Home rule always worth review Regarding the Jan. 19 editorial on home rule, Wild goose chase: County commissioners get sidetracked trying to fix whats not broken, no one has said the county government is broken. The proposed home rule charter (as provided in Amendment 21 of 1948 to the state constitution) is to add to the voters voice in county government.
After first floating the idea that he wanted a fourth term, St. Tammany Parish President Kevin Davis changed course and decided last week that he will not seek four more years in office.

Accordingly, the District of Columbia is hereby obligat...

Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato today vetoed a bill to sell the Health Department's administrative office building because of an amendment that tightly controlled how the sale proceeds could be spent. Onorato said the amendment puts the bill in violation of the county home rule charter. It would leave the county with an unbalanced budget and the special reserve fund it creates is not mentioned in the bill's title, both violations of the charter, according to Onorato.
When it comes to dealing with the media, Ed Rendell finally fessed up to being a fraud. He didn't use that exact word. But the former Pennsylvania governor admitted in his Philadelphia Daily News column that the truth never has been one of his highest priorities.
