Sen. Bob Casey Says Some Projects Underway In Pennsylvania Could Be In Jeopardy Because Of President Trump’s Border Wall

U.S. Sen. Bob Casey’s office says federal money for submarine manufacturing in Philadelphia, aircraft construction in Pittsburgh and other projects in Pennsylvania could be at risk of being diverted by the Trump administration to help finance a U.S.-Mexico border wall. Casey’s office said Thursday there’s nearly $200 million in congressionally approved money for military construction projects in Pennsylvania. Casey office says it’s received no information from Trump’s administration.

House Dems Introduce Resolution To Block Trump’s National Emergency Declaration

House Democrats have introduced a resolution to block the national emergency declaration that President Donald Trump issued to fund his long-sought wall along the U.S-Mexico border. Friday’s move sets up a constitutional fight that could result in Trump’s first veto. The Democratic-controlled House is sure to pass the measure, and the Republican-run Senate may adopt it as well despite Trump’s opposition.

Posluszny, Bruno To Be Inducted Into WPIAL Hall Of Fame

(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

Just under a year after announcing his reitrement, Paul Posluszny will have his name eternally enshrined.

The former Hopewell graduate joins a stacked group for the WPIAL Hall of Fame Class of 2019. Posluszny graduated a Viking in 2002, before becoming a 2-time All-American at Penn State and getting drafted 34th overall by the Buffalo Bills in the 2007 NFL Draft. He would play 11 seasons in the NFL; four in Buffalo and the remaining seven in Jacksonville.

“Puz”, as some called him, will be joined by former Beaver Falls and Monaca football coach Larry Bruno, who will be inducted in the Heritage category. Bruno started at Monaca in 1949, and won the 1960 WPIAL Championship in football for Beaver Falls, coaching future Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath.

Posluszny is also joined by former Steelers backup Charlie Batch, the Steel Valley graduate who led the Ironmen to a 1991 PIAA Championship before pursuing a 12-year NFL Career with Detroit (4) and Pittsburgh (8). Batch is a two-time Super Bowl Winner as a backup to current Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger.

Also getting inducted to the WPIAL Hall of Fame in 2019 are the 1998 Rochester Rams football team that won WPIAL & PIAA gold, former Steelers backup Bruce Gradkowski, and former 3-time MLB All-Star Sean Casey.

The induction ceremony will take place on June 1 at the DoubleTree in Greentree.

Department Of Agriculture Reminds Dog Owners To Get Their Dogs Licensed

Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding is reminding Pennsylvanians that February is “Love Your Dog Month”…and that the best way to care for their dogs is to make sure they are licensed…

Redding says that licensing helps bring lost pets home more quickly, and the proceeds of dog license sales also ensure dogs and the public are kept safe.
