The total for the overall spending plan for SB1073 is $31.62 billion, which is
actually an increase following a move by the Senate to transfer $95 million a
Commonwealth Financing Authority, a bonding authority. As reported by the <a href="http://www.mcall.com/news/breaking/mc-pa-final-budget-wolf-legislature-20160630-story.html">Morning

Monarch Staffing suggests that if you are in the job
market and not on LinkedIn, this is the first step.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Social media is a key aspect of the job
market, and 92% of recruiters use social media to find job applicants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Specifically, 87% used LinkedIn to reach the right
candidate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the perfect social
media platform for the job market because it focuses on business rather than
social life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Monarch recommends creating
your LinkedIn profile to highlight your work experience section by describing your
accomplishments and quantifying how your work improved the company during your
employment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>LinkedIn allows subscribers
to request recommendations from prior employment connections, adding to your
LinkedIn profile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This really gets a potential
employer’s attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

events can advance your search.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>LinkedIn

A new method of job searching has developed because there
are so many online career platforms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It
is called the “shotgun” style and involves sending résumés to every job
available for which you qualify.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Monarch
Staffing does not recommend this style.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They advise to self-assess and understand your career goals in the
interim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is strongly suggested to
place an elevator pitch at the top of your résumé to catch immediate
attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since most hiring managers
only briefly review résumés, it is necessary to update your résumé including an
easy to read list of specific skills.<o:p></o:p></div>

Social media can be a wonderful tool while you are in the
job market, but you also need to be aware how others view you through your
social media pages. This means being aware of what aspects you post online and
also the nature of pictures you are in. By understanding the image you want to
project through social media can increase your chances when competing for a
job. It is understood that all employers will view your social media pages to
gain a better understanding of who you are, so always post responsibly. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">With
the Memorial Day weekend just passing, the summer has officially kicked off. We
always try to make the most of the summer and have some memorable days, but
sometimes we feel as if we fall short. Many run to the shore throughout the
summer because they feel as if Delaware County does not provide many summer events,
but that could not be farther from the truth. Delco has an array of activities
for all ages during the summer. Whether you’re a night owl or prefer the crack
of dawn, Delco has an event for you. Here are a few suggestions for the month
of June. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the roar of the crowd and listen to the entertaining chants of the “Sons of
Ben”. While watching the game, you can see why the Philadelphia Union is
becoming one of the most popular teams in the city. Come see the Union take on
an Eastern Conference rival, the Chicago Fire. Also for Delco Night, there will
be a discounted rate with tickets only costing $20, so invite everyone down to
Talen Energy Stadium. For groups of 10 or more you will receive one autographed
item, video board recognition, and chances to win game day experiences. Finally
who doesn’t enjoy a great tailgate before the game? The Delaware County Chamber
of Commerce will be hosting their own tailgate before Delco Night with food and
beverages being provided by Pat’s Pizzeria and Sterling Pig Brewery. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

iconic State St. of Media. While attending the night, you can experience
delicious cuisine and shop some marvelous stores that make Media the perfect
night out. Since the event closes State St. from Jackson to Orange St., you can

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">In the midst of the spring season and summer quickly
approaching, people love to begin work on the exterior of their home. Whether
it be gardening, lawn maintenance, or outdoor furniture it becomes a necessity
for the outdoor appearance. But everyone can admit there’s nothing
like taking care of the interior of your home. An interior renovation can
breathe new life and make it feel brand new. Of course we care
about the outer appearance of our home, but when you step inside this is where
it can truly make a difference with just some subtle changes. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Coreys-Floors-288594361172802/"><span style="color: #0563c1;">Corey’s Floors</span></a>

The first renovation that can really make an impact, would
have to be changing your flooring. Of course some people have a preference for
carpet, but Jeff suggests that if this is your “forever home” then hardwood is
the way to go. Throughout home renovations, there is a popularity growing with
hardwood that can make all the difference. Though hardwood is more expensive
than carpet, the investment is worth it since hardwood can last a lifetime with
proper care. Carpet might only last about five to ten years, however, if you
are on a smaller budget then refinishing or cleaning could be a simpler step
and still have an impact.<o:p></o:p></div>

