Reply to comment by justonmon3 in Looking to move from Baltimore to somewhere around Shrewsbury. by justonmon3
That's good enough...you'll fit in well! There are some in Shrewsberry that are left leaning as well. The local taxes and registering your car annually are the big changes, but dependent on your community, you are saving big on taxes when compared in Maryland. Notably school taxes.

I would support a requirement to keep pay the same, but even then businesses will catch up with this by slashing benefits or cutting raises until their labor costs balance out.
The only way this works is economics. Hopefully, if a law like this was passed, it would make labor more scarce, and therefore increase the price of labor. Supply and demand.

Most of my work gets done with days to spare. Luckily I'm not in the office so I can chill.

Oh here we go with the division. Cool your jets.
And last time I checked, you can vote for school board without being a parent. Unless I missed something.

There's a line to draw somewhere, but nobody has enough time to process every time a local, state, or federal representative comes up with a dumb proposal that probably won't even get a committee vote.

PA gonna offer the same refund to the trucking carriers that use the Turnpike?
Cause doing so might tempt more carriers to open up the Turnpike to their drivers, thus lessening the ever-increasing congestion on I-80. Either that, or toll I-80 at the same rate as the Turnpike.

The Pennsylvania Family Institute he's the communications director for is just a cookie cutter far right religious activist organization.
Under their "issues" listings you can find
-
anti-abortion listed as "life"
-
anti-gay listed as "family"
-
anti-trans listed as "culture"
-
anti-gay and anti-trans listed as "religious freedom"

Never, ever, EVER going to happen. Not really something that time should be spent on. Start with better wages, better health care, better workers rights, pro, child birth leave, etc. I'd rather have all of those than a 4 day work week.

As far as state stuff goes, take a look at r/Pennsylvania
I recently found out through there that PA taxes your 401K contributions when the money goes in, but not when it pulls out, and that if you live in PA but retire in a state that taxes the money when it's withdrawn, you end up getting double taxed. Blew my mind.

"insurnace" How can you specialize in it if you can't even spell it?

Fellow Pennsylvanians: Let's make this dum-dum cry. Support Gov Shapiro's proposal to make cannabis available to every Pennsylvanian 21 years or older.

Reply to Inspection sticker for my car expired. What can I do, especially if I'm out of state? by GummyBear6009
No worries, as long as your insurance is good. When you are in a different state you fall within a grey area where unless the PA DMV puts out a national bulletin against your license you are good to go until you return to registered state. Upon return, you have 10 days in PA to get it inspected. If you are pulled over during that time, be super cool, super respectful and tell all the facts like they are. If you do that, no cop is going to give you a ticket. A trooper might give you a written notice where you are essentially “on notice” with the state to show out and provide proof you are taking care of it or face the full consequences. Otherwise though, as long as you actually do it and not wait a couple months once you are back, you are good.

Maybe they should do Little School Board of Horrors.

It's fiat so it expires when the US financial system does. Which seems soon.
