Man fights to save his home in New Castle sewer crisis

Marvin Johnson, living at 1016 McCleary Ave near Union Township, battles a recurring sewer spill that damaged his home twice in three years. He blames city and township officials for inaction while facing wall collapses, uninsured repair costs, and disputes over water responsibility. Johnson, a Penn Power worker, notes racial bias as a factor in delayed remedies and contemplates legal action with support from neighbors and colleagues.

Bridge coverup claimed in western Pennsylvania

The Pittsburgh Press reports PennDOT hid weld and steel fabrication problems on the two costliest western Pennsylvania bridges of the era. The I-79 Neville Island bridge had inside welds unperformed and beams painted improperly, with Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Co. forced to repair under adverse conditions. The Birmingham Bridge also saw torch-cut beams accepted by PennDOT instead of precisely machined ones.
