OOOPS!

“The seven-term Republican senator from Schuylkill County represented northeastern Pennsylvania’s coal country and was the longtime chairman of the Senate Education Committee. He helped craft every major education initiative in recent history, including the Pennsylvania Safe Schools Act and the Head Start Supplemental Assistance Program, Scarnati and Pileggi said.”

Now I feel sad.

sad, my husband saw the rescue trucks heading to the scene when he was out on Route 209 last night, and then he’d read online about the accident just this morning. When I read that he had internal injuries and had to be cut out of the car, I was hoping and praying he’d make it.

Any word on his wife?

Condolences to his family.

“He helped craft every major education initiative in recent history”

How many state Republican representatives have been killed in the last 4 years?

National?

Retirements?

“Fair” newscasters?

What is 2 moves down the playing field?

meanwhile, another Pennsylvanian, the evil and worthless John Murtha continues to breathe and work toward the destruction of this great nation.

"Rhoades had served in the state Senate since 1981 and was seeking an eighth four-year term. He also served as a member of the Appropriations, Transportation, Law and Justice, and Environmental Resources and Energy committees."

WOW!!! A Senior Senator!

Rest in Peace....

The article says it was a head on collision between his vehicle and another, but it doesn’t say which vehicle was going the wrong way.
