STATE REPRESENTATIVE RICK SACCONE HAS ANNOUNCED LEGISLATION TO END DRIVER’S LICENSE SUSPENSIONS FOR PEOPLE CONVICTED OF A NON-VEHICLE RELATED CRIME. BEAVER COUNTY RADIO NEWSMAN PAT SEPTAK ASKED SACCONE IN A RECENT INTERVIEW WHAT EXACTLY WOULD HOUSE BILL 42 DO…AND WHY HE IS SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE?

SACCONE EXPLAINS WHAT MAKES HOUSE BILL 42 SO INTERESTING AND UNIQUE…

SACCONE HAS BEEN VERY CRITICAL OF THE 2018-19 STATE BUDGET THAT GOVERNOR WOLF HAS PROPOSED…SAYING THAT IT’S JUST MORE OF THE SAME TAX AND SPEND POLICIES OF THE PAST. SACCONE SAID THAT HE IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SEVERANCE TAX…

SOME REPUBLICAN STATE LAWMAKERS – SUCH AS JIM MARSHALL – HAVE PRAISED THE GOVERNOR’S BUDGET PROPOSAL FOR RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR WORK FORCE DEVELOPMENT. PAT ASKED SACCONE IF HE AGREED WITH THAT ASSESSMENT…

PAT ASKED HIM IF HE’S AMONG THE GOP LAWMAKERS WHO ARE THREATENING A FEDERAL LAWSUIT OVER THE NEW CONGRESSIONAL MAP?

PAT ASKED HIM IF HE AGREES THAT THE OLD MAPS HEAVILY FAVORED REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES…AND IF HE IS CONCERNED THAT THE NEWLY DRAWN MAPS WILL FAVOR DEMOCRATS IN THE FALL?

NEW POLL NUMBERS SHOW THAT DEMOCRAT CONNER LAMB IS WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE IN NEXT MONTH’S SPECIAL ELECTION IN THE 18TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. PAT ASKED SACCONE IF HE’S SURPRISED THAT THE RACE IS NARROWING AND APPEARS TO BE CLOSER THAN WHAT POLITICAL PUNDITS WERE PREDICTING?

THAT SPECIAL ELECTION IN THE 18TH DISTRICT WILL BE HELD ON MARCH 13TH.

Pitt loses 19th straight conference game!!!!!

  1. Florida State rallies in second half to defeat Pittsburgh
    By JOE REEDY, Associated Press
    TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton took his two of his leading scorers out of the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh. Their replacements ended up being more than adequate.
    PJ Savoy led the Seminoles with 18 points and M.J. Walker added 16 as they were able to rally and pull away in the second half for an 88-75 victory over the Panthers.
    Hamilton said after the game that Terance Mann, who is averaging a team-high 14.4 points, and Brian Angola, who is third on the team at 13.2, did not start and play the first half due to “a minor indiscretion.”
    Savoy and Walker both said that they didn’t know they were starting until five minutes before the game.
    “I was pleased with the way everyone responded,” Hamilton said. “PJ and M.J. showed a lot of poise. They didn’t have any problems adjusting at all.”
    All five of Savoy’s field goals were 3-pointers as he led the Seminoles (19-8, 8-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) in scoring for the second time this season. The 6-foot-4 junior missed seven games but is averaging 12.3 points and is 10 of 21 on 3-pointers in three games since returning from a knee injury.
    “My teammates were able to find me in open spots. Hitting my first two shots was able to give me a lot of energy,” he said.
    Walker, a 6-5 freshman, didn’t seem fazed about getting his first collegiate start. He was 7 of 8 at the foul line as Florida State went 29 of 40, including 13 of 17 in the second half.
    “It was my first start since high school but I was able to adjust and play my game,” he said.
    The Panthers (8-20, 0-15) led 39-38 at halftime after hitting 10 of 17 from 3-point range in the first half but Florida State took the lead with a 9-2 run to start the second half. Pitt, which was 2 of 6 on 3-pointers in the second half, was still within three (74-71) with 3:29 remaining but FSU took control with a 7-1 run.
    The Seminoles, who were 26 of 47 from the field, took 18 more trips to foul line and had a 36-24 advantage in points in the paint. They also had a 17-3 edge in second-chance points.
    “We couldn’t guard effectively without fouling. That’s another sign of our inexperience,” Panthers coach Kevin Stallings said after three of his players fouled out, including two starters. “We did a very good job of taking care of the ball and for the most part getting good shots.”
    Jared Wilson-Frame and Shamiel Stevenson led Pittsburgh with 17 points each and Parker Stewart added 16.
    BIG PICTURE
    Pittsburgh: It was only the third time in ACC play that the Panthers had led at halftime and first time in any road game this season. However, Pitt’s losing streak in regular-season ACC games is now at 19. Its last win ironically was a year ago against Florida State.
    Florida State: A loss to the Panthers would have been detrimental to the Seminoles’ NCAA Tournament hopes, but barring a collapse in the final two weeks of the regular season, they have set themselves up well for consecutive NCAA appearances for the first time since 2012.
    STAR WATCH
    Mann and Angola both got in during the second half. Mann scored four points in 14 minutes while Angola was scoreless, going 0 for 2 from the field, in five minutes.
    TIP-INS
    Phil Cofer was held scoreless in the first half for the second straight game but ended up scoring 14 points. The senior had 17 in the second half and overtime of last Wednesday’s win over No. 11 Clemson. … FSU redshirt freshman Mfiondu Kabengele had 13 points, which is his most in ACC play. He was 9 of 11 from the foul line.
    UP NEXT
    Pittsburgh has its next two games at home, starting Wednesday against Wake Forest.
    Florida State has a week off before going to North Carolina State on Feb. 25.
