Mt. Wolf, Pa.
Activists converged on Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s home in Mount Wolf, Pa., May 2 to demand the medical release of political prisoner Russell Maroon Shoatz and all ill and elderly prisoners. The action began with a “caravan of love” from nearby York to Mt. Wolf, where the sign-bearing vehicles encircled the block three times before participants held an in-person rally along the sidewalk in front of his home.
In addition to the colorful banners and placards, a scroll bearing the names of 145 organizations including the Prisoners Solidarity Committee of Workers World Party, who had signed a letter demanding Shoatz’ immediate release was unfurled and laid out on the sidewalk.
Pennsylvania Takes Next Step to Start Carbon Emissions Caps in 2022
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s administration on Tuesday solidified its intention to begin imposing a price on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants next year as part of a multi-state consortium, over the protests of coal- and gas-region lawmakers and elements of the energy industry.
After fielding thousands of written public comments, Wolf’s administration issued a final rule for the regulatory plan with the same timeline and same goals for reductions in carbon dioxide, considered a major driver of global warming.
The rule must still go through two state regulatory boards with veto power, although both are tilted toward Wolf appointees and allies.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf announced this week that the Commonwealth will not continue to do business with its contact tracing vendor following a security incident that potentially exposed the personal information of approximately 72,000 residents collected for the Department of Health’s (DoH) contact tracing program.
According to the (DoH), employees of the vendor created documents containing personal information online and did not secure them properly, allowing the information to be accessible. It is unknown whether any of the personal information was viewed by an unauthorized individual.
Following the incident, several state lawmakers started working on data privacy and security legislation to address the concerns of disclosing personal information to vendors.

On the same day that New Jersey announced that Atlantic City casinos can return to 100 percent capacity effective May 19, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) said state casinos can do the same, but beginning on Memorial Day.
Pennsylvania is home to 14 commercial casinos. Four more are on the way, though those facilities are so-called “satellite casinos” that can house up to 750 slot machines and 30 table games.
