PA Headlines | May 1 | Survey results: What Pennsylvanians say is the greatest threat to public health.

Pennsylvania lawmakers are advancing legislation to end the death penalty.

A federal judge is siding with Pennsylvania over an out-of-state advocacy group in a lawsuit about voter data.

Pennsylvania's high court ruled Tuesday that spreadsheets of raw data from ballots are public records.

A man who managed voter registration drives in Pennsylvania ahead of the 2024 presidential election is facing a month in jail after pleading guilty to three misdemeanor counts.

The Harrisburg School Board has approved several contracts for the demolition of the former William Penn High School. 

And a once-familiar sight in the Susquehanna River during the summer season is set to make a return. The red and white striped, paddle-wheeled riverboat known as the Pride of the Susquehanna is preparing to launch after a 2-year hiatus.

PA Headlines | April 30 | Two bills, two rationales behind a possible end to the death penalty.

Democrats are trying to find a candidate who can beat incumbent Republican Scott Perry in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional race The primary race is between centrist Janelle Stelson and progressive Justin Douglas.

Some Pennsylvania lawmakers say, as immigrant students’ rights have come under attack, they want to take steps to ensure public schools remain safe and welcoming. New state legislation would require schools to adopt policies that protect students’ privacy and limit ICE enforcement on school grounds.

Hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians rely on direct care workers to get a little assistance at home. Most work for agencies, but 6% are employed directly by a Medicaid enrollee. That category of caretaker now qualifies for a raise after lawmakers added $21 million to the current state budget to fund the increase in pay.

Delaware County is eyeing a regional youth detention center five years after abuse allegations shuttered a facility in the county. Berks and Dauphin counties are in those partnership talks.

Future security-related upgrades to address emergencies at the state-owned governor's mansion, as well as at private property owned by Pennsylvania's sitting governor, would be subject to new oversight and public accountability, under a measure being pushed in the legislature.

After nearly 100 animals were rescued from a Lancaster County home last week, some of the puppies are now being adopted.

The Hershey Bears head into the Atlantic Division Semifinals Thursday night facing a Pennsylvania rival, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
