3 Chesco legislators embarrass themselves — and us — on anti-abortion bill vote
By Mike McGann, Editor, the Times @mikemcgannpa
Just when you think our “great” legislature can’t get worse, it has a “here, hold my beer” moment.
Such as with HB 118, one of the most ignorant, hateful and useless pieces of legislation ever passed by any political body in history. Yes, it will be vetoed and purged by Gov. Tom Wolf.

The fact-challenged whiners are winning on COVID, and we’re all going to lose
By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
Well, ready or not, we’re reopening.
Tomorrow, restaurants will be allowed to operate at 50% capacity, it looks like the college football leagues that initially cancelled will now try to play and there is increasing pressure for local school districts to resume in-person instruction.
