Harrisburg water plan linked to McNichol scheme exposed
A Harrisburg based critique warns that Senator McNichol’s bill to create a Pennsylvania State Water Commission could hand control of water rights to corporations.

The piece links anti liquor debates to broader municipal resource exploitation and alleges hidden pressures from temperance factions at Harrisburg.
