Pennsylvania's mail-in voting law gets beaten up on GOP campaign trail

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Election integrity and Pennsylvania's mail-in voting law are prominent subjects in the state's Republican primary contest for an open state Supreme Court seat, as Donald Trump continues to baselessly claim that the 2020 election was stolen.This year, two GOP primary rivals for the state Supreme Court seat in Tuesday's primary election are signaling their disapproval of Pennsylvania’s expansive mail-in voting law.In one appearance last month, Carolyn Carluccio, a Montgomery County judge, called the mail-in voting law "bad" for the state and for faith in elections. She suggested elections are too "secretive" and promised that if the law comes before the high court "I’m going to be happy to take a look at it."Meanwhile, Patricia McCullough, a judge on the statewide Commonwealth Court, repeatedly highlights her rulings in election-related cases, including voting to throw out the mail-in voting law."Election integrity, that seems to be like the most important issue to the people right now," McCullough told an interviewer on public access television in Erie last month.Both parties will pick a high court nominee to run in November's general election.

Philadelphia Newspapers LLC, owner of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News, and Philly.com, filed for bankruptcy pro PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Inquirer experienced the most significant disruption to its operations in 27 years due to what the newspaper calls a cyberattack.The company was working to restore print operations after a cyber incursion that prevented the printing of the newspaper's Sunday print edition, the Inquirer reported on its website.The news operation's website was still operational Sunday, although updates were slower than normal, the Inquirer reported.Inquirer publisher Lisa Hughes said Sunday "we are currently unable to provide an exact time line" for full restoration of the paper's systems."We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we work to fully restore systems and complete this investigation as soon as possible," Hughes said in an email responding to questions from the paper's newsroom.The attack was first detected when employees on Saturday morning found the newspaper's content-management system was not working.The Inquirer "discovered anomalous activity on select computer systems and immediately took those systems off-line," Hughes said.The cyberattack has caused the largest disruption to publication of Pennsylvania’s largest news organization since a massive blizzard in January 1996, the Inquirer reported.The cyberattack precedes a mayoral primary election scheduled for Tuesday.

Environmental groups sue Shell over air quality at massive new Pennsylvania petrochemical plant

(Photo by Andrew CABALLERO-REYNOLDS / AFP) (Photo by ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS/AFP via Getty Images) Shell is putting residents' health at risk by persistently violating air quality standards at its massive new petrochemical refinery in western Pennsylvania, an environmental group alleged in a lawsuit Thursday.The "cracker" plant, located along the Ohio River about 30 miles (48 kilometers) outside Pittsburgh, opened in November and uses ethane from a vast shale gas reservoir underneath Pennsylvania and surrounding states to makes polyethylene, a plastic used in everything from consumer and food packaging to tires.A federal lawsuit filed by the Clean Air Council alleges that operator Shell Chemical Appalachia LLC — a subsidiary of British oil and gas giant Shell plc — is violating state and federal limits on smog, as well as emissions limits in its state-approved operating plan.Clean Air Council members who live near the plant are "concerned about the impact of the plant’s illegal pollution on their health and the health of their families," the suit said, noting that smog can worsen respiratory conditions such as bronchitis and asthma. The plaintiffs asked a judge to order Shell to bring the plant into compliance, and impose civil penalties of up to $140,000 per day.RELATED COVERAGEShell spokesperson Curtis Smith said the company had no comment on the suit.The plant has been shut down for repairs since early April after Shell said it identified a problem with its flaring system, which is designed to burn off unwanted gases.

Man performed illegal surgeries on dogs without veterinary license, Pennsylvania SPCA says
