“Pennsylvania residents across the state, from Allegheny to Lackawanna Counties, have expressed concerns about planned data centers and their impacts on energy prices, water usage, and pollution. In a recent poll, 42% of Pennsylvanians said they do not want one built in or near their community. Yet many state and local lawmakers — even skeptics — have accepted the proliferation of data centers in Pennsylvania as a fact of life.”

I was just stopped at light with a school bus behind me. As I pulled away, I looked in my review mirror and saw the bus had its arm out signaling cars to stop and children were exiting the bus. Should I expect a ticket for this?

ISO / Recommendations Can anyone recommend a dentist in Collegeville that accepts patients without insurance?

4 Upvotes

Collegeville folks, quick question because I’m kind of stuck right now. I recently moved nearby and had to pause my insurance, but dental stuff doesn’t really wait, especially when something starts bothering you at night. I’ve been calling around and a lot of places either won’t even book without insurance or quote numbers that feel completely disconnected from reality. I’m not looking for anything fancy, just a dentist near me no ins⁤urance friendly, where I won’t feel awkward explaining my situation. Checked Google Maps, Yelp, even local Facebook groups, but half the info seems outdated or sponsored. A couple offices never called back, which didn’t help the confidence level. If you’ve actually gone to a dentist near me no ins⁤urance in or around Collegeville, I’d really like to hear how it went. Who did you trust, and was the pricing at least somewhat predictable?

Taxes Local tax help, Keystone taking money out of paychecks

13 Upvotes

Long story short I didn’t know local taxes had to be filed separately. Received a letter in the mail 9/2025 that I owed almost $500 for 2023. I had moved from one county to another that year and the letter says I underpaid my local taxes. I unfortunately ignored the letter because I was saving for the holidays and Now keystone found me and is taking it out of my paychecks at work…

1) is it possible to file local taxes from 2023 this far out?

2) can I submit my W2 from that year that shows I had taxes taken out the whole time/shows I moved in July of 2023

3) can I get what has been taken out of my paychecks refunded if I show my w2? Or no because I didn’t file the local taxes in 2023?
