This was certainly upsetting news since it came on the heels of Fast Eddie Rendell announcing a three year increase in the Commonwealth's income tax. I'm glad I voted for Lynn Swann in the last gubernatorial election.

Tobyhanna and Gouldsboro were two state parks that my family would go to nearly every Sunday in the Summer after mass. A swim in the lake and a picnic with an ice cream stop on the way home. I don't get to too many state parks, but I know there is a huge recreational demand for them.
