prisons. I figure that Pennsylvania will follow suit. In Pennsylvania, we also experienced a cancerous growth of prisons.

Ned Weston of Butler County, vice president of the Pennsylvania Trappers Association and a trapper for 64 years, told commissioners at their meeting in Franklin that the traps are set a minimum of 4 feet off the ground and don't damage trees. They are effective at taking raccoons, though. Commissioners Bob Schlemmer of Export and Dave Schreffler of Bedford County agreed the traps could help limit crop damage to fa...
