Bellefonte Rally Celebrates Election Results, Calls for Follow-Through on Campaign Promises

What started as a planned rally to protect election results against potential challenges turned into a celebration Saturday morning, as about 18 local residents gathered outside the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte following Tuesday's election. The gathering was one of more than 10 rallies planned across Pennsylvania, with organizers celebrating the results while calling on elected officials to follow through on promises to working families. Robert Zeigler, an organizer with Central PA United, said the rally was originally planned because of concerns that the election results might be challenged. But after strong voter participation and an election process he said went smoothly, organizers decided to shift the focus. Zeigler credited poll workers, election observers, volunteers and voters for helping make that possible. "Just because a certain political party has won doesn't mean that you can't hold them accountable," Zeigler said. Tuesday's election gave Democrats a projected 26–24 majority in the Pennsylvania Senate . The party also retained and expanded its majority in the state House, while Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro won reelection over Republican Stacy Garrity. Maren Larsn speaks at a rally celebrating 2026 election results on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, in front of the Centre County Courthouse in Bellefonte.

Will real estate taxes increase again in State College? Here is what's proposed

Weeks of discussion remain until State College borough’s 2027 budget is formally adopted but, during an informational council work session Friday afternoon, senior borough staff presented a proposed budget that would include a steeper real estate tax increase than the last one. Staff proposed a three-mill tax increase, which means homeowners would pay about 12% more next year. In other words, a home with a current market value of $500,000 would see an annual bill that amounts to $245.90 more than before — while those with homestead exemptions would instead pay $170.90 more than before. “We are proposing a three-mill tax increase just because we’re unstructurally balanced, and we need to move toward achieving that,” finance director Dwight Miller told borough council during the public work session, as passing the budget ultimately rests with council. The borough’s General Fund is about $2 million out of balance, and the proposed real estate tax increase would be expected to raise a little more than $1.8 million. But, again, State College borough remains weeks away from any proposal becoming a reality. At this time last year, an eight-mill tax increase was proposed before council directed senior borough staff to find alternatives . They

New Pennsylvania law requires sellers to disclose home's flood history, flood-insurance

Even if a home experienced just a few inches of flooding on its bottom floor, the result could be tens of thousands of dollars in damage. However, to date, Pennsylvania homeowners have had to disclose relatively little information about a property's flood history and potential flood risk to potential buyers.

When Different Lot Rents Are Lawful: Applying the MHCRA’s “Same or Similar Category” Rule

The Pennsylvania Manufactured Home Community Rights Act (“MHCRA”) does not require every homesite in a manufactured home community to carry identical rent, fees, or charges. It does, however, require that rental charges and rules be uniformly applied to residents and prospective residents in the “same or similar category.” 68 P.S. § 398.4(b). But, what does the “same or similar category” mean? The MHCRA Standard For community owners and operators, the practical question is not simply whether Lot 12 costs more than Lot 13. The question is whether the community can identify, apply, and document a legitimate category-based reason for the difference. Section 398.4 of the MHCRA permits a community owner to establish fair and reasonable rules related to the health, safety, and upkeep of the community, provided they are not arbitrary or capricious. It also requires uniform application of “all rules or rental charges” to lessees or prospective occupants of the same or similar category. “Rental charges” should be treated broadly for compliance purposes. Accordingly, a community should not analyze lot rent in isolation. The category analysis should encompass the entire recurring economic package charged by the owner or operator: lot rent; amenity-related charges; water, sewer, trash, cable, internet, fuel,

PA Auctions Off Former Rockview Items

A wide array of surplus items from the recently shuttered Rockview State Prison in Centre County, has officially hit the auction block, even as the ultimate fate of the facility’s thousands of acres of valuable real estate remains fiercely contested. The online liquidation, hosted on the Pennsylvania Department of General Services website, features everything from industrial power tools and office desks to a prison basketball hoop. Following the closure of the historic Centre County institution, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections conducted a comprehensive inventory of the prison’s assets. State officials prioritized transferring reusable equipment to neighboring facilities, including the nearby SCI Benner Township, before handing the remaining surplus over to General Services for public sale. The sale comes amid a total standstill regarding the future of the massive state-owned footprint. While a portion of the property has already been earmarked for absorption by SCI Benner, the destiny of the remaining thousands of acres is fueling intense local speculation. Area stakeholders view the site as a premier development opportunity. Local real estate experts have described the vacant expanse as potentially the most valuable piece of real estate in the Commonwealth, comparing the open acreage to a “clean canvas” for future builders and planners.
