 Pennsylvania's state legislature kicked off the 2026 session amid low productivity concerns, as a new study ranks it among the nation's least efficient, with lawmakers passing just four percent of nearly 2,800 bills introduced last year, according to PennLive. State Senator Lisa Boscola introduced six bills for consumer protections against energy-intensive data centers, while Republican Representative Sheryl Delozier announced she will not seek reelection after nine terms, opening her Cumberland County district and boosting Democratic hopes to expand their slim House majority. Senator Doug Mastriano also opted out of the 2026 gubernatorial race, criticizing the political climate.

In business and economy news, Pennsylvania boasts the third-highest five-year business survival rate at 56 percent, surpassing the national average, per federal data cited by MyChesco. Governor Josh Shapiro's administration approved nearly four million dollars in Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority loans for projects in Blair and Westmoreland counties, creating jobs and spurring over nine million dollars in investment. Johnson and Johnson plans a new cell therapy facility, adding hundreds of advanced manufacturing jobs.

Community efforts shine with over two million dollars in state grants for the 151st District, funding fire suppression in Ambler, water improvements, and trails, as announced by Representative Melissa Cerrato. Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O'Connor launched the Main and Main initiative to revitalize business districts like Homewood Avenue with loans, facade upgrades, and zoning reforms. Education sees boosts, including 600 thousand dollars in PA Farm Bill grants for agriculture programs and Harrisburg School District's upcoming vote on a new soccer field and roof upgrades.

No major recent weather events reported.

Looking Ahead, watch for the annual rare whiskey lottery opening soon, special House elections on February 24 and March 17, and grant deadlines like PennDOT's multimodal funding by March 13 and school safety applications by January 28. The 2026 gubernatorial race and legislative battles loom large.
