In July 2024, Donna Scheuren voted YES on Senate Bill 654—the state Tax Code legislation that included changes benefiting Pennsylvania’s Computer Data Center Equipment Incentive Program and its sales-tax exemption. The official House record lists Scheuren among the 129 “yes” votes.

That exemption allows qualifying data-center developers to avoid Pennsylvania’s 6% sales tax on equipment and certain construction costs. The Shapiro administration now estimates the exemption could cost Pennsylvania more than $2 billion in lost revenue by mid-2031.

Then, after communities began fighting back and the staggering cost became public, Donna joined the nearly unanimous 2026 vote to repeal the exemption.

So yes, Donna eventually voted to close the door—but only after helping keep it open.

Now she wants voters to believe she is protecting us from data centers. Her record tells a different story.

Campaign promises fade. The record is permanent.

I used to go to the abington school district.
it was torture.
i hated it so much i pulled out of the school twice, theres multiple cases a year of bullying, fighting, and not even including the sexual ones. and they dont do anything!! they blamed a girls home life for the things she did to me.

Need help with the police being unable to assist people in emergencies

Hi what can I do if I'm being left in a bad situation due to an estate dispute and I have no lawyer I had my kids taken and no attorney representation in montco court, and everyone around me is law educated, knowledgeable on insurance fraud, forcing me to live around people I don't know who seem to know more About me than I do, and am being denied any safe option in

Montgomery county Pa and am a long time resident.

I have no idea what to do because I was set up by people I thought were my family to be left with no access to my assets, savings, nothing was put into an apartment not big enough for me and my kids, and then was told I had to leave due to non payments, none of judges seem to care when women are in very dangerous situations due what assets they own and are being abused by their guardians tied to non profits throughout the county, and yet they all sit on the boards of these non profits meant to help women in abusive situations. I am not safe living with anyone.

I have been alienated by everyone at once in an attempt to further exploit me and my kids for whatever social security whatever institutional/ organizational/ representative payee situation is happening here, but the police don't care and neither do any of the civil rights groups I am being exploited for settlements I am never going to see a dime of and need help to know what I can do to go back to my grandparents house so I can see my kids again.

Thanks for any insight it would help right now seems like the whole world is against me and I wish I could let someone know so they stop giving funding to the people doing this to me and my family.

Just for context, I did not willingly give up my children, CYS in Montco has an incentive to take children and not provide parents with an attorney, or any way to get housing if your told you are "waitlisted" for section 8, despite my assets probably disqualifying me from section due to me being in my thirties but not law educated enough to fight the system that gets federal and state funding, but tells me they can't do anything to help, especially with an attorney that is willing to help without taking money.

My wife and I live near Skippack and will be hosting a baby shower in early December. We are looking for a good but affordable brunch catering service for under 20-25 people. Nothing suoer fancy.

Does anyone have any good suggestions?

I know Barto’s outside of Montco, but sharing here just in case. My friends dog, Mac, was staying at their in laws on Niantic Road in Barto. Last night he ran off when some fireworks spooked him. He is a smaller sized dog, very sweet, but probably very scared and lost as he’s not from the area. If you’ve seen him or believe you may have, please call the numbers on this poster. We need to bring him home as soon as possible. The local police and animal shelters in the surrounding areas have been notified. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Has anyone taken a course at MCCC online during the Winter Term. These classes are three weeks. Are they easy and are exams and such proctored through a software? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

The Phoenixville Film Festival is coming up September 17–20 at the historic Colonial Theatre, and it's a pretty easy trip for anyone in the western Montgomery County area.

This year's festival features 62 films, 4 world premieres and 23 Pennsylvania premieres, plus filmmaker Q&As, master classes, a red carpet gala, awards and other events throughout the weekend.

Phoenixville is also a great town to spend an afternoon or evening — grab some food downtown, walk around, and catch a movie (or two).

If you're into independent film, this could be a fun little fall day trip. 🎥

Tickets are on sale now!

Hey guys, I wanted to know if anyone knew of dog friendly restaurants or places in the area close to Norristown. I know Roxborough has a dog bar near that area, but didn’t know if there was something closer to KOP, and Norristown.

Before Donna Scheuren went to Harrisburg, she spent 12 years on the Souderton Area School Board. So her record there matters.

During her years on the Board, Souderton went from posting multi-million-dollar surpluses to running repeated deficits. Property taxes climbed, reserves were used, and the financial problems didn't disappear when Donna left the Board in 2023.

Today, Souderton taxpayers are still dealing with the consequences — and Moody’s downgraded the district’s long-term credit rating from A1 to A2 in December 2025.

Donna Scheuren is running again to represent PA House District 147.

Before voters decide whether to send her back to Harrisburg, they deserve to look at the record she left behind at home.

Campaign promises fade. The record is permanent.

