Dispute over proposed warehouse complex in Swatara Township could take years: attorney Updated Mar 15, 2021; Depending on the Commonwealth Court’s decision about a proposed warehouse zoning matter in Swatara Township, it could take up to two years before the situation is settled, according to the township’s solicitor. Commissioners on Feb. 25 voted 3-to-2 to appeal Dauphin County Judge John F. Cherry’s decision that reversed the board’s unanimous 5-0 vote from a year before that denied Mushroom Hill, LLC, a conditional use permit. The permit is needed to move forward to construct a 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse complex in the township. ....
March 18, 2021 A $7.4 billion budget that would increase state government spending by 4.8 percent in the upcoming fiscal year cleared the New Mexico Senate along a mostly party-line vote Wednesday after an hourslong debate riddled with political potshots and last-minute amendments. “Not everybody’s going to like what’s in the budget,” said Sen.

For over 2,300 years, starting with the populares of the ancient Roman Republic, âpopulistsâ were activists from the lesser classes fighting the oppressive rule of dominant classes. They were progressives or leftists. But today, âpopulistâ is mostly used to describe rightist movements who present no real challenges to those dominant classes. Things have become so corrupt that the billionairesâ friend, President Donald Trump, himself of all people, is labeled a âpopulist,â as in Landlerâs article.
