charged with fleeing or at- tempting to elude police if an officer is injured or killed while trying to apprehend the suspect. House Bill 1857, intro- duced by Rep. Frank Burns, D-Cambria County, would raise the grading of flee- ing or attempting to elude police from a second-de- gree misdemeanor to a third-degree felony. The bill would also make the crime a first-degree fel- ony if an officer is injured or killed while pursuing the suspect. a member of the Blue Lives Matter Cau- cus, I believe we need to do all we can to protect those who serve and pro- tect Burns wrote in a co-sponsorship letter.

Wilding was pursuing three teenagers accused of committing an armed rob- bery when he jumped over an ivy covered wall and died as a result of the fall, according to WNEP. sec- ond-degree murder statute and second-degree murder of a law enforcement offi- cer already cover instances where a law enforcement officer is killed while pur- suing a robbery suspect. All three of the sus- pects in case were charged with sec- ond-degree murder and second-degree murder of a law enforcement officer, according to court records. Second-degree murder in Pennsylvania is what is commonly referred to as felony murder rule.

This means, broadly speaking, a person can be charged with murder if a death occurs while committing certain crimes like robbery or while fleeing after committing those crimes regardless of whether the suspect in- tended to kill someone. bill would not expand the second-de- gree murder statute but would increase penalties for deaths or injuries of law enforcement officers that occur while a suspect is fleeing regardless of what the original crime was. The bill also expands the current resisting arrest statute to include fleeing on foot.

Like most municipalities in Cumberland County, South Middleton Town- ship passed a resolution in December 2017 to opt out of allowing a casino to be built within its borders.

The gaming law allows munici- palities to opt back in at any time. Greenwood officials would need township offi- cials to opt back in by re- scinding their previous res- olution before it could start work on a mini-casino. Adams said the town- ship would get the word out to residents as soon as Greenwood is placed on its agenda, which is usually set on the Tuesday imme- diately before the board of meetings on the second and fourth Thursdays of the month July 12 and July 26 for this month. want a lot of ad- vance warning so the pub- lic knows they are Adams said. Greenwood representa- tives have been laying the groundwork for the formal request by holding meet- ings with officials from the township, South Middleton School District and Cum- berland Area Economic Development Corp.

The first meeting was in late May, and Adams said Greenwood representatives initiated another meeting last week to determine the level of interest to at least discuss rescind- ing the resolution. said open to having a dialogue with all individuals interested in doing business in the town- Adams said. There are a lot of about Green- plans for a casino in South Middleton Township, Adams said. Among those unknowns is the exact location of the casino and the potential effect the casino could have on the township. In a presentation to Car- lisle Borough Council in May, Anthony Ricci, CEO of Greenwood Gaming, the parent company of Parx Casino, said a Category 4 casino could bring in 250 full-time, permanent jobs to the area that pay above minimum wage and would inject some $50 million into the community.

Ricci also told the council that the casino is projected to bring in $50-55 million in revenue, of which the bor- ough and the county each would receive 2 percent, or about $1 million each. A week after pre- sentation, Carlisle Mayor Tim Scott opened a meeting of the borough council with a statement that the council was not in favor of moving forward with any casino. Some members of the council and the commu- nity expressed concerns that, with refusal, the casino may wind up on its border. That, they said, could bring the challenges of a casino without the cor- responding revenue to meet those challenges. Recent developments in South Middleton Town- ship, however, have not prompted the council to reconsider its decision.

Samantha Dravis, who recently resigned as policy chief, told investi- gators last week that Pruitt had made clear to her before and after he became EPA administrator that he would like the attorney job, held then and now by Jeff Sessions. Pruitt hinted at that (sic) some sort of conver- sation had taken place be- tween he and the Dravis told congressional investigators, according to a transcript obtained Thurs- day by the AP. was the position he was originally interested A former Oklahoma at- torney general close to the oil and gas industry, Pruitt had filed more than a dozen lawsuits against the agency he was picked to lead.

Ar- riving in Washington, he worked relentlessly to dis- mantle Obama-era envi- ronmental regulations that aimed to reduce toxic pol- lution and planet-warming carbon emissions. During his one-year tenure, Pruitt crisscrossed the country at taxpayer ex- pense to speak with indus- try groups and hobnob with GOP donors, but he showed little interest in listening to advocates he derided as environmental Those groups quickly ap- plauded his departure. his brief ten- ure, Pruitt was the worst EPA chief in said Kieran Suckling, executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity. corruption was his down- fall, but his pro-polluter policies will have our kids breathing dirtier air long after his many scandals are Like Trump, Pruitt voiced skepticism about main- stream climate science and was a critic of the Paris climate agreement. The president cheered his EPA moves to boost fos- sil fuel production and roll back regulations opposed by corporate interests.

But despite boasts of slashing red tape and pro- moting job creation, Pruitt had a mixed record of pro- ducing real-world results. Many of the EPA regulations Pruitt scrapped or delayed had not yet taken effect, and the tens of thousands of lost coal mining jobs the presi- dent pledged to bring back never materialized. Pruitt was forced out following a series of rev- elations involving pricey trips with first-class airline seats and unusual secu- rity spending, including a $43,000 soundproof booth for making private phone calls. He also demanded 24-hour-a-day protection from armed officers, result- ing in a swollen 20-mem- ber security detail that blew through overtime budgets and racked up expenses of more than $3 million. Pruitt routinely ordered his EPA staff to do personal chores for him, including picking up his dry cleaning and trying to obtain a used Trump hotel mattress for his apartment.

He had also enlisted his staff to contact conservative groups and companies to find a lucra- tive job for his unemployed wife, including emails seek- ing a Chick-fil-A franchise from a senior executive at the fast-food chain. job had been in jeopardy since the end of March, when ABC News first reported that he leased a Capitol Hill condo last year for just $50 a night. It was co-owned by the wife of a veteran fossil fuels lob- byist whose firm had sought regulatory rollbacks from EPA. Both Pruitt and the lob- byist, Steven Hart, denied he had conducted any re- cent business with EPA. But Hart was later forced to admit he had met with Pruitt at EPA headquarters last summer after his firm, Williams Jensen, revealed he had lobbied the agency on a required federal dis- closure form.

Pruitt also publicly de- nied any knowledge of massive raises awarded to two close aides he had brought with him to EPA from Oklahoma. Docu- ments later showed chief of staff had signed off on the pay hikes, indicating he had the consent. Pruitt From A1 HB1857 Sponsor: rep. Frank Burns, d-Cambria County Local co-sponsors: rep.
