Pennsylvania Budget Hearings Underway
The Pennsylvania House Appropriations Committee has began its annual budget hearings, notes State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129).
The Independent Fiscal Office, Department of Revenue, Department of Aging, and the offices of Auditor General and Attorney General were among the first to testify. The hearings will continue through the end of the month to ensure all state departments and agencies are provided an opportunity to testify and to allow members to ask questions regarding proposed allocations in the 2014-15 spending plan, says Cox.

Comcast Deal Makes Philly Cable King
Comcast Deal Makes Philly Cable King — Comcast, the Philadelphia-based communication conglomerate that is the nation’s largest cable company, has agreed to pay $45.2 billion to get Time Warner Cable Inc., which is the second largest cable company.It’s not necessarily good news for journalism or those interested in pursuing truth as Comcast also owns NBC and MSNBC, which are infamous propaganda tools for the “progressive” movements.
Hey, that’s a question all you OWS types should ask: Why does the world’s largest mass media company feign sympathy towards you? One of those things that should make you go hmmmm, it seems.
Comcast gets chronically low customer satisfaction grades.
We use Verizon here and are generally happy with it.
For those really wanting to save some bucks consider getting a Roku which gives you close to 100 free channels including Pandora music and repeats of Fox News shows along with Wall Street Journal reports. Add a $9 per month Netflix subscription and your entertainment needs are covered. You will still need a high speed internet connection to use it, though.