Did you know that in a lifetime you will spend over 92 days
in the bathroom? So obviously with so much time spent there, the next renovation
should be the bathroom. Jeff has seen a push recently for people modernizing
their commode. One nice feature to really modernize the room would be the
shower. People are now moving away from the classic tub and shower head, and
have begun a trend for the walk-in shower with multiple jets. Forget about just
soaking in the tub after a stressful day, and enjoy a pulsating shower head
that can massage all your worries away. <o:p></o:p></div>

People have said that the kitchen is the heart of the home,
so why not pump some new life into that heart with just a few changes. You
don’t need to strip out the whole kitchen to have it look brand new. Besides
just updating appliances, Jeff offers that installing new cabinets can make all
the difference. Replace those old cabinets you’ve had since you moved in, with
a modern wood grain look that can quickly draw attention. Cabinets are not what
they used to be, so you know longer have to yell at the kids, “stop slamming
the cabinet doors” since new cabinets have a self-closing feature. <o:p></o:p></div>

Stairs may not be an obvious renovation for most people, and
has never even crossed their mind, but a brand-new set of stairs is the perfect
way to change the look of a home. Wouldn’t you love to tell people that you
installed a custom stair case with oak hardwood? Jeff is very excited to
announce that custom staircases are becoming a major focus for his company and
have really helped his customers’ homes shine. Another major benefit with
having new stairs, is that it actually increases the value of your home. <o:p></o:p></div>

Painting is usually the first step when people think about
renovation, but to set your room apart even more would be to install beautiful
moldings in whichever room you prefer. Jeff states that many people are going
to crown moldings, especially as an added decorative piece for custom living
rooms. Also adding chair rails can add depth to the room and allow you to even
go with two colors on the wall to have a nice contrast. <o:p></o:p></div>

Now these five renovations are guaranteed to make you feel
like you just moved in to a new home. Also if you’re not the "do it yourself"
type then Jeff Corey is only a phone call away to handle all of these
renovations and more. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Coreys-Floors-288594361172802/"><span style="color: #0563c1;">Corey’s Floors</span></a>
prides itself on being a family owned company that has been around for
thirty-seven years. With that much experience you can’t get any better service.
Jeff states that unlike the big-box stores, he cares about his customers and
treats every home like it’s his own. Every aspect of the company is family
oriented having had all four of his sons work with him and still has the two
youngest, Danny and Steve, help run the company. Also his wife, Carol Corey, is
the Vice President running operations. So give Jeff Corey (610-368-8477) a call
and see what sets them apart, and enjoy the luxury of the “Shop at Home”
service with free estimates. <o:p></o:p></div>

(May 18, 2016) – </span></b><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">The
Pennsylvania Energy Infrastructure Alliance (PEIA) today issued the following
statements in response to a new study by IHS Economics and the National
Association of Manufacturers (NAM) Center for Manufacturing Research that

manufacturing growth and employment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Manufacturing: Natural Gas and Economic Growth</span></a>,” notes that even as natural
gas production reshapes the U.S. economy and redefines America’s competitive
advantages, there is still room to grow, as there is a mismatch,
geographically, in natural gas supply and demand. New pipeline and processing
infrastructure will be keys to connecting new supply sources with new and
growing sources of demand, especially in manufacturing sectors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Finally to cap off the program, a celebration was held the
third night for the students and their families, along with an array of
Delaware County leaders. The night allowed everyone to share in the success of
the students and to recap the topics covered in the program. Also the students
were divided into groups to give their own “Ignite Presentation” on the theme
of leadership. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">Overall the program was a major success helping promote
leadership in Delaware County, and preparing the next generation of future
leaders. Chamber president, Trish McFarland stated “Our future depends so much
on the next generation of individuals who are willing to accept the challenge,
that we must help nurture and support our young area leaders. The Delaware
County Chamber is committed to recognizing the leaders of tomorrow, and
promoting the success of our students.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

level, a burger is a piece of meat and a bun with something on it. It’s simple
but it seems to make a lot of people happy.”- Danny Meyer (NYC restaurateur and

