Barletta to decide soon on whether to run for governor

Barletta to decide soon on whether to run for governor
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Lou Barletta, the former congressman who unsuccessfully challenged U.S. Sen. Bob Casey in 2018, says he’ll make a decision in the next few weeks on whether to seek the Republican nomination for governor of Pennsylvania in 2022. Barletta said Friday that he felt the pull of running for office again during the pandemic and seeing the hardship of business owners and people losing their jobs. He says the final decision on whether to run is up to his family. The office is open since Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf is term-limited. Attorney General Josh Shapiro is widely expected to seek the Democratic nomination.

CONGRESSMAN LAMB ACCEPTING COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING REQUESTS FOR FY22 APPROPRIATIONS

(PITTSBURGH, PA) – Today, Representative Conor Lamb (PA-17) announced that his office is now accepting requests for Community Project Funding (CPF) for the Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22) Appropriations process, to direct funding to specific governmental entities, nonprofit organizations, or geographic locations.  Through the new CPF program, Members of Congress will be able to request funding for up to 10 specific projects in their districts to serve the public good.  The deadline for submission of CPF requests for PA-17 is Tuesday, April 6, 2021 at 5:00 PM.  Late or incomplete requests will not be accepted or considered.

“This program is an opportunity to invest federal dollars in important projects in our communities.  These requests will be completely transparent, which makes them different from the previous ‘earmark’ process,” said Lamb.  “When it comes to how your tax dollars are spent, this program gives more of a voice to Western Pennsylvania and less to Washington.”

The new CPF program is being implemented with accountability measures to ensure a responsible and transparent process.  All CPF submissions are required to be posted on lamb.house.gov in order to ensure full transparency.  Therefore, all information submitted by a requesting organization should be considered public information.  The House Appropriations Committee will also establish an online, searchable public database of all CPF requests received by the Committee.

The House Appropriations Committee intends to fund community projects on a limited basis in the FY22 Appropriations bills.  Therefore, CPF requests that address the most significant needs of local communities or provide a significant public good are more likely to be included.  Not every CPF request submitted by a Member of Congress will be included in the FY22 appropriations bills.

Only eligible CPF requests that meet all the guidelines established by the Appropriations Committee will be accepted and considered.  Visit Lamb’s website to review the guidelines established by the House Appropriations Committee and to submit a request.

Pirates Shifting Focus As Regular Season Approaches, Says Joe Block

With under two weeks until the beginning of the regular season, the Pittsburgh Pirates–at least the ones who will be the Pittsburgh Pirates come April 1–are shifting focus toward playing like it counts.

Joe Block, who will be calling those regular season games, joined Matt Drzik to discuss how the Bucs plan on finalizing their pitching rotation and “locking down” their offensive and defensive play with regularity. Block also talked about how the days off in Florida are a nice change of pace from the everyday grind.

CDC changes school guidance, allowing desks to be closer
By MIKE STOBBE AP Medical Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. health officials are relaxing social distancing recommendations for schools, now saying students can sit as close as 3 feet to each other in classrooms. The new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, announced Friday, signal the agency’s turn away from the 6-foot distancing recommendation that had forced some schools to remove desks, stagger scheduling and take other steps to keep kids apart.
