In the face of Governor Wolf’s arbitrary and opaque rules for re-opening our economy, a group of Franklin County area business people have decided that enough is enough and have formed a group called “Fighting Back ReOpen May 11th”.

Citizens and elected representatives of Pennsylvania's rural areas have had it with their socialist governor's tyrannical lock down orders.

These governors are afraid to lead, so the ongoing lockdown forever is easier.

The Wolf admin should publish their thinking on why all of the counties that get to open are on the North/West side of the state. This doesn’t seem to be data driven, and if it is they should explain themselves.

I can tell you that an inordinate number of them border New York, whereas locked down Marylanders look to be locked out of Pennsylvania shopping opportunities.

Northumberland county gets to open. There are 13 counties that are in better shape than Northumberland that are not allowed to open. Franklin is not one of those counties, but the thinking on who gets to open and who doesn’t, seems to not make sense, objectively.

I don’t think the process was as arbitrary as it’s made out to be. The governor basically decided NOT to do this on a county-by-county basis, but instead aggregated groups of counties into large regions of Pennsylvania. The counties that have been upgraded to the “Yellow” stage are simply those in the northwestern quadrant of the state.

You’re right it is regional rather than county level. Still you have a big swathe running north/south that isn’t bad at all. The bad spots are anything close to Philly, Pittsburgh, I-95, I-83.

Pennsylvania is ruined by three cities that are liberal infested sh*tholes: Philadelphia,Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. They have some nice areas and history but the politics and third world voters are repulsive. This rot also has permeated into the Suburbs. It was a miracle that Trump took Pa.
