Craft brewers help harvest hops crop of Cumberland County farmer diagnosed with cancer FOX43 News 2023-08-22 | Michael and Sharon Reifsnyder of Carlisle started GEMS Farm in 2017, planting about 3.5 acres with five different varieties of hops. The Reifsnyders were preparing to hang support lines for this year’s hops vines in January when they got some unexpected news: Michael had prostate cancer.

Rather than let the hops go to waste, the Reifsnyders published a post online inviting local farmers and craft brewers to harvest them together.

Pa. lawmakers push set of bills that would allow firms to manage municipalities FOX43 News 2023-08-22 | Pennsylvania lawmakers are pushing a package of bills that would allow local governments to hire professional firms as their managers. The set of three bills introduced to the state legislature would allow Pennsylvania boroughs, second-class townships and third-class cities to hire a professional firm to manage their municipalities, something that has been in place for first-class townships since 2020. Under the current law, these municipalities can only hire an individual in the managerial role, a rule the sponsors of these bills say, is especially challenging for smaller communities. "For smaller communities, it becomes rather difficult to hire someone in the role of either administrator or manager," said State Rep. Robert Freeman (D-Northampton County), one of the bill's prime sponsors. "Often times salaries that are requested can be tough for a smaller community with a limited tax base." With a goal to expand this new rule statewide, lawmakers say it’s all about giving the more than 2500 Pa. municipalities across the Commonwealth another option to fill this growing managerial need.