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">The
hamburger has to be considered one of the most popular foods in the United
States. It is actually so popular that the sandwich is sometimes referred to as
the “Liberty Sandwich”. But don’t let this name fool you. The hamburger is so
popular throughout the world, that 60% of sandwiches sold globally are actually
burgers. In America alone, 50 billion burgers are eaten in one single year.
Many experimented with the idea of the classic hamburger and have attempted
some very bold choices for toppings on this popular sandwich. So if you’re asking
yourself “Where’s the beef?” or tired of grabbing a quick drive-thru burger
then let the Chamber suggest these five amazing burgers in Delaware County. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

that doesn’t seem to be satisfied right here in Delco, this may be the one that
finally puts your “Lone Star” yearning to rest. This ½ lb. burger served on a
toasted, texas-sized bun can remind you how a burger is supposed to be. If you
argue that best condiment for a burger is barbeque sauce and not ketchup, then
Texas Roadhouse agrees having this burger topped with sweet, smoky goodness.
Since Texas Roadhouse has such an incredible sense of pride in everything they
do to ensure a legendary experience for all their guests, this handcrafted
burger will not disappoint. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">When you bite into a
burger, instead of asking “Where’s the meat?” but exclaim “Where’s the heat?”
Firebird’s has answered your call. Now you can’t think bold without thinking of
the fire-grilled Durango Burger, and these bold flavors will sure give you the
right kick. Also with so much heat, why not cool off with happy hour happening
Monday through Friday from 4 pm to 6:30 pm. Their $2 off draft beers and $5
well drinks can be a great combination with this feisty burger. Come enjoy
upscale dining at a modest price with this polished-casual atmosphere. With
Firebird’s being so popular it is recommended to make reservations. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

same ground beef in a burger and looking for a leaner meat, than Iron Hill has
the solution. And for you burger-lovers out there that are stuck in their ways
claiming a turkey-burger isn’t a real burger, then you have never had this one.
The Santa Fe burger will change the way you think about burgers and open you up
to a whole new world with this creative collaboration. With the pursuit of
happiness in mind when originally forming Iron Hill Brewery, this burger can
sure get you a lot closer. The inspired, yet informal new American cuisine with
comfortable casual atmosphere makes Iron Hill the perfect place to be on a
night out. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

