Preventing another Bristol is essential - and achievable
The tragic explosion at a Bucks County nursing home on Dec. 23 was a horrifying reminder of what’s at stake when our long-term care system is stretched to its breaking point. While we must wait until investigations determine exactly what went wrong, it is painfully clear that Pennsylvania cannot continue to allow conditions in skilled nursing facilities to deteriorate to the point where residents’ safety is compromised.
Nurses can write the script for increased health care access, reduced costs
By Camera Bartolotta We’ve all experienced long waits when trying to get medical care. If it feels more common than before, that’s because it is. Burnout and retirements, particularly post-pandemic, created huge gaps in the number of nurses and doctors available across Pennsylvania. Having fewer health care providers creates more issues than simply delayed medical care, though that’s certainly a big enough problem on its own.

OP-ED: $4.7 million is owed to Greene County residents. Is some of it yours?
You know the excitement you get when you find a few dollars in an old coat pocket? Well, a quick search for unclaimed property could bring the same feeling – except much better – for thousands of people living in Greene County. Right now, the Pennsylvania Treasury has $4.7 million waiting for Greene County residents – and a total of more than $4 billion for Pennsylvanians statewide. This money is known as unclaimed property, and the state is safeguarding it until the rightful owners are found.
OP-ED: Pipelines Can Secure Our Energy and Economic Future
Just this past November, President Joe Biden celebrated the one-year anniversary of his Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and touted the once-in-a-generation improvements for highway, bridge, rail, electric transmission and other projects that the law will fund – all paid for with taxpayer dollars.
OP-ED: Demanding governmental accountability with a constitutional amendment
People all over the world will always remember how COVID-19 completely upended their lives. It was a truly challenging time we couldn’t have anticipated. But Pennsylvanians experienced another unexpected occurrence of arguably equal magnitude. When tough decisions had to be made, our representative government – designed to reflect the will of the people – was essentially nullified.
John R. Lott: John Fetterman is wrong about voter I.D.
Last week, Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate Democrat John Fetterman said that requiring a voter I.D. is “insidious and unnecessary,” “outrageous,” “illogical,” “unfair,” and “simply voter suppression.” He says that concerns about vote fraud are a myth. But if concerns about vote fraud are a delusion, it is a delusion shared by virtually all other countries and by the vast majority of American voters (79%).
COMMENTARY: As Pennsylvania begins its slow recovery from COVID-19, small businesses must be a top priority
As restaurants, bars, gyms, entertainment venues and other small employers look forward to higher capacity limits and fewer restrictions starting April 4, there is a sense of optimism that the worst of this year-long COVID-19 nightmare may finally be behind us. However, reality tells us these and other small businesses will take years – not just weeks or months – to fully recover from the extraordinary struggles of the past year.

OP-ED: Pa. restaurants need more on the table
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on all of us across the commonwealth. In the midst of this crisis, it has been inspiring to see so many front-line defenders step up to confront this threat every day – our doctors, nurses, first responders, and all others in public health who have put their own safety at risk for others. But, just as these heroic efforts are carrying us through the public health crisis, we face an economic emergency on the other side.
OP-ED: Shale gas crucial to state's economy and beyond
Pennsylvania’s development of shale gas is a homegrown industry with national and global benefits – from improving air quality to reshaping geopolitics – making America and our allies stronger and more secure. The industry in our commonwealth has transitioned from producing 20% of the state’s natural gas consumption to producing 20% of the nation’s consumption. It has grown into an industry that supports more than 322,000 jobs and generates approximately $23 billion in wages annually.
Unleash skilled nurses
Pennsylvania is in the midst of a health care crisis, and nowhere is the problem more obvious than in rural communities. Insurance and service costs have gone through the roof. Many doctors refuse to accept new patients, and some even turn away existing patients who rely on government-sponsored health care coverage. Availability of health care is becoming an even more serious challenge. As older doctors in rural areas retire, fewer new physicians are opening up shop to replace them.
COMMENTARY Firearms-in-schools bill would help rural districts
A July 5 editorial in the Observer-Reporter, “Teachers should keep their guns at home,” criticized our vote in favor of a proposal that could provide another layer of protection against mass-casualty events and other senseless acts of violence in schools. The bill in question would allow school boards to make a final decision regarding whether individual teachers and other school personnel should be allowed to possess a firearm on school grounds.
