Block’s decision not to run the letters to the editor, one submitted by the union representing more than 150 of the paper’s current newsroom employees and one submitted by more than two dozen former Post-Gazette employees, marked the latest chapter in an ongoing and increasingly public rift between the paper’s ownership and the paper’s staff.
[Rob] Rogers has been the editorial cartoonist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for more than 25 years. Most working cartoonists have had an occasional idea spiked by his or her editor. But in the past few weeks, editorial director Keith Burris and publisher John Robinson Block have refused to publish six of Rogers’s cartoons, all criticizing Trump or his policies. Block and Burris have also rejected many of Rogers’s rough sketch ideas for several months.
Sessions said the goal of the policy is not "to see if we can be mean to children." He said the point is to crack down on potential child trafficking or abuse and discourage parents from bringing their children on the often-dangerous border crossing.
Wednesday, prior to Sessions' speech, a group of religious leaders from the United Methodist Church, Islamic Society of North America, Union for Reform Judaism, Mennonite Church and 20 other diverse religious organizations released a joint statement criticizing the policy.
Ducey, however, is a strong supporter of Black despite numerous controversies at Parks. His office is standing behind Hartin's firing.
And it’s because of Harris’ reporting that we learned of accusations about Parks Director Sue Black, including claims that she berated and harassed employees, got drunk at public functions and made racial slurs while representing the state at a conference.Records show state Parks director was investigated in 2015, then given big raise.

Bennett’s new ruling notes that the federal government was no longer contesting the case. President Donald Trump opposes Obamacare, formally called the Affordable Care Act.

For young men, traditional roles of childhood and fatherhood have become unmoored in recent years.
Millennials, for example, have started leaving pricey city centers and are moving to the suburbs . And young people are living at home longer than ever , according to a Pew Research Center study, because of high housing costs and lower marriage rates, which is upending the traditional timeline when young urbanites marry, have children and move to the suburbs.Why rent when you can live at home and buy these priced duds?
The swarming behavior we see is actually a moving party: whereas the ants would normally be content to stay in their burrows most of the time, when the colony gets to big or cannot be supported by the environment, it splits off with a new queen to form an entirely new colony elsewhere. That would be why you see them – not simply swarming – but trailing off in a certain direction. It is very common to see these moving parties during the mid-summer months specifically because of the extended heat of summer.
Frostman also won the election in a district that Republicans have represented for more than 40 years. That is likely to energize progressives seeking to flip the GOP-controlled Senate in what observers say may be part of a “blue wave” of Democratic electoral successes this fall.
Sixteen months before Wisconsin Democrat Sen. Tammy Baldwin will have a Republican opponent in the 2018 Senate race, more than a million dollars worth of TV and radio ads attacking her have already run across the state.
