Letter to the editor: Everyone must pay their fair share

Regarding the letter “Democrats robbing us” (Nov. 4, TribLive): The writer’s frantic warning that local leaders are coming for working families’ “very last dollar” ignores a fundamental economic reality: the vast majority of citizens do not hold the massive portfolios, trusts and expansive estates he defends. Equating potential tax measures on high-value asset growth to an oppressive tax on “life and death” masks remarkable economic privilege as false populism.

John Fetterman may face Gaza-born Democratic socialist challenger in 2028

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - Though Senator John Fetterman has not yet publicly announced whether he'll run for reelection in 2028, he already has a challenger looking to take his seat. Gaza-born Philadelphia resident Ahmed Moor publicly announced his candidacy in an X post early Monday morning. He is an author, businessman and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. "My name is Ahmed Moor and I’m running for US Senate here in PA (election 2028). I’m running to end the war in Iran and to promote the dignity agenda: free healthcare, free childcare, and affordable housing," he wrote. "...

Big corporations dodge taxes as Pennsylvania families pick up the tab

10 Pennsylvania Festivals That Prove November Is No Time To Stay Home

A single chrysanthemum plant in Pennsylvania gets trained to hold more than a thousand matching blooms at once. One plant. A thousand flowers. I still can’t get over that. Gardeners start growing it in January, and the planning for its big show begins two years ahead. That kind of patience feels wild to me, especially for a display that lasts only a few weeks in fall.

Penn State Expecting $124M Budget Shortfall

Penn State officials said on Monday that they are taking steps, including a series of targeted budget reductions, to address an expected shortfall of $124 million for the current fiscal year. The shortfall in the university's $2.2 billion education and general budget, which funds core academic programs, instruction and research, is the result of what Penn State says are financial pressures facing colleges nationwide, including overall enrollment declines and rising health insurance costs. Penn State reported its largest ever undergraduate enrollment this fall at the University Park campus, where it welcomed a record-high first-year class of 9,907 as it works toward a previously announced goal of 10,000 for incoming freshman classes. But overall, the university saw a total enrollment decrease across all campuses of 3,058, with half of that decline at the seven Commonwealth Campuses slated for closure after the spring semester. While that decrease at the closing campuses was anticipated, Penn State says that due to the timing of the university's two-year budgeting process, the impacts of the enrollment declines "were not included in the original modeling for the FY 2026-27 budget." Graduate student enrollment also decreases by 742, international student enrollment by 922 and out-of-state student enrollment by
