Lawsuit against NCAA could cost PA thousands

The bombshell lawsuit against the NCAA announced by Governor Corbett Wednesday, could mean a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars for Pennsylvania.

We all know litigation is expensive , especially at this level.  And with such an in depth case, there's no way it will be cheap.  But, if the case goes through, there is one thing that could prevent PA taxpayers from having to spend a dime on it.

Former Pennsylvania Attorney General Walter Cohen says the lawsuit filed by Governor Tom Corbett was unexpected.  But he says there are some things that can be expected moving forward, first, lots of litigation. "If this cases goes long, over years, it could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars of legal fees."

But Cohen says the lawsuit was filed with the possibility of a state win, which would delete taxpayer expense.  There is a question they are seeking for the NCAA pay those legal fees if PA is successful.

But that's if the case even makes it to trial.  Cohen says the NCAA may try to settle to avoid a messy investigation.  "The NCAA will have to, in discovery, reveal a lot of info.  It's very possible they don't want to do that." 

To prevent the legal bills, that scenario, would have to happen sooner rather than later.

Again this is an anti trust suit, the point is not to seek money as damages, just revocation of sanctions.

Turnpike travelers will see higher rates, starting this weekend

Travelers on the Pennsylvania Turnpike will pay more beginning Sunday.  Tolls for cash customers will jump by 10%. E-ZPass customer rates will only increase by 2%.

If you think toll revenues go solely to maintain the turnpike, you're wrong. Five years ago, the General Assembly decided to make the commission give $250 million a year to the state public transit agencies and $200 million to PennDOT for off-turnpike road and bridge projects.

The turnpike must also pay for its own highway reconstruction and widening projects.

To-date more than 100 miles of the 72-year-old system have been rebuilt at a cost of about $20 million per mile.

The new rate increase is expected to bring in $25 million dollars in new money this year.

The Turnpike Commission has set EZ-Pass rates lower than cash rates since 2011.

Starting this weekend, a Turnpike trip from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh will cost a motorist $19 in tolls.  But if you have E-ZPass, the toll is only $14.87 one way.

Because it costs less to process an electronic transaction compared to cash, the commission wants to increase E-ZPass enrollment.

Getting an EZ-Pass is simple. You start out answering a few questions and provide drivers license and vehicle registration information.

You pay a $3 fee for the transponder and then using a credit, debit card or bank account you start with a $35 balance.

About 68 % of turnpike travelers use EZ-Pass.  The commission hopes to grow that number and planners say in the coming years a completely cashless toll collection system will be in operation.

Jobs could be saved at one Lancaster County company if a new buyout goes through

Nearly 112 jobs in Lancaster County could be saved after a global corporation has show interest in buying a local struggling company.

Sources tell CBS 21 News that Cargill was in town Thursday, working on this deal. But the sale of Pennfield Corporation is not definite. Pennfield is in bankruptcy so before the sale can happen a court has to approve it.

For the past 93 years, Lancaster County’s Pennfield Corporation has been supplying livestock feed and services all along the east coast. The company has a few locations in PA including this one in Mount Joy.

But lately, due to low milk prices and high feed costs, the company has been struggling. In October, it filed for bankruptcy.

But now Cargill, a giant company with 150,000 employees in 65 countries, is showing interest. With the $8.5 million agreement, Cargill will acquire most of Pennfield’s assets. But, other bidders will have an opportunity to bid.

Pennfield’s President Arnie Sumner released this statement: “We are very pleased that Cargill, with their stature and international presence, desired to acquire Pennfield’s business. We believe that Cargill will be a good steward of the business going forward, building on Pennfield’s superior product quality and our strong commitment to customer service.”

This is not the first time another company has shown interest in buying Pennfield. In October, a company called Wellsource Holding tried to buy it, but the deal fell through.

The sale by the court will be approved, or denied, within the next 21 days. Pennfield does expect to operate normally until the sale is complete.

Governor says political reasons played no role in filing of lawsuit against NCAA

One of the things that was talked about the most when Governor Corbett announced his lawsuit against the NCAA Wednesday was why now?

