"Hey, that's not fair and we're going to sue."
Mount Airy and three other casinos who paid $50 million for slots licenses said the legislature is considering changing the rules to allow more machines at neighboring resorts. If that happens, the four casinos said they'll sue to get their money back. We have their letter.
The Census is coming. The Census is coming. Why should we care? It means big bucks for the Poconos. Monroe has had the second-highest growth rate among Pennsylvania counties this decade, but state and federal aid has been based on the 2000 or 1990 head counts. Yes, we're talking millions here.
The Census also means temporary jobs for a lot of people. Here's how to apply.
Today marks the 100th day without a state budget, but legislators are making some progress. Smokers will need to pay another 25-cent tax on cigarettes.

In a late game, the Dodgers beat the Cards. The Yanks and the Phils also won the openers yesterday. We have a treat for Phillies fans who need to work instead of watching the game this afternoon. We're updating it here online so you can be "in the know" and still get your work done.
