BOMPIANI Denies Senator's Parting Shots

Tony Bompiani, the Democratic candidate hoping to succeed state Sen. Bob Regola, said Tuesday that he never intended to inject the incumbent's legal or personal problems into the campaign.

At a news conference outside the Westmoreland County Courthouse in Greensburg, Bompiani made his first public comments since Regola, a first-term Republican from Hempfield, withdrew from the race Monday.

"Make no mistake about it, this campaign was never about Sen. Regola," said Bompiani, a Youngwood chiropractor. "This campaign is about, and will always be about, issues."

Mt. Pleasant hires Ruffner as football coach

Tribune-Review - The Mt. Pleasant school board voted Monday to hire Robert "Bo" Ruffner as football coach. He replaces Mark Lyons, who was not rehired after winning three consecutive Keystone Conference titles.

Ruffner, a teacher at Hempfield, was given a two-year contract that was unanimously approved by the board.

"Mt. Pleasant has a great tradition," said Ruffner. "They won two WPIAL titles in the 1980s and a number of conference titles. I'm looking forward to continuing that tradition and starting a new one in Class AA."

Let's Go Pens!

Bring the cup back to Pittsburgh!

Property Tax Relief??????

Here are the numbers regarding the estimated property tax relief for residents of Westmoreland County School Districts (Dollars per household per year) due to gaming revenue. This is obviously not enough and we need to do more to change the way we fund public education to make it better for our children and more affordable for our taxpayers. The state legislators will try to pass the responsibility to the school districts and blame property taxes on overspending. Sorry, but that is ridiculous. That's an easy "gotcha" political answer and accusation. To see some of my ideas regarding property tax reform, click here.