When asked why now, Corbett listed two reasons. Neither of those was the change in the state's chief legal officer in less than two weeks.

“Not getting into politics, I'm doing this because it's the right thing to do,” Corbett explained.

Announcing the lawsuit against the NCAA Wednesday, Corbett said politics should be kept out of it.

Typically, the state’s attorney general would handle cases like this, not the Governor’s Office. However, the Associated Press is reporting that Attorney General Linda Kelly granted Governor Corbett the authority to file a federal antitrust lawsuit against the NCAA because her office is currently prosecuting three Penn State administrators.

Attorney General Linda Kelly told The Associated Press on Thursday that "an actual conflict of interest could, and likely would, arise if this office were involved in both cases."

Kelly says the "size and scope" of the criminal cases "made it untenable" for the state prosecutors' office to also be involved in the civil lawsuit.

Kelly says her office got the request from Corbett on December 14 and granted it a few days later. Corbett nominated Kelly to succeed him as attorney general two years ago, when Corbett became governor.

Former Attorney General Walter Cohen points out that delegation like this aren't unheard of.

“It's interesting, but not unprecedented and in fact when Ed Rendell was Governor, he sought in some major litigation delegation and in fact Attorney General Corbett gave it to him,” explained Cohen.

What makes this different is that the lawsuit was announced less than two weeks before Kathleen Kane takes over as Attorney General.

Corbett says the state constitution will prevent her from halting his involvement.

Kane ran on the campaign promise of investigating Corbett's handling and investigation of Sandusky while he was AG.

Whatever the motivation, Cohen says at the end of the day that’s not what is decided in a court room.

“Just because there are political reasons doesn't make it bad policy,” Cohen concluded.

Many are anxious to see how this case plays out in court.

The Pennsylvania Farm Show is about to open, and the theme this year is called "Opening the Doors". Opening the doors into the farming industry.

That's the purpose of the barn exhibits at the PA Farm Show. The display barn offers visitors a chance to see what the inside of the livestock barns look like on a farm.

More than 350 volunteers will be on hand to answer questions as to how the animals are raised and handled.

Christian Herr with PennAG says there is a lot of controversy over farming, this exhibit is setup to show people how it works. "There is lots of controversy in many aspects of the world, including agriculture.  This exhibit lets people see the production practices and lest them see the habitats and draw their own conclusions."

Conclusions that may have been formed from documentaries or preconceived ideas of how things are done. Here you are able to talk one on one with a person who works in the agriculture industry and ask as many questions as you want.

"There's reasons scientific reasons behind these practices. We need to be transparent and how their food is raised and why it is as affordable as it is," Herr said.

The Open Doors Shed exhibit will be open all week.

The new Chief of Recovery Officer for the Harrisburg School District, Gene G. Veno, releases statement.

"As the new Chief Recovery Officer for the Harrisburg School District, I pledge to work hand-in-hand with the Harrisburg community, including individuals and the many important groups, such as churches and civic organizations, the school board and superintendent, educators, administrative staff, building employees, students, unions and state officials. Our goal is to enable the Harrisburg schools to offer every student the best education possible, an education that every child, from kindergarten to 12th grade, deserves. My belief is that HSD can grow and foster excellent education. The development of a recovery plan for the HSD will be a collaborative and open process.

While the district is currently in “Moderate Financial Recovery,” we should look at this as an opportunity to improve the education of our students in ways that will create many new life changes and rewarding experiences to best prepare them for college and the workplace environment! We want them to succeed, to go on to college or trade school, and to secure good jobs. These students are the key to the future.

To that end, we will bring in a team of experts to study all aspects of the district, from academics and extracurricular programs to building functions and viability, labor contracts, technology, and security, along with revenue and expenses. The goal is to offer a sustainable road map for the Harrisburg School District to go forward to success.

As an educator, former school board member and businessman, I’ll bring my skills to bear on the issues facing the district and will look for solutions to an array of problems, including stubborn budget deficits, lackluster academic achievement and low graduation rates. An advisory committee will also offer insights and recommendations.

