概要

 Pennsylvania braces for the impacts of a powerful winter storm that struck over the weekend, prompting Governor Josh Shapiro to sign a Proclamation of Disaster Emergency across the Commonwealth, according to the Governor's office. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker declared a Snow Emergency effective Saturday night, suspending trash collections on Monday, January 26, and closing courts and prisons to in-person activities, as reported by phila.gov. Northeast Pennsylvania saw up to 20 inches of snow in spots like Hawley and Rowland, with extreme cold lingering into the week, per the National Weather Service via WVIA.

In politics, the state legislature's 2025-2026 session continues with active bills on topics from controlled substances and psychologist prescribing to lactation rooms in public buildings, tracked by LegiScan. House Speaker Joanna McClinton highlighted $80 million in funding for the William Penn School District, including infrastructure upgrades like a new roof at Penn Wood Middle School and solar panels, as noted in PA House releases. The PA Municipal League named new priorities for 2026 focusing on finance, infrastructure, and public safety, per pml.org.

Economically, Governor Shapiro announced a $3.3 million investment in skilled trades training through Junior Achievement of Western Pennsylvania to bolster manufacturing jobs, stated in his office's press release. The state opened $440 million in PA SITES and Green Light-Go programs for site development and traffic signals, with applications ongoing, according to GovMarketNews. Additional grants support community projects like the Easton Highline trail and maternal health centers, via DCED and LVB.

Education faces ongoing challenges, with William Penn Superintendent lamenting aging facilities causing disruptions like early dismissals at Penn Wood High School, as covered by the Altoona Mirror.

Looking Ahead: Watch for Green Light-Go grant deadlines in March, the May 19 primary election reshaping the legislature, and budget battles as the session ends November 30, per Schneider Downs and CO Public Strategies.
