La mayoría de los estudiantes universitarios esperan con impaciencia las vacaciones de verano y un respiro de las aulas, pero pocos tienen recursos para tomarse el "verano libre" de uno de sus retos más difíciles: pagar sus estudios.
Una educación postsecundaria puede ser cara, pero es una inversión que merece la pena. Tanto si un estudiante asiste al Community College del condado de Allegheny, aprende un oficio o recibe un título de cuatro años de la Universidad de Pittsburgh, la educación es la clave para un futuro mejor.

I write today with a heavy heart. Far too many times, we have all watched in horror as mass shootings play out across our nation. That nightmare has now come to pass in our own Pennsylvania backyard.
To our friends and neighbors in Squirrel Hill, we admire your spirit, strength and unity. To members of the Tree of Life Synagogue, we offer our heartfelt sympathy and support as you recover from this harrowing tragedy.
To members of the Jewish faith everywhere, we stand with you in solidarity. To our law enforcement and emergency responders, we salute you and thank you for your heroism.

Artículo de opinión del senador Wayne Fontana
I was raised Catholic and spent all 12 years of schooling in Catholic schools. As an adult, I was married in the Catholic Church, raised my children in the faith and sent them to Catholic school. I still firmly believe in God, but my trust and respect for the Catholic institution has been shattered.
Now that the church hierarchy has finally admitted that hundreds of priests sexually abused so many children for so many years and that church leaders took part in an elaborate coverup scheme, the church’s continued resistance to changing the law to protect victims is clearly all about the money.
