Pennsylvania Tunrpike

Conspiracy, corruption and other malpractice is alleged at the Pennsylvania Turnpike by a former manager of labor relations Donald Kovac in a wrongful dismissal complaint filed in US District Court in Pittsburgh. Kovac says he was fired on the orders of chief operating officer George Hatalowich after he refused to reinstate a toll collector who had assaulted a motorist.

A Prius car club member who took this picture at the Sideling Hill Service Plaza is celebrating the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission's parking perk for "Low-emitting and fuel efficient vehicles." Right up close to the plaza building doors and next to the Handicapped parking spaces the Turnpike is doing a bunch of spaces signed for the 'green' vehicles.
