(Harrisburg, PA) Some experts contend part of the reason Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 presidential election was because of what they’re calling “misogynoir”, the intersection of sexism and racism. In 2020 the Keystone State backed Joe Biden and Harris, the first woman vice president. But just last month, President-elect Donald Trump won Pennsylvania with 19 electoral votes. Co-Founder of the Black Voters Matter Fund LaTosha Brown says despite the loss and Trump’s relentless personal attacks on Harris, millions of Americans did vote for her because of what she embodied. Brown argues that while Trump weaponized gender and race, it was also what drew many to Harris. However, after Harris lost every battleground state, Democrats have been regrouping, some blaming external factors, others pointing to a failure to address working-class concerns.

(Washington) According to a release from United States Attorney Eric G. Olshan in Washington on Tuesday, the Justice Department, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) made an agreement with PennEnergy Resources LLC (PennEnergy) to resolve alleged violations from Clean Air Act and Pennsylvania Air Pollution Control Act for involvement with operations of the company’s oil and gas in Pennsylvania.

Olshan states that this will decrease emissions of carbon dioxide released as methane each year by 8,200 tons as well as the elimination of more than 150 tons of volatile organic compound.

(Beaver Borough, PA) On Tuesday evening, the council of the Beaver Borough held a meeting to announce that residents in Beaver Borough will receive a 56% tax increase on property for next year. There were several reasons that this occurred, which include the council stating that a hillside needs to be repaired while the pool house will undergo renovations, which will earn it more money. According to the council, an average jump of $500 that year will be the increase that people who own homes in the area will be expected to see in 2025.
