Three Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices elected as Democrats are defending their records on the bench amid criticisms from the Republican Party over their impartiality in rulings. The judges all face a statewide vote on Election Day, determining whether they’ll keep their seats. The state has approved a request by the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, or SEPTA, to use state transit reserve money to close a more than $300 million budget gap over the next two years. The Trump administration wants to roll back the 2001 Roadless Rule, which protects wild areas in national forests, including in Pennsylvania. Critics say that could undo the environmental gains that have been made, compromising a critical resource. Lancaster County commissioners recently adopted a new hazard safety plan. The five-year mitigation plan details environmental and human-made risks facing county residents and what can be done to prevent them. Pennsylvania now has its first comprehensive digital inventory of trails within Pennsylvania's state parks. The new digital trail resource maps more than 17-hundred miles of trails across 119 parks. Federal funding for public media has been rescinded. Your monthly gift to WITF can help fill the gap as we navigate this new reality.
