Pennsylvania casinos reach new $5 billion record for gambling revenue

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Casinos and other operators in Pennsylvania set a new annual record for gambling revenue, state regulators said Tuesday, rising above $5 billion for the first time amid surging betting on online casino games and a post-pandemic return to the casinos' slot machines and table games.Operators in one of the nation’s largest commercial casino states won more than $5 billion from gamblers in the 12 months through June 30, according to the figures from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control BoardThat was about 30% higher than the $3.9 billion recorded in the previous fiscal year, and slightly above the previous calendar year high of $4.7 billion reported in January.The rebound continues after pandemic-related shutdowns sapped casino revenue in 2020.The casino winnings came from 16 casinos, including four new mini-casinos authorized under a 2017 law, as well as fantasy sports operators and truck stops.Revenue in casinos from slot machines grew to $2.4 billion and from table games to above $1 billion.Online gambling, in just its fourth year, grew again to pass $1.2 billion. Sports betting, in just its fifth year, added $325 million in revenue.Pennsylvania legalized both sports betting and online gambling as part of an aggressive gambling expansion in 2017.Pennsylvania has been neck-and-neck with New Jersey for No.

Pennsylvania lawmakers move state abortion amendment closer to 2023 vote

HARRISBURG, Pa. - A proposal to have voters decide whether to add a provision the Pennsylvania Constitution to say it does not guarantee any rights relating to abortion or public funding of abortions passed the Legislature on Friday and could be on the ballot next spring.The language was among five proposed Republican-written amendments that were approved by both the House and Senate after a pair of charged debates among state lawmakers who have promised their voters to fight for or against abortion rights."Do we want the people of the commonwealth to fund abortions — why are we so afraid to put this question before the people?" said Rep. Clint Owlett, of Tioga County, among many Republicans to focus on letting the voters decide.Democrats said the measure was a step that will put GOP lawmakers closer to achieving what is, for most of them, a longstanding goal: to prohibit or severely limit access to abortion."It's a pathway," said Rep.

COVID nursing home deaths claim is Pennsylvania governor campaign trail mainstay

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Doug Mastriano, Pennsylvania’s Republican nominee for governor, has made a campaign staple out of the allegation that Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf's policy of readmitting COVID-19 patients from hospitals to nursing homes caused thousands of deaths — a baseless claim for which no investigator or researcher has provided any evidence.In fact, layers of inspections by researchers have pointed to entirely something different — nursing home employees ushering in the virus every day — while investigators found administrators flouting staffing requirements or infection-control procedures.Further, no Pennsylvania nursing home has leveled any such claim like Mastriano's, and a national nursing home trade association has agreed with the findings of researchers who say the spread of the virus in nursing homes directly correlated to community spread.Regardless, Mastriano has repeated the unfounded claim in front of friendly audiences, weaponizing COVID-19 in an effort to hurt Democrats in one of the nation’s most important governor’s races in this midterm election cycle.Mastriano, a state senator and retired U.S.

Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner should be ousted, says father of slain teen

HARRISBURG - Victims of Philadelphia’s spiraling crime crisis spoke out Tuesday, calling for the impeachment of embattled Democratic District Attorney Larry Krasner.Nakisha Lewis, the mother of 21-year-old Domonic Billa, who was murdered at a Philadelphia mall in March 2021, blasted Krasner at a press conference held in the rotunda of the state’s capitol building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania."The pain that is deep in my heart is so deep that sometimes I don’t want to live," she said, standing at a podium with a crowd of supporters behind her. "The lawlessness that has gone on in Philadelphia is beyond out of control."She continued, "I’m begging you, we need to do whatever it takes for change." Gregory Smith, 21, was arrested Wednesday and charged in the murder of Dominic Billa, according to authorities. Her son had gone to the mall March 29 to buy a pair of pants for a job interview when he was shot, she said. His stepfather is a county detective.

Unlikely duo: Pennsylvania Democrats aim to form united front

HARRISBURG, Pa. - One candidate is unabashedly blunt, willing to embrace progressive positions, doing little to build rapport with party leaders and dominating rooms with a 6-foot-8-inch frame. The other crafts a more moderate image, a deliberate public speaker who became a congressional aide out of college and has carefully cultivated relationships within the party ever since.In both style and substance, John Fetterman and Josh Shapiro strike dramatically different profiles.Yet their fate — and that of the Democratic Party — is intertwined in a pair of Pennsylvania elections that will be among the most closely watched in the U.S.Fetterman offers Democrats their clearest path to picking up a U.S.

Bill that would limit inmates' records access passes House

(Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) HARRISBURG, Pa. - Supporters of the bill say it would help stem a tide of frivolous requests that can tie up state resources, while opponents say it's unlikely to cure the problem and probably unconstitutional, to boot.The bill passed the House with a 112-88 vote Tuesday and now goes to the Senate. It would amend the state’s Right-to-Know Law by restricting the access inmates have to documents held by governments and public agencies.Agencies would be required to supply public government documents about the inmate only in specified categories, and as long as those records don’t "diminish the safety or security" of anyone or the correctional facility where the inmate is being held.Incarcerated people are regarded as any other requester through current law, said Liz Wagenseller, executive director of the Office of Open Records.Rep.

3 Pa. House Republicans announce plan to draft articles of impeachment against Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Three Republican members of the Pennsylvania House announced plans to draft articles of impeachment against Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner. On Monday, Pennsylvania House Republicans Josh Kail, Torren Ecker and Tim O’Neal made the announcement in Harrisburg. None of the three officials involved represent the constituents of the Philadelphia area. The announcement of plans to draft articles of impeachment comes as Krasner faces continued criticism about his office’s handling of gun cases in the city plagued by gun violence and rising crime. Krasner, who is on his second term, was first elected to the role in 2017 with a focus on supporting victims, exonerating innocent people wrongly convicted of crimes and reducing the population of local jails. RELATED HEADLINESCritics have blamed Krasner and other progressive prosecutors for an increase in gun crimes, while supporters say the rise in crime could be attributed to reduced social services and economic instability caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. "Lives have been lost, property has been destroyed and families have been crushed. Enough is enough," Kail said.
