Proposed bill would bring back ‘much loved' Pennsylvania license plate
PENNSYLVANIA (WTAJ) — A representative has announced plans to introduce legislation that would bring back a previous design of the Conserve Wild Resources license plate.
According to John Schlegel (R-Lebanon County), the plate that depicted a saw-whet owl was loved by Pennsylvanians. However, that design was discontinued by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
'My legislation would require PennDOT to allow an individual to use the previously valid Conserve Wild Resources license plate that depicts a saw-whet owl if that plate meets PennDOT regulations and the alphanumeric pattern on the license plate is available,' Schlegel wrote.
The current Conserve Wild Resources plate has a small depiction of an Eastern Hellbender, which is Pennsylvania's state amphibian, on it. Schlegel added that the legislation would not eliminate the current design, but rather give residents the option to choose.

Gov. Shapiro delivers commencement address at West Scranton High School
Jun. 12—SCRANTON — Gov. Josh Shapiro on Wednesday told the West Scranton High School Class of 2025 graduating class that there are many different paths that their journey can take them down. "And hear me on this — there's no wrong path," Shapiro said. "There's only your path. There are many avenues to success. And we've got to respect — and support — all of them." Shapiro spoke directly to the 338 West Scranton High School graduates, their parents and teachers and staff, reminding the graduates that they represent the opportunity to chart their own course and succeed in Pennsylvania. The ceremony was held at the Lackawanna College Student Union building in Scranton. Since day one, Shapiro said he has worked to open doors of opportunity for all Pennsylvanians, no matter their path. On his first day in office, the governor said he signed an executive order announcing that 92% of state government jobs are open to Pennsylvanians without a college degree — and since then, nearly 60% of the Commonwealth's new hires do not have a four-year degree. Shapiro said he also made historic investments in public education — creating real opportunity for students, supporting teachers and school staff and delivering results across the Commonwealth. The governor said he has secured more than $2 billion in additional funding for K-12 public education — the largest investment in Pennsylvania history. And just two days earlier, the governor was in Berwick to announce that Amazon is planning to invest at least $20 billion to establish multiple high-tech cloud computing and artificial intelligence innovation campuses across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He said this initial investment from Amazon will create thousands of good-paying, stable jobs as Pennsylvania workers build, maintain, and operate the first two data center campuses — one in Luzerne County and another in Bucks County. Shapiro said this marks the largest private sector investment in the history of Pennsylvania. In his address, Shapiro said the students are key to Pennsylvania's future. "We have literally invested in your success," Shapiro said. "That is money very well spent. And you more than held up your end of the deal — you studied hard, tried new things, and accomplished a ton. And now, you're about to set out on your journey through life, stronger because of your West Scranton education." Shapiro said his administration has increased funding for vo-tech, career and technical education and apprenticeships, while investing in making college more affordable. "Consider this — right here at West, nearly 60 students from your graduating class completed classes at the Scranton-Lackawanna CTC," Shapiro said. "They studied everything from automotive and culinary arts to nursing and robotics. And 22% of your classmates here today — nearly 80 students — are going to take the skills they learned and go straight into the workforce. Another 10% are going to trade school; 8 of you are going into the military to serve our nation; and about half of you are going to college." Shapiro told the graduates that they are a great representation of the diversity of opportunities available here in Pennsylvania. "Each of you — no matter what path you choose — has the opportunity to be successful," he said. "And so if you remember only one thing from our time here today — remember that your governor showed up at your graduation because he gives a damn about you and asked you to blaze your own path. Chart your own course and follow your own gut. Live your own failures and find your own success." The Governor shares his story "When I graduated high school, my dream was to go to college, play on the basketball team, study pre-med, and then become a doctor — or maybe even be good enough to play professional basketball," Shapiro said. "You see how that turned out. I am none of those things. Instead, I flunked out of pre-med and got cut from the basketball team — on the very same day. "But I didn't give up. Instead, I found a passion for service that's guided my life's work ever since." Reach Bill O'Boyle at 570-991-6118 or on Twitter @TLBillOBoyle.

