New Poll Finds Most Americans Remain Confident In Mueller Probe; Most Suspect Trump’s Campaign Connections To Russia “Improper” But Legal

As the special counsel investigation into Donald Trump’s presidential campaign winds down, a new poll finds that most Americans are at least moderately confident that Robert Mueller’s probe has been fair and impartial.

Building Permits Have Not Been Submitted In Aliquippa Or South Heights For Several Years

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

The recent report released regarding the building permits obtained by each area of the county by the Planning & Redevelopment Office became a hotbed of conversation at the Commissioners’ weekly work session on Wednesday. The report said that neither Aliquippa nor South Heights had any building permits throughout all of 2018–in fact, the city of Aliquippa hasn’t had one submitted since 2012, and the borough of South Heights hasn’t had one since 2006.

Commissioner Sandie Egley pointed this out during the work session, and pointed out the loophole this creates for citizens of those areas and why she’s disgusted by it:

 

Solicitor Garen Fedeles responded to Commissioner Egley’s concerns by notifying the Board of Commissioners that there was prior communication with the top persons in those areas about rectifying the situation:

 

Meanwhile, Commissioner Egley also brought forth a request from the Beaver County Chamber of Commerce asking the Commissioners to send a letter of recommendation to Governor Tom Wolf asking that the Bruce Mansfield Plant in Shippingport stay in operation. However, Commissioner Tony Amadio rebutted the request–not because he opposes the power plant’s operation–but rather because actions already had been taken, and the future of the Mansfield Plant is no longer in their control:

 

The initial announcement of the closing of the Power Plant came in August of 2018.

State Game Commission: 2018 Was Very Successful For PA Deer Hunters

The state Game Commission is reporting Pennsylvania deer hunters just had their most successful year since 2005. The recent 2018-2019 harvest, which closed in January, saw 374-thousand, 690 deer taken in. That’s about ten-percent more than last year, and the most since the 2004-2005 season. Hunters using bows or crossbows harvested about a third of the deer, scoring about 50-thousand more than they did the prior season when unseasonably warm weather and rain impacted many bow-hunting days.
