Road repairs in Corry area remain uncertain
State Sen. R Budd Dwyer warns PennDOT roadwork in Erie County is underfunded with 300000 allocated for county projects and 100000 for Erie city streets. He cites five projects and notes limited pothole patching elsewhere, predicting little summer action for Corry area roads. He and Rep. Forest Hopkins press for proper funding and priorities.

Ervin Pushes Delay on Watergate Report to Delay Findings
Chairman Ervin seeks to postpone the final Watergate report by up to a month and drop any findings of individual guilt while a majority of the seven member Senate committee considers this to avoid meddling with House impeachment and the coverage of the case. The report's May 28 deadline likely slips as print time runs out and sections could be released later.

Reps Green and Vanik seek floor amendments against Mills rules and urge Rules Committee access.