Two protests coming to State College Saturday, part of nationwide efforts
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (WTAJ) — Two protests are coming to State College this weekend, both claiming to be part of larger nationwide efforts. State College is a 'community that's very engaged politically' according to Mayor Ezra Nanes. 'People are passionate not only about this community but about this nation,' Nanes said. The two protests are No Kings and Kick Out the Clowns. According to the website, No Kings is a 'national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies.' Kick Out the Clowns also claims to be a nationwide effort with the goal of hosting a record-breaking number of community circuses across the country to 'reflect the absurdity of the MAGA regime.' Centre County elder abuse reports rising: new scams to watch out for 'I think across the entire nation, people are standing up for things that they believe in,' Nanes said. When asked if they were taking any extra steps like an increased police presence to prepare for the protests, the State College borough said Penn State Police would be the organization to reach out to instead since the demonstrations would be taking place on university property. In a call with the university police, the dispatcher said that handling protests is more of a State College issue, so Penn State Police will not be seeing an increased presence Saturday. Nanes believes the protests will not turn violent. 'This is a peaceful movement. People are here to express their views and show a powerful sense of unity. I do not expect anybody to do anything but protest peacefully,' Nanes added. Gov. Shapiro issued a statement June 12 ahead of the demonstrations. In it, he says his administration will 'remain focused on keeping our communities safe and ensuring all demonstrations remain peaceful,' and that they are in contact with 'local officials and law enforcement all across the Commonwealth.' No Kings is expected to start at 1 p.m., and Kick Out the Clowns will start right after at 2 p.m. At this time, WTAJ is unaware of any counter-protests popping up in response to the protests happening Saturday.

Cambria County LGBTQ community asks commissioners to recognize Pride Month
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WTAJ) — Members of Cambria County's LGBTQ+ community asked the Cambria County Commissioners to create a proclamation to celebrate June as Pride Month at the biweekly commissioner board meeting Thursday. The meeting saw a group of residents and local business owners protest the inaction, voicing their concerns during the public comment section. Members of the LGBTQ+ community see the proclamation as more than a reading of words on a piece of paper. 'The proclamation from the county commissioners is important to anyone in this community who is of the LGBTQ community for the sake of safety in our community of knowing that it's safe to be who you are and to come out as who you are and to be yourself,' local business owner Dustin Greene of Ace's said. 'This is not who we are:' State College church reacts after Pride flag burned Commissioners sat through multiple segments of three-minute comments from protesters, citing how other businesses and local governments have provided them with that proclamation of pride. 'We have received proclamations from many other entities in this community, including the local government here in the city level,' Greene added. 'But the county has not given us the proclamation. don't know why they haven't given us the proclamation. All they have to do is decide to do it.' No motion was made to start a proclamation. Commissioner Scott Hunt is in favor of it, but Commissioner Keith Rager mentioned his religious beliefs to be a component of not signing his name for the proclamation. 'I do not participate in Pride Month because it's not because I'm angry or mad at people at that. I have a deep-seated faith. The main reason I'm a commissioner because I felt God called me in 2023. I don't need this to fulfill anything. I'm doing it out of almost a labor of love to fill our county. So, as a U.S. Marine, I fought for our freedoms. I should have the freedom to practice my religion however I see fit.' The proclamation needs one signature to make it official. The protesters do not feel that one will be signed on the dotted line for it to pass, the second straight year this has happened. 'I don't think they heard us,' Greene said. 'I hope that they can hear our message, but I don't think that they are going to give us the proclamation that others in this community have.' 'I'm scared, and I want the community to say, 'No, we will protect you. That won't happen here,' resident Catherine-Anne McCloskey said. The group requested that the proclamation be finished by June 21, the same day as the Johnstown Pride event in Central Park. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
