Right! If the FBI did find the gold, where is it now? Or did some rogue FBI agents retire to Cabo with the money?

Whipple Dam State park in centre county is pretty nice. I went there a lot when I was at Penn State, it’s pretty close

This story is so sick. Secret Civil War gold stashed in an unassuming PA wilderness, a pair of amateur treasure hunters find something and then the FBI comes in and excavates, and finds "nothing" despite their own experts saying there was a big mass of metal down there.
I hope we find the truth about this. It would make an awesome book or movie.

The FBI, which went to Dents Run after sophisticated testing suggested tons of gold might be buried there, has long insisted the dig came up empty.

>Parada and his advisers, who have spent countless hours poring over the newly released government records, believe otherwise. They accuse the FBI of distorting key evidence and improperly withholding records in an apparent effort to conceal the recovery of a historic, extremely valuable gold cache. The FBI defends its handling of the materials.

Eminent domain is costly and people fight it in court all the time. Also, do we really want the precedent of the state seizing the property of a private individual and selling it to another because the state doesn’t like how you’re using it?
I think vacancy taxes are a better solution, for housing and retail.

I sympathize with this, but when that vacant property belongs to a different developer there isn’t really a means to prevent someone else from doing it without artificially favoring existing landholders

That’s great! There’s a lot of good, white collar, union state jobs that are accessible now.
This will help fill jobs too, improving services and making people’s lives better in the bargain.
PA should look at reforming occupational licensure, too. 1250 hours to be a hairdresser…

Reply to comment by Hanniballecter6 in Hunter won’t face charges for killing dog in Berks County by narkj
The CIA, FBI, and LAPD have a contest to see who’s the best. The president releases a rabbit into the woods and asks them each to catch it.
The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.
The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming.
The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is screaming: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"

If I can’t call in a predator strike on a Sunday, the whole season might as well be canceled

Anecdotally, we alternate Thanksgiving between my family and my wife’s, so when we travel I can’t get out on Saturday anyway.
Lots of people travel for Thanksgiving, so having two extra days that aren’t connected to a major holiday works for them.

Yeah, I think this bill accomplishes the same goal- extra weekend days for people who can’t take off work- while respecting tradition. Plus, our schools get the first Monday off and I’d hate to lose that

Rep Brian Smith’s proposal to move the start day back to Monday carries with it the addition of a second Sunday to create a 14-day continuous rifle deer season starting on Monday.
The season length remains the same — 14 days — as does the number of weekend days under Smith’s proposal.
