    The little governor guy has a Napoleon complex that makes him think because he's a skinny little guy with a gay beard he needs to show how much power he has. The SoE is just another one of his scams.

    The intent of an SOE is so that the state can bypass the normal acquisition process and buy the items needed to resolve the emergency quickly. Since the Opiod SOE has been lasting for 3 years, it's quite obvious at this point, there is no longer a need for the SOE as they should have had more than enough time to acquire the needed products through the normal process. If they are not going through the normal acquisition process, then our balless legislature should be investigating as to why.

    We already know why. He bought narcan from one of his major donors with a proprietary application device (atomizer) instead of a generic atomizer.

    All it takes now is our eunuch legislature to open an investigation.

    One time my buddies and I were hanging out in front of my house not bothering anybody. We were in HS at the time.

    A cop pulled up and said to get off the street or he was going to jung all of us.

    We laughed in his face and he drove away. It was pretty funny.

    That seems as likely as Elon Musk personally inviting everyone on the PAFOA forum over for drinks.

    TODAY, the PA Senate is discussing and hopefully voting on SB1166.


    In simple terms as I'm understanding it, this is a Constitutional Amendment that lets the Governor declare ONE State of Emergency that lasts 30 days. The Governor may NOT renew it unless the legislature votes on an renewal.

    SB1166

    That is a great start, though I might suggest that there should be limits on extensions/re-declarations even with the approval of the General Assembly.

    Meaning, as it is worded now, a rubber-stamp General Assembly could put the state in the same position it is in now. And such assemblies do indeed exist from time to time (or, as is the case in PRNY, permanently).
