If yer old and retired and don't have fixed amounts to time get things done, sure train travel would be fine. Unfortunately, hustle bustle is part of life. Working people are time constrained. Vacation time is not opened ended. Cant just tell my boss I will be back whenever. If I am taking a 4 day weekend to go see my grandkids, I dont want waste nearly 2 days of travel time getting there and back when I could fly there in a few hrs.

"Ilhan Omar is garbage" Trump is always RIGHT!!

Thank You , for not holding back. Please keep telling these TRAITORS the TRUTH!!

Oh, by the way ... President Trump Re-Truthed this yesterday

I'm almost 78 years old and have been hearing this same story for as long as I can remember. Yet Sandy Township is amazing for how it has grown. They seem to be way ahead of the game and I don't think it was all about available land. Everything they grew was on the outskirts of the business area and had to fight to get permission for water use. They grew anyway. DuBois never seems to grow much and it's NOT about land. It's about the business world is handled there. There is no sense of entrepreneurship, pride in development such as Ed Tate has shown. Very few businesses are driven enough or have the knowledge of HOW to grow if they try. If they make a living, then they are content. Also, I don't think they have ever hired a good developer with skilled experience. If they were serious, like Julie Stewart is, they would be working on every corner of available space and finding ways to use the second floors of the downtown area. I had a business there and we did all kinds of improvements to the building. Desert Storm put the end to that but the building went from unusable to fair condition because I invested pretty much everything back into it while I worked at Wendys on the Boulevard and raised 4 teens. I sold my share for about 300% more than I paid. I was going to start on the second floor so I could rent it out, but everything conspired to stop me. I was worn to the bone but at least I tried and used some determination. DuBois should show more initiative doing improvements to their businesses and less to ignoring problems and depending on raising taxes. That never builds anything!!

President Trump Makes an Announcement, Dec. 3, 2025 The main announcement was the rollback of federal fuel efficiency and tailpipe emission rules for cars and trucks in the U.S. Deregulating Automobile Industry: The announcement terminates the previous administration's costly automobile regulations. New Fuel Standard: The proposed rule change would lower the new car sales requirement from over 50 miles per gallon (by 2031) to 34.5 miles per gallon. Greenhouse Gas Limits: The administration will also "cancel" Environmental Protection Agency rules that limited greenhouse gas pollution from vehicle tailpipes. Consumer Choice: Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy stated that the rules will allow automakers to build vehicles that consumers want to purchase. Pardon: President Trump also announced he is pardoning House Democrat Henry Cuellar, who was facing federal bribery and conspiracy charges, stating that the indictment was for disagreeing with the previous administration's border policies. For more details on the fuel standards rollback, you can read the article Trump announces plans to weaken fuel efficiency rules for cars and trucks. The main announcement President Trump made today, December 3, 2025, centers on rolling back federal fuel efficiency and tailpipe emission rules for cars and trucks in the U.S. The administration is calling this the “Freedom Means Affordable Cars” initiative and states it is a major win for consumers and American manufacturing. >> Key Details on the Auto Rule Rollback New Fuel Standard: The proposal will reset the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. It aims for a fleet average of roughly 34.5 miles per gallon by the 2031 model year, which is a reduction from the previous administration's target of over 50 miles per gallon. Reasoning: The administration claims the previous rules broke the law and forced automakers into expensive restrictions to push electric vehicles (EVs). President Trump stated he is "terminating Joe Biden's ridiculously burdensome (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards". The White House estimates this change will save American families $109 billion and reduce the price of a new car by about $1,000. Greenhouse Gas Limits: The administration will also cancel Environmental Protection Agency rules that limited greenhouse gas pollution from vehicle tailpipes. Industry Support: Executives from Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis attended the announcement, praising the move for aligning fuel economy standards with "real-world market conditions" and consumer choice. >> Other Actions Today Pardon: President Trump announced he is pardoning House Democrat Henry Cuellar of Texas, who was facing federal bribery and conspiracy charges. Immigration: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has paused all immigration applications—such as requests for green cards or naturalizations—for people from 19 countries previously subjected to a travel ban. This pause is part of an effort to ensure those who entered the U.S. do not pose national security threats.

Oh, by the way ... Is this how Biden got 81 Million votes?

Who Can Contribute: Almost anyone can contribute, including parents, family members, friends, and employers. The child does not need to have earned income. Employer Contributions: Employers can contribute up to $2,500 annually, which does not count as taxable income for the employee, but does count toward the $5,000 total limit. Tax Deferral: The funds in the account grow tax-deferred, meaning earnings are not taxed until they are withdrawn. Contributions from individuals are made with after-tax dollars.

Oh, by the way ... They actually do believe they are ABOVE THE LAW!!

Maybe our leaders could work on finding attractive business to come and open here that could bring in money to the municipality to cover things they want to raise taxes for. I don’t know, call me crazy, but I feel like if we got back to the point of this area being a place to come to taxes wouldn’t need to be raised. But we just keep letting places close down and people move away.. this place will be a ghost town before too long.. and that’s sad.. we could flourish..

Petee is right. State police are stretched so thin to begin with.. Dubois barracks for example is responsible for halfway to clearfield to brookville to Brockport and I’m not sure how far south.. with probably the same amount or less of cars than are on in the city and township at the same time.. funding was approved for additional cadet classes for psp.. but they are stretched to thin to cover areas that can support local police
