Three-day work week proposed for Pennsylvania boards
Sen. James A. Romanelli of Pittsburgh advances a plan requiring members of the Public Utility Commission Liquor Control Board Milk Marketing Board Turnpike Commission Board of Arbitration of Claims and State Tax Equalization Board to work at least three days weekly in Harrisburg. The proposal targets well paid, often part time posts given to insiders and raises the case for more hours and reduced conflicts of interest. Romanelli calls the idea sensible and a starting point for reform urging taxpayers deserve better oversight from regulatory bodies.

Dog’s Best Friend by Paul Harvey
Neighbors tried to lure the dog to safety and even left food and water as the mute survivor stayed by the grave of its companion. Crowds urged, police were called, and the dog remained until a timely animal care crew removed the corpse and the survivor disappeared into a steel yard. The city’s heart opened as people felt real compassion for the unnamed dog and the lingering vigil ended.
