@chrisbriem It's hard to remember every little news cycle event but there were some catasgrophic news articles out after that steep brop in births happened the 1st pandemic year, so I thought it was important to point out that the data in that second year actually showed the opposite.

Part II: Pennsylvania legislators, business people, therapists, professors and regultators are trying a variety of approaches to address PA's growing gambling addiciton crisis. Will any of these efforts turn the tide? Or at least hint at a way forward? pennlive.com/news/2026/06/s…

The story is about one of the 100,000s of families in Pennsylvania now being torn apart by an addiction that has exploded because of changes in Pennsylvania laws that made millions of people vulnerable to an old addiction made newly powerful. / 2

And then, the ruling we've needed on so-called "skill games." Too bad Pa government failed to address this for so long. Too bad courts took forever to act. Predictably, businesses took full advantage. But it's a full-scale clean-up on Aisle Four now: tinyurl.com/yr739r9h

This is an impromptu two for Tuesday on the state of "play" in Pennsylvania regarding gambling. First, a big warning sign on the pervasiveness of it all, and the insidious nature of the problems that can cause, by the indefatigable @ORMorrison tinyurl.com/yzevt34b

@PennLive The @PennLive newsroom's investments gave me the time to go in-depth into Pa.'s cyber charter schools last year. Those stories received the top Prize -- Best in Show -- at the Golden Quill awards last month for best Western PA newspaper journalism. 5 / 5 pennlive.com/education/2025…

My final stories @PennLive look at how Pennsylvania's billions in increasing gambling tax revenue is coming at a cost — which is being paid by a group of newly vulnerable residents: the people who have developed a gambling addiction on their phones. /1 pennlive.com/news/2026/06/i…
