Minimum-Wage Hike May Be June’s Big Horse Trade In PA Capitol

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Raising the minimum wage in Pennsylvania is getting its most serious discussion since Democratic Gov. Wolf began calling for an increase in 2015 and, for that matter, since the federal minimum wage last increased in 2009. The question, Democrats say, is how big of an increase leaders of the Republican-controlled Legislature will support and what sort of concession they will demand in return. Today, rank-and-file lawmakers return to the Capitol.

From Pin-Ball Machines to action figures to music records and everything in between that makes Antique Emporium Beaver County’s number one Antique and Collectible store.

Pelosi: I Think Trump ‘Wants us to Impeach Him’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., says she believes President Donald Trump actually wants to be impeached so the Senate could clear him. She made her comments on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last night. Pelosi said – quote – “He knows it’s not a good idea to be impeached, but the silver lining for him is then, he believes, that he would be exonerated by the United States Senate. Pelosi maintained the Republican Senate is “completely in the pocket of Donald Trump.” And she noted that not one GOP lawmaker in the Senate has “spoken up.”
