    Farmers are reeling as diesel prices soar during harvest season, turning a tough year into a full-blown crisis.

    Floods Hit Washington County Again | Harrisburg News

    Washington County, Pennsylvania, is reeling from devastating flash floods that have forced South Strabane Township into disaster emergency mode — including a shocking 40-foot sinkhole right outside the fire station. Fire Chief Jason Brown warns that what were once “hundred-year floods” are now annual events, overwhelming aging infrastructure and causing widespread damage as two to five inches of rain crash down on an unprepared system. Cleanup efforts are underway, but residents face a grim reality: more extreme weather is here to stay. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Shapiro vs Garrity in PA Governor's Race | Harrisburg News

    Pennsylvania’s 2026 gubernatorial race is tightening as incumbent Democrat Josh Shapiro, with his “Get Stuff Done” record and massive fundraising lead, looks poised for a second term. Facing off against Republican Treasurer Stacy Garrity — who’s aligned with Trump but trying to soften her image — Shapiro dominates polls and donor support, while Garrity struggles to gain traction despite her fiscal wins and military background. With control over a $50B+ budget and key appointments, Shapiro’s first term saw bold moves like education funding and executive orders, while Garrity’s campaign attacks his presidential ambitions — but voters remain unmoved. For now, Shapiro’s momentum looks unstoppable, leaving Garrity scrambling to turn the tide. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

His case highlights the fallout from revoked Temporary Protected Status for Haitians, as advocates warn his return would endanger his family amid ongoing violence in Haiti.

    Penn State Eyes Campus Sales | Harrisburg News

    Penn State is quietly poised to sell off shuttered campuses after lawmakers struck down deed restrictions meant to protect taxpayer investments — a move critics warn could turn educational land into commercial real estate, while supporters say it’ll fast-track community revitalization. Facing budget cuts and declining enrollment, the university plans to shutter seven campuses, starting with Shenango and Wilkes-Barre. Though legislators initially balked at letting Penn State sell without oversight — fearing local communities would lose out — the amendment still passed both chambers. The university insists it’s working closely with towns to ensure new uses benefit residents, even as local officials scramble for clarity on buyers and future plans.

    Meetings That Drain You | Harrisburg News

    Meetings are secretly draining you—new data shows over 60% of people in meetings over 15 hours a week feel stressed, and two-thirds say they’re wiped out. The culprit? Uncertainty. When you don’t know the purpose, your role, or how to prep, it’s mentally exhausting—especially online. Fix it by setting clear agendas, defining roles, and asking targeted questions instead of vague “any thoughts?” Even letting people reply via email can spark better ideas. And don’t ignore the physical toll: racing heart, tense shoulders? Breathe. Caffeine might make it worse. Prep is power—know the agenda, rehearse your points.
