Pennsylvanias largest teachers union sues to block Act 16
The Pennsylvania State Education Association filed a Commonwealth Court suit arguing Act 16, the Education Empowerment Act, violates equal protection and threatens local control. The union contends the three year plan would strip employment rights and misuse standardized tests to justify state takeovers of 11 districts. Union leader Wythe Keever and President Patsy Tallarico call for the law's unconstitutionality.

The permit, issued in January, allowed opening a business in a mixed-use highway zone. The township previously had no legal means to block the business. Supervisors later adopted a revised adult use ordinance on May 22, with rules to curb adult-oriented establishments, set to take effect six months after adoption.
