HE JOINS US FROM MIDTOWN HARRISBURG WITH MORE ON HOW PEOPLE ARE ALREADY FEELING THE IMPACT OF HIGHER ELECTRIC PRICES THIS YEAR. TOM. JERRY AND LORI, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE REACHING FOR THAT AIR CONDITIONER RIGHT NOW, TURNING IT ON BECAUSE IT CERTAINLY FEELS A LITTLE BIT LIKE SUMMER, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. AND IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE TRYING TO COOL DOWN THAT WAY, IT WILL COST YOU ON YOUR ELECTRIC BILL. I SPOKE EARLIER TODAY WITH RYAN SEACREST OF HARRISBURG ABOUT HIS EXPERIENCE THUS FAR THIS YEAR. HE’S GOT ELECTRIC HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING, AND HE SAW HIS ELECTRIC BILL SPIKE OVER THE WINTER FOR HEAT. AND HE’S WORRIED NOW ABOUT WHAT IT’S GOING TO COST THIS SUMMER TO KEEP HIS WIFE, BABY AND CATS COOL, ESPECIALLY AFTER ALREADY SEEING HOW HOT IT CAN GET AFTER SOME UNSEASONABLE WEATHER. I HAVE A ONE YEAR OLD WHO YOU KNOW IS SWEATING AND CRYING LAST NIGHT, SO WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO HAVE THAT AIR CONDITIONING PUMPING WHEN IT’S WHEN IT’S THIS WARM. MANY LAWMAKERS AND BUSINESS LEADERS SAY INCREASED COST IS TIED TO ANTICIPATED ENERGY DEMAND, PARTICULARLY AS MORE DATA CENTER PROJECTS ARE LINED UP IN THE PIPELINE AND A LOT OF POWER PROVIDERS SIMPLY DON’T HAVE ENOUGH POWER, WHICH DRIVES UP THE COST. SO WHAT’S BEING DONE ABOUT IT? COMING UP AT FIVE, YOU’LL HEAR MORE ABOUT A COUPLE LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS. ONE TO TRY AND REIN IN THOSE COSTS, ESPECIALLY AS DATA CENTER PROJECTS CONTINUE TO EMERGE. THE OTHER ABOUT PROTECTING LOW TO LOW TO MIDDLE INCOME EARNERS FROM HAVING THEIR POWER TURNED OFF. IN HARRISBURG, TOM LEHMAN WGAL NEWS EIGHT. ALL RIGHT, TOM, THANK YOU.

THEY SAY MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN DETAINED BY ICE, DESPITE TAKING THE RIGHT PATHWAYS TO CITIZENSHIP. I’M ALL FOR IF THEY’RE DANGEROUS CRIMINALS OR TERRORISTS, GETTING THEM OUT OF THE COUNTRY, BUT FOR PEACEFUL, LAW ABIDING PEOPLE HERE, LIKE IN MY FAMILY, LIKE IN THEIR FAMILIES, LET’S FIND A PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP. LET’S FAST TRACK THAT PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP AND ALLOW THEM TO COME FROM OUT THE SHADOWS AND JOIN WHAT THEY ALREADY ARE DOING, PAYING TAXES, SUPPORTING OUR ECONOMY, STARTING BUSINESSES. THE AMERICA THAT WELCOMED THE SEVEN YEAR OLD BOY IN 2008, THE AMERICA THAT BELIEVED IN FAIRNESS AND DUE PROCESS. THAT IS THE AMERICA WE’RE ASKING TO SEE ONCE AGAIN. MEMBERS. ON DAUPHIN COUNTY COMMISSIONER JUSTIN DOUGLAS, WHO ATTENDED TODAY’S EVENT, ALSO MENTIONED POLICY HE’S WORKING ON. THAT WOULD CHANGE HOW DAUPHIN COUNTY PRISON RELEASES INMATES INTO ICE CUSTODY. UNDER HIS PLAN FOR THAT TO HAPPEN, A JUDICIAL WARRANT NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED. THE IDEA IS SET TO BE DISCUSSED AND POTENTIALLY VOTED ON AT THE PRISON BOARD MEETING, WHICH IS NEXT WEEK, RIGHT NOW. BERKS COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES TAKING AIM AT THE PENNSYLVANIA GAME COMMISSION, CALLING FOR A GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION AFTER ALLEGATIONS OF MALPRACTICE AND HARASSMENT OF EMPLOYEES AT THE STATE AGENCY.

REPRESENTATIVE DAVID MALONEY OF THE 130TH DISTRICT, CALLS THE WORKPLACE HERE AT THE STATE GAME COMMISSION TOXIC AND CALLS FOR A COMMISSIONERS HERE ARE APPOINTED. NOW, THE REPRESENTATIVE DETAILED AN EXAMPLE IN HIS PRESS RELEASE OF THE TOXIC BEHAVIOR, AN INCIDENT FROM 2020 BEFORE WHEN TWO GAME COMMISSION EMPLOYEES WORE THEIR UNIFORMS AND DROVE A CAR TO A NON GC TRAINING EVENT, WHICH WAS NOT ALLOWED. AFTER MAKING COMMENTS CRITICAL OF THE COMMISSION’S LEADERSHIP IN A PUBLIC MEETING. THE EMPLOYEES SAY THEY WERE REPRIMANDED BY LEADERSHIP DUE TO THE COMMENTS THEY MADE AND FOR MISUSING PGC EQUIPMENT. AN ARBITRATOR FOR THE INCIDENT FOUND THE REPRIMANDS TO BE, QUOTE, RETALIATORY IN NATURE. THE REPRESENTATIVE ALSO SAID HOW TARGETED BY LEADERSHIP WITH HARASSMENT AND VERBAL ABUSE, CALLING FOR THE TREATMENT TO STOP AND BE INVESTIGATED BY GRAND JURY. WE’LL PROBABLY SEE A FRACTURE IN.

THE PGC SAID SOME OF THE ALLEGATIONS PREDATE CURRENT COMMISSION LEADERSHIP, ADDING THEY HAVE REVIEWED THOSE AND, QUOTE, WE KNOW OF NO EVIDENCE OF ANY INCIDENTS THAT WOULD WARRANT A GRAND JURY. WE DID REACH OUT TO THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE SINCE HE IS THE ONE WHO DOES APPOINT COMMISSIONERS FOR THE PGC AND HOW THE MISTREATMENT IS INVESTIGATED. WE’LL HAVE HIS RESPONSE COMING UP AT 5:00. WE ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE. SINCE THEY WILL ORGANIZE A GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY CONTACT THAT THEY’VE RECEIVED FROM DAVE MALONEY’S OFFICE ABOUT THIS GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION REQUEST. HE HAS NOT RESPONDED T
