Again, you're leaving out the word city in front of workers. You're obviously not aware that it doesn't affect all menial jobs/workers. Big difference.

I'm aware that it's only city workers. That makes your opinion even more ridiculous, because it doesn't affect you and your opinion on it means nothing.

Sure it does. What's good for city workers should be good for everyone. No reason to play favorites with taxpayers $$$.

Exactly, which is why I'm glad PennDOT isn't going to waste my money on a very expensive HOV lane to a place where an insignificant population lives.

I certainly wouldn't discount it happening out to here, however.

< 30,000 is not a significant population.

As with everything, time will tell. I like what they're doing out here and expect more to happen. The new construction going on is pretty significant.

So the opponents of the mandatory minimum have been able to interject their miserly opinions about the issue into yet another unrelated thread. Way to go!

The topic of a huge transportation project in Cranberry was brought up. While most that comment on every Cranberry post or thread are not from here, I see no problem with it.

Cranberry is a county away; maybe posts regarding Cranberry should be in the general Pennsylvania forum? It's a sparsely-populated, rural area that has more in common with New Castle than with Pittsburgh.
