It's twins! Did you hear that @CalvingCorner welcomed twins, Kit & Kat the other day? The chances of this happening are about 0.5% (or approx. 1 in 220) so @abc27News @EricaABC27 was doubly excited to meet them both. Welcome to the world, ladies!

Thank you @GovernorTomWolf for signing House Bill 1918 -- sponsored by @repkristin , which will modernize state law to help prevent and punish the use of fraudulent credit card "skimming" devices. This new law will protect PA consumers and businesses. #HB1918 🖊️

High #GasPrices have several states enacting or considering gas tax relief. Good news, right? @NACSonline breaks down the pros and cons of #GasTaxRelief , how it impacts #Cstores and what it means for #consumers . ⛽️
