This past September Wegmans opened a new location in Pennsylvania, leaving the company two stores short of a 100-location HARRISBURG, Pa. - Pennsylvania's Democratic-controlled House of Representatives approved a measure by a close vote Tuesday that would raise the minimum wage to $15 by 2026, fulfilling a long-held party campaign plank that has run up against Republican legislative majorities for years.The bill passed 103-100 with all but one Democrat voting for it and two Republicans joining them.

But it has an uncertain future in the Republican-controlled Senate as lawmakers and Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro increasingly focus on budget legislation ahead of the July 1 start of the new fiscal year.Pennsylvania's minimum wage is set at the federal minimum of $7.25, and last increased in 2009.The measure would gradually increase the minimum wage to $15 by changing from $7.25 to $11 in its first year, then to $13 in 2025 and finally to $15 in 2026.

The bill ties future increases to inflation, which sponsors say mirrors action taken by 15 other states.The legislation would also increase the tipped wage to 60% of the minimum wage from the current $2.83 an hour.

I-95 reconstruction: Crews to use NASCAR jet dryer to finish construction during upcoming rainy stretch

PHILADELPHIA - Officials in Pennsylvania confirmed Wednesday that Interstate 95 will reopen this weekend, less than two weeks after a gasoline tanker crash and fire caused the roadway to collapse."Based on the tremendous progress these crews made over the weekend and the time it takes to complete the remaining steps, I can now say that we will have I-95 back open this weekend," Governor Josh Shapiro said. Shapiro and PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll lauded the "round the clock" work of road crews to complete the expedited project ahead of schedule. A section of the northbound lanes of the elevated highway collapsed early June 11 after a tractor-trailer hauling gasoline flipped over on an off-ramp and caught fire. State transportation officials said the driver, who was killed, lost control around a curve.

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro says he expects traffic to be moving within the next two weeks.There is no timeline for how long it will take to be permanently fixed, but people are optimistic about the progress, saying they would never have believed two weeks for a solution when the damage was so severe just one week ago.From the air Friday, a gaping hole as workers dropped glass aggregate along a wall.