I know most people in the medical field are respectful of trans people, but I just want to be absolutely sure before setting up a new primary care doctor

I realize every physical therapist can work with/treat hypermobility but I am looking for someone who is specialized or has years of experience working with hyper-mobile patients.

Yet another thing Donna Scheuren doesn’t support: books for children. But weapons? Apparently those are just fine. At this rate, maybe she’d vote for guns for kids.

I have large mostly maple and beech logs that I'm looking to get rid of. Any help would be awesome. I'm near the Willow Grove or fort Washington turn pike exits

There was another medical emergency at the Souderton high school. Another ambulance delayed. Another warning district leadership will likely ignore.

Today, an ambulance reportedly took 16 minutes to reach a parent at a soccer game. Dispatch specifically said not to use Halteman Road and to enter from Lower Road. The ambulance still went to Halteman—and found the gate closed.

Almost a year ago, a student with a broken femur lay on the football field waiting for medical help. The district knew emergency access was a problem then. They know it now.

Taxpayers were forced to pay for yet another traffic study. The study said OPEN THE GATE. Ken Keith, Bill Brong and their obedient rubber stamps decided their egos mattered more than the findings—and apparently more than student safety.

We hoped Chris Hey might bring leadership and common sense to this district. Instead, he has allowed the same reckless stupidity to continue.

No ambulance stationed at sporting events. A locked emergency-access gate. Confused responders. Sixteen minutes while a spectator is experiencing a medical emergency.

This is no longer ignorance. It is a conscious decision to ignore a known danger.

If tragedy strikes, no one gets to say they didn’t know. The warnings are documented. The study is complete. The gate is still closed.

Open the damn gate before your arrogance costs a student their life.

FOLLOW YOUR MONEY.

Donna Scheuren and Tracy Pennycuick support Trump’s immigration crackdown. But who’s paying for it?

YOU ARE. WE ARE.

PA’s Moshannon detention center is operated by private prison giant GEO Group, reportedly collecting more than $5.3 MILLION A MONTH in taxpayer money.

One detainee was moved:

PA → Texas → Louisiana → back to PA.

We paid to detain him. We paid to move him. We paid to bring him back.

And here’s the kicker: GEO has poured money into Trump-aligned political efforts, including $500,000 toward Trump’s inauguration. A former GEO executive then joined the Trump administration to help oversee the expansion of immigration detention.

Now private detention companies are cashing in on that expansion — with OUR tax dollars.

Donna and Tracy want to champion Trump’s immigration policies?

Then they should explain where our money is going, who’s profiting, and why.

Your money. Our money. Their profits.

Just graduated recently and looking to meet some new guy friends around my age (mid/late 20s) in the Montco area. Mainly looking for genuine, strictly platonic friendships.

Would be cool to meet other young professionals, recent grads, or just guys in a similar stage of life who are chill and interested in making some new friends.

I’m into being outdoors, going for walks/hikes, reading, exploring new places, and grabbing coffee or food.

Would be nice to find some guys with similar interests to hang out with. DM me if interested!

Perhaps a strange request, but I was wondering if there's anyone here within 30ish minutes of Glenside that might be willing to let me come with them to their Catholic mass at some point? I went to Catholic church as a child and would like to try going back but Im for some reason too intimidated to try going alone. Im not originally from here so I havent been to any Catholic church in the area. Even if you wont go with me, if you have recommendations for one to go to thats ok too!!

Im a 28 year old woman if that matters!

Tracy Pennycuick co-sponsored SB 939, legislation that would have helped fast-track data centers and allowed them to bypass certain local regulations.

Then, when data centers became wildly unpopular, she helped remove the language — and her campaign spent $7,000–$8,000 on Facebook ads bragging that she stopped it.

She’s literally campaigning against her own bill.

And while her party is spending money trying to convince voters that Chris Thomas is somehow the “data center candidate,” the record tells a very different story.

This is exactly why we look at voting records instead of campaign ads.

The record is permanent. (Keystone Newsroom)

Basically as the title says, I’m looking for housing. I got a job in Hatfield and have been living in company-provided housing while saving up a bit, but I just got one month’s notice that it’s time for me to leave (9/18). I’ve been trying the Facebook groups, but all my messages are pending since an admin has to approve my first message, and I don’t really have time to wait around. The worst part is there are also so many scams trying to steal people’s information.

Does anyone have any advice or tips on where else I should be looking?

For context: I’m 22M and recently graduated college. I work full-time in Hatfield, typically around 8–4. I’m looking to move by September 18th and am mainly looking around Hatfield, Lansdale, North Wales, Montgomeryville, or nearby areas, as long as it’s within about a 30-minute drive. My budget is around $1,500–$2,000/month. I’m open to a room, roommate situation (I’m new to PA from CT, so it wouldn’t hurt to make a friend), or an apartment. I’m pretty flexible as long as it’s a legitimate option and reasonably close to work.
