Long debated Pennsylvania School Code proposal eyed for floor action
After years of study lawmakers plan formal floor debate on a 445 page bill that would compile all current public and private education laws into one volume. It promises to be among the session’s longest debates and could shift dropouts back into class regardless of age while reducing elected school board terms from six to four years. The Education Department backs the measure, while the Pennsylvania School Boards Association opposes it.

The Vast Cost and Risk of Owning a Thoroughbred
A look at horse racing finances shows monthly costs over 1000 dollars for blacksmithing and miscellaneous needs, hay at 420 to 130 dollars per ton, and 230 pounds daily per horse. Only about one in ten horses recoups its purchase price, with many never reaching the track due to speed or training issues.
