A ‘blue wave' swept both Pennsylvania and the country. How did it look in Centre County?

A graphic for Centre County Democrats’ Election Night Party featured a blue wave — and few realized just how prescient that would become Tuesday night. Democrats made historic election gains across much of Pennsylvania and the country. They’re now set to control the commonwealth’s “trifecta” — meaning Pennsylvania’s governorship, state House and state Senate — for the first time in 33 years. Nationally, the Dems also took control of both the U.S. House and Senate. By the end of Tuesday night, some even labeled it a “ blue tsunami .” “I think it might’ve even exceeded my expectations,” Gov. Josh Shapiro, who also easily won reelection, told CBS on Wednesday morning . Centre County Dems’ Tuesday night party at Hyatt Place State College proved lively, with an energized crowd clapping along to blue gains announced on CNN. They applauded when Annie Andrews flipped a South Carolina Senate seat to blue for the first time in more than 20 years, and they undoubtedly celebrated when Kansas elected a Democratic U.S. senator for the first time since 1932. But, despite the local celebration, no red seats flipped blue in Centre County. U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Howard, and state Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, R-Bellefonte,

State College Spikes to remain at Medlar Field under revised agreement with PSU

The State College Spikes will remain at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park under a revised agreement with Penn State, bringing an end to a contentious dispute that called the organization’s long-term future into question . Terms of the agreement were not released. In seeking to evict the Spikes from the university-owned ballpark, Penn State sought at least $1.7 million in termination rent and what it said were other unpaid costs. “The revised agreement allows the Spikes to continue calling the ballpark home and provides stability for fans and the broader community,” Penn State said Wednesday in a written statement. “Both organizations look forward to moving ahead together and continuing to make the facility a premier destination for baseball, family entertainment and community events.” An email left Wednesday afternoon with an attorney for the Spikes was not immediately returned. In a joint court filing, Penn State and the Spikes said they resolved all claims and disputes stemming from the Spikes’ appeal of a lower court’s ruling in favor of the university. The two were scheduled to meet in early October with a retired federal judge for mediation. The case would be dismissed with prejudice, meaning the same claims cannot be refiled.
