Lehigh Valley Riders Pin Hopes On Democrats After Years Of LANTA Cuts

Bradley Snyder rides LANTA buses to get to work, to go shopping, and to visit his daughter — the kind of daily reliance that has made him watch closely as Pennsylvania's public transit agencies absorbed cut after cut over the past several years. Now, with Democrats holding control of state government following the recent elections, riders and advocates across the Lehigh Valley are asking whether Harrisburg will finally deliver the long-term funding fix transit agencies have needed since the state's last major transportation funding overhaul in 2013.

Williamsport mayor, PennDOT announce stop sign installation at busy intersection

Williamsport, Pa. — PennDOT and The City of Williamsport announced today that a stop sign will be installed on the southbound lane of Market Street at the intersection with Washington Boulevard. A PennDOT maintenance crew is scheduled to install the stop sign next week while the contractor for the City of Williamsport installs the pavement markings. Drivers can expect lane restrictions between Hepburn Street and Washington Boulevard during daylight hours. The stop sign is being installed at this location after a PennDOT traffic study determined that it is warranted at this intersection. Once the stop sign is in place, all approaches to the intersection will be required to stop, and standard right-of-way rules will apply. Right-of-way will be determined by order of arrival at the intersection. If two vehicles arrive simultaneously, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way. Regardless of arrival order, drivers should proceed through the intersection only when it is safe to do so and remain alert to other vehicles and road users.

Loyalsock Township proposes eliminating municipal property tax for 2027

Loyalsock Twp., Pa. — The Loyalsock Township Board of Supervisors announced a proposal to eliminate the municipal property tax for the upcoming 2027 budget. Under the proposed budget, the township's real estate tax rate would drop from 0.5 mills to 0.0 mills, effectively removing the municipal property tax burden for all local property owners. The financial impact is about $375,000 per year in township revenue, according to Bill Burdett, township manager. Other revenue sources, cost savings measures, and financial reserves will cover the loss of revenue, Burdett added. Former 14-year Loyalsock Township Supervisor and current Lycoming County Commissioner Marc Sortman said at a commissioners' meeting this morning that the proposal is "just a phenomenal thing" and "shows government can work properly." "Government can reduce what they do, the size that they are, and they can save the taxpayers’ money," Sortman continued, largely crediting Burdette for the proposal. The historic proposal was introduced by Chairman Paul Nyman, Vice Chair John Bower, and board members Virginia Eaton, Mike Reed, and Rich Trowbridge to provide direct financial relief to the community amid broader economic pressures. "This action will help our residents, businesses, and particularly our seniors by reducing their property tax burden," Burdett
