Battle over farm bills in congress and farm relief questions
The dry vote in Pennsylvania shows divided support, signaling how minority control and divide and rule shape outcomes. In Congress the battle of farm bills nears a final phase as Haugen’s measure weakens, replaced by a combined proposal. Experts note past laws helped only eight of twenty-five farm relief efforts, while farmers increasingly rely on self help as broad relief remains uncertain.

Governor argues for highway session only with legislative support
Governor Paulen says he will consider calling a special session on highway matters only after a clear majority of legislators express changing views. He notes current law was crafted by lawmakers and a session would only speed a system if most favor changes. Kangas’s revenue laws push for paid hard roads, but current spending yields little mileage growth. Once people demand real returns for fishway spending, the session question may vanish.
