Ok, first, make a law to test people under the influence of weed. Then follow the guidelines of drunk driving laws. Take away their license and raise their insurance premiums sky high just like they do with drunk drivers. Then if you’re in an accident involving someone who is driving under the influence of pot, sue them for damages as “high” as the law allows. Sorry, you use, you abuse, you lose big time. Okay potheads show how big, tough and bad you are on here. Because it will only push me harder to have the influence laws passed and strictly enforced. So tick me off.

I don't agree with you.

Because it's a boondoggle that should have never been built. Can you imagine the absolute insanity in red PA if you proposed spending $1 billion on SEPTA?

I live in Selinsgrove and my brother in law is a structural engineer who specializes in bridges and roads.

The article correctly explains that this cost increase has relates to material costs and inflation.

Not sure why you’re attacking PennDOT for that…

I live in selinsgrove, and yes, this project solves a lot of annoying truck traffic going through shamokin dam.

I sense a toll increase in the near future

Hope is not a strategy.

These long duration projects always go up in cost due to inflation. It’s really not a big deal except if you want to write hyperbolic headline like this article

> Unit prices were established at the time of bidding but the contract does include provisions for adjustments associated with standard price indexes such as diesel fuel, asphalt, and steel

Some projects have major unexpected obstacles like the route interstate 99 when they realized they exposed acidic rock and had to spend $100 million in remediation

Thanks 🙏!!

Cool 👍👍

Thy Monessen mill made the steel for the cables that span the Golden Gate Bridge.

Lewisburg is really nice and pretty forward thinking in the central part of Pennsylvania!

Philly is rough but unless you're hanging out in parts of North or West it's not that bad. Just need to spend time with people who've been around for a minute and don't spend all day on the next door app, they're not as on edge.

I'm more stressed about the housing costs in Philly, montco and delco.

Cumberland County is a pretty nice place, we get over to Pine Grove Furnace to swim every summer.

My wife from Lancaster still makes fun of the way I say some things after being together almost 14 years lol

And yeah the hill thing really amuses me. It's really fun driving a manual transmission out there.

Thanks!

I tell you it’s those damn man woman show things and THE MARIJUANA!!!!!!!

Well and the rampant crime funded by bootleg liquor

Seems like no one asked for your opinion either 😉😂

Apparently there were a bunch of studies that proved Piracy actually increases video game sales, but the media only references the parts of the study on music and movies.

Yes

Dougie can get slammed in yet another race.

My parents moved from Washington County to Cumberland County before I was born. Ofc, I'd go back there with them sometimes to see family. There's definitely linguistic differences. My speech is primarily South-Central PA (soda, not pop, tvym) with a few Pittsburgheze words/syntax thrown in, but I can understand Pittsburgheze.

And the hill thing! What they call a hill, I call the side of a mountain! (My parents are STILL that way, over 40 years later.)

I’m sure that we will see all kinds of enhanced services from the state with all that weed tax money! I am high right now!

Wilkes Barre is pretty fruity so that could be where you could move
