Our View
State College Borough Council is considering a nuisance ordinance that may come up for a vote next month. If passed, the ordinance will hold party hosts responsible for the raucous behavior of their guests.
Opinion
Thumbs up: To Stacy Parks Miller, Centre County’s district attorney-elect, for running a strong campaign focused on issues.
Thumbs up: To Elizabeth Goreham, mayor-elect in State College, who promises to build on the legacy of the late Bill Welch.
Thumbs down: To wording in a Madeira campaign flier saying ACORN worked to register voters here last year, with no facts to support it.
The following editorial appeared in the Chicago Tribune on Monday:
State College just finished its municipal elections. Unexpectedly, the election included the selection of a new mayor. Bill Welch was running for re-election when he suddenly passed away — leaving a void in our local politics and, more importantly, in our community.

We don’t know why Faleh Hassan Almaleki came to this country in the mid-’90s, and it’s unlikely he’ll be able to tell us anytime soon. He’s in jail in Maricopa County, Ariz., at this writing, in lieu of a $5 million cash bond. It hardly seems farfetched,
I think back to my time in the now inactivated 318th Maintenance Company in the 1990s here in State College.
Wow. Where do I begin? The Ohio State game is far from a game. It is a full-combat war between skilled adversaries whose loyalty and history run deep — Red vs. Blue. It is where legends are born.