Under Act 141, I’ll develop the HSD recovery plan in 90 days from the date of my appointment as Chief Recovery Officer on Dec. 12, 2012. During that time I’ll hold public meetings and seek advice from all stakeholders. I’ll also ensure the district receives the full benefit of the process, including technical and financial assistance from the Commonwealth.. The school board will then have 30 days to decide whether to accept the plan.

I also pledge to be open, fair and honest with the school board, superintendent, parents, students, employees and the wider community. The answers may not be easy, but I’m certain if we work together in good faith, we can help our children succeed and the Harrisburg School District to thrive."

On Thursday, the 2013 PA Farm Show continued its annual tradition of revealing a 1,000 butter sculpture.

The sculpture is crafted in butter donated by the Land O'Lakes plant in Carlisle.

The sculpture is a representation of "PA Preferred- Made in PA. It Makes a Difference." It depicts several of the state's top commodities, including milk and dairy products, grapes and wine, Christmas Trees, fruits and vegetables.

Jim Victor of Conshohocken, Montgomery County, created the sculpture.  He started working on it in mid-December and finished just in time for the opening of the show. He also creates other sculptures using chocolate and cheese.

After the Farm Show, the sculpture will be given to a Juniata County Dairy farm to be put through a digester and converted to hours of electricity to help operate the farm.

Block in Harrisburg now dealing with a third sinkhole

In Harrisburg, the sinkhole saga of North Fourth Street continued Thursday. There are now three sinkholes.

A backhoe operator escaped injury Thursday afternoon when another part of the 2100 block of North Fourth Street opened up and the rig fell into sinkhole number three.

Crews have been working on the scene since Monday when the weight of a garbage truck opened up the sinkhole. Around eleven o’clock on New Year’s Eve, a larger hole developed about 100 feet north.

Thursday afternoon, as crews worked to restore water  service to 30 homes, the weight of a 33-ton excavator opened a third, larger sinkhole between the other two. All water service is expected to be restored next week.  Sewer will not be able to be fixed, the pipes are too old for repair. A new system won't be put in for at least a month.

The right side fell in the deepest. The uninjured operator worked with other crews and after a half hour of digging and adding fill to the hole, the driver was able to lift up the rig using its boom and once the tracks could grab hold, it was able to drive out of the sinkhole.

Tuesday, about 30 families were asked to leave their homes because damage had disrupted water, sewer and gas service to the neighborhood. Although UGI has completed repairs, the third sinkhole opened up as crews worked to restore water and sewer

City officials had said it would be several weeks until repairs are completed and residents can go home. One question we couldn’t get answered was how much longer it will take, now that there is a third sinkhole.

PA Gaming Control Board reports revenue up, but Hollywood Casino down

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported Thursday in a press release that gross revenue from slot machine gaming for the 2012 year was $2,470,935,317, or 2.7 percent higher than in 2011. 

PGCB Chairman William H. Ryan, Jr. says it was the sixth year in a row that Pennsylvania saw an increase in revenue from slot machine gaming, and that tax revenue generated from the play of slots during 2012 was more than $1.3 billion. The first slot machines began operating in the Commonwealth in November 2006.

“While competition for gaming dollars from bordering states will continue to escalate, the revenue results from legalized casino gaming in Pennsylvania continue to be strong,” Ryan says. “In addition, a healthy casino industry has resulted in the employment of more than 16,000 persons, stability in the Commonwealth’s horse racing industry, funds for major economic development and community-based projects, and property tax relief for all Pennsylvania homeowners.”

It is worth noting that three casinos saw their revenue drop in 2012.  One of those was Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course.

PASSHE, APSCUF resume contract negotiations Friday

Negotiations between the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) and the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) resume on Friday.
 
