We note with great sadness the sudden passing of our friend and colleague, Ken Robinson. We will miss him dearly. Ken was a distinguished professional, an accomplished musician, loving father and the world’s most doting grandfather. He will always be in our hearts. As arrangements are made we’ll pass them along.

Additionally, while the lines of Pennsylvania congressional district map are now settled, Charlie discusses the confusion over who lives in which districts and the resulting spotlight on Pennsylvania as the midterm elections near.
