Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend. There was more in the way of editorials than news this weekend (understandably), but a few stories stick out. Dan Malloy at the Post-Gazette has the weekend’s most thorough piece, a look at the GOP’s redistricting strategy. In other news, former House Speaker Kenneth Lee passed away, sharks are circling the Foxwoods casino license, and a growing chorus calls for pension reform. PoliticsPA had extra time to read the Sunday opinions thanks to the postponement of the Eagles game.