PASSHE Vice Chancellor for Human Resources and Labor Relations Gary Dent provided the following statement as the two sides prepare to meet:

        “With the onset of the new year we are poised to return to the bargaining table, with the goal of reaching a settlement with our final bargaining unit, APSCUF. I thought it was important to provide a brief update on where things stand and discuss our path forward. First and foremost, all of our stakeholders should know that PASSHE is committed to achieving a new collective bargaining agreement with APSCUF that is fair, that is affordable and that positions the System to continue to provide a quality education for years to come. 
        As we have in the agreements we have reached to date, our number one focus is protecting the interests of our students and their families who provide nearly three-fourths of the revenue needed to operate our universities. For PASSHE, that certainly means arriving at an economic package that permits us to remain competitive in our ability to recruit and retain talented faculty members; they are, after all, a critical element in PASSHE’s ability to provide a quality education. But we also need to find solutions to our ever-increasing costs in certain areas, which, if not addressed, will threaten the financial viability of our System. 
        Increases in healthcare costs for both active and retired employees, combined with rapidly rising pension costs, are placing unsustainable financial pressure on the universities. In this regard, PASSHE is no different from the federal or state governments, or most other organizations, all of which have identified increasing costs in these areas as urgent problems that must be addressed. We have no alternative. We must agree to new approaches before these costs overwhelm the System.
        PASSHE’s 14 universities are facing incredible and ever-increasing competition; business as usual is simply unacceptable. Throughout these negotiations with APSCUF, we have been open and transparent about the challenges we collectively face, particularly in an environment of declining state funding support and our families’ limited ability to absorb any tuition increases.
        We are just now recovering from the worst economic environment since 1937, and higher education has not been immune to these challenges. Given the impact of the recession on the Commonwealth’s budget, PASSHE leadership is preparing to once again aggressively pursue state funding in the upcoming budget debate.”

The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education is the largest provider of higher education in the Commonwealth, with about 115,000 students. The 14 PASSHE universities offer degree and certificate programs in more than 120 areas of study. Nearly 500,000 PASSHE alumni live and work in Pennsylvania.

The state-owned universities are Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester Universities of Pennsylvania. PASSHE also operates branch campuses in Clearfield, Freeport, Oil City and Punxsutawney and several regional centers, including the Dixon University Center.

Kenzie Ferguson, Director of Corporate Responsibility said, “When Sandy struck, TE employees around the world stepped up and asked how they can support the communities in need. In response, we opened a donation microsite where over 100 employees made contributions. Also, employees closer to the communities affected by the storm collected supplies and donated them directly to the shelters.”

“The American Red Cross is grateful for the support of the employees and management of TE Connectivity and their contributions will surely assist the great needs caused by Hurricane Sandy and other disasters,’ Said Jill Troutman, Regional Development Officer of the American Red Cross serving Central Pennsylvania. “The American Red Cross has responded with what is our biggest U.S. disaster response in more than five years, and we are incredibly grateful for the generous support of so many donors and volunteers as well as government and non-profit partners across the country, who enable us to help the survivors of this storm.”

Thanks to the public’s generous support, the American Red Cross has provided food, shelter, relief supplies and comfort to thousands of people impacted by Sandy. Our work includes:

- Serving more than 9.6 million meals and snacks.
- Handing out more than 6.7 million relief items, including cold weather items and clean-up supplies.
- Providing more than 106,000 health services and emotional support contacts for people who have been living in very tough conditions.
- Connecting with more than 106,000 families and individuals to determine recovery needs and provide access to resources
- Mobilizing more than 16,200 trained workers to help people affected by Sandy. About 90 percent of them are volunteers from all over the country.
- Overall, a range of groups provided more than 158,000 shelter stays for Sandy, and the Red Cross provided more than 81,000 of those stays.

More than 1,000 Red Cross workers are still on the ground supporting survivors through our relief work even as we begin our longer-term recovery efforts.

- The Red Cross is providing food, water, relief supplies, health services and emotional support in some areas. We continue to operate fixed feeding sites and provide mobile feeding. In addition, we are helping to provide an additional 60,000 meals a day through helping to fund community food banks in new York.
- Trained Red Cross workers are also helping to connect people to recovery resources and working with community groups to identify available support.
- The Red Cross is focused on how we can help support long-term recovery efforts as the need for emergency services declines.

State Police in Franklin County are searching for a bank robber who held up an M&T Bank in Guilford Township.  Schools near that area were on lockdown earlier Thursday, but that has since been lifted.

According to State Police, the robber came into the bank and put some type of bag on the counter and said it would explode if they didn't give up the money.  Officers later searched that bag, and did not find explosives.
