I think it’s going to be hard to overturn. The bus comes to a complete stop and has its sign out for four seconds then you drive by. I don’t doubt the possibility of the van blocking your view of the bus, but I think any judge will tell you to be more careful around buses and to always be prepared for a stop

Totally true. I call and leave a voicemail for him (his staff) after every awful, stupid, traitorous thing he says, or when the feds have to confiscate his cell phone “down the shore” (because he has too many buddies here and would have been tipped off). I hate it so much on behalf of everyone here who needs help with PennDOT or getting through to unemployment or literally anything else that is supposed to be his job.

I agree that taxes are high in PA but the job market is strong so I think that aspect attracts workers

Re: real estate prices, with the chewy center being in the Lehigh valley near Allentown/Bethlehem there is definitely affordable housing in the area

Not sure on what chewy was paying though so I guess affordable housing really comes down to it being affordable to who? If chewy wasn’t compensating adequately, the workers could be being priced out,

On the other hand though, that area has thousands of warehouse jobs so they would need to be competitive.

Additionally, regarding attracting workers. These types of positions are primarily filled by local workers because people don’t generally move interstate for entry or advanced level warehouse positions