old when he arrived at Melmark, and had severe difficulty behaving in a
classroom setting. Melmark’s behavior analytic team paired </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Michael with two staff who
worked to identify why he was reacting negatively to </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">his environment and helped
him learn to more clearly communicate his wants </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">and needs. Michael is a
wonderful example of the success of the Melmark School. His life is richer, as
his family’s. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Philly Tech Week 2016 (PTW2016) marks the sixth year of celebrating the intersection of art, media, entertainment and technology and its role in economic development. Delaware County Chamber of Commerce, AT&T and HeadRoom will bring Philly Tech Week to the suburbs for the second time. HeadRoom is producing the Signature Event – Startup StorySlam® – to take place in Media on Thursday, May 5th at 6 pm. Corey Furlan, Co-Founder of Sons of Ben will be a featured speaker at the event.<br />
<br />
Startup StorySlam® is a friendly competition where entrepreneurs share five minute stories of their business successes, challenges and entrepreneurial learnings based on the evening’s theme. The theme for this event is ‘Disruption.’ “Disruptive technologies and disruptive businesses are frequently analyzed in the news. We believe there are interesting people and stories in our community that can speak to the theme of being disrupted in a job, in a business or to actually causing a disruption. We can’t wait to hear the stories.” says John Tooher of HeadRoom. On May 5th, story tellers will be judged based on the content of their story, how they use the theme and overall presentation. The story teller with the highest overall score will be awarded prizes including a one year membership to the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce; a one year residency membership to HeadRoom, and an AT&T gift certificate.<br />
<br />
Corey Furlan will serve as a special feature story teller. Corey is fresh off his appearance at the South by Southwest® (<em>SXSW</em>®) Conferences and Festivals in Austin, Texas. <em>SXSW</em>® offers the unique convergence of original music, independent films, and emerging technologies. Corey was invited by Major League Soccer to speak on the topic of "Understanding the MLS Supporters Culture". As part of Delco Philly Tech Week, Corey will share his unique perspective of disrupting the trajectory of a community by creating a loyal, passionate, and community focused group of MLS fans known as Sons of Ben.<br />
<br />
AT&T is sponsoring the Delaware County PTW2016 venues– Suburban Innovation. Joseph Divis, Executive Director AT&T says, “AT&T is proud to support the celebration of innovation and business development throughout this region. With today’s robust networks, cloud-based applications and innovative products from AT&T and the wireless industry, it is easier and more cost effective for entrepreneurs to pursue their passion and build a business from anywhere. In this environment, we should expect entrepreneurs to leverage disrupted markets and to create new disruptions.”<br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">It’s surprising with the
advances we made in technology and all the resources we have right at our
fingertips, people still exchange business cards. But we still do, and it can
be such a hassle to try and keep track of all the cards we exchange. Also it’s
a very monotonous and time-consuming task to enter all the information from the
cards to your contact list. This app helps speed the process and manages your
contact list with one snap of a picture. This business card reader converts
business card information by taking a picture of them and adding them to your
contact list. It is an easy and painless way to keep your contact list
up-to-date. Also this app will go the extra-mile from other “card reader” apps by
using the business card information and add the person you met as a LinkedIn
connection. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Anybody who is in the
business field knows the struggle of conference calls. Whether it be trying to
have everyone on the same line or having them all use the same platform, it can
be a hassle. With so many platforms available for video conference calls,
it can be a real challenge for everyone to use the same one. Maybe it’s because
some won’t download correctly or they just prefer other types. Now with this
app, you will no longer have to have everyone on the same platform for video
conference calls. This service lets companies conduct video conference calls
with everyone using different platforms like Google Hangouts, Microsoft Lync,
and many more. And it gets even better. You do not even have to be at a
computer to be a part of the call since the app can work right off your iPhone.

be at risk of revealing your information, but this highly secure app works
without breaking into your phone’s software. Also the app can support multiple

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since
opening their doors in August 2015, <a href="http://www.2spbrewing.com/" target="_blank">2SP Brewing Company</a> has quickly become one
of the most popular brewing companies in Delaware County and the Philadelphia
area. Already having over 200 accounts where their beer is sold,
this is truly a company on the rise. Owner, Michael Stiglitz, always had a
passion for beer and while formerly working for Iron Hill Brewing Company, his
passion only grew stronger. Working for Iron Hill, Stiglitz was
introduced to craft beers and some very important connections which would lead
to the 2SP Brewery today. Stiglitz convinced both Bob Barrar (Head Brewer) and
Andrew “Ruby” Rubenstein (Head Cellarman) to join him in creating their own
brewing company. But it was Barrar’s one condition to join with Stiglitz
that lead to such quick success and recognition. Barrar ,who was born and
raised in Glenolden, would only join if he was able to brew one particular beer
and pay homage to the county he loved. That brew is known today as “Delco Lager.”
This decision would quickly put the brewery on the map, and make them stand out
among the competition. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">This springtime and
summer grisette is the perfect way to cool off with the heat quickly
approaching. With hints of melon this craft offers a crisp and refreshing taste.
It is easy to drink and perfect to try if you are new to sampling craft
beers. Though Stiglitz believes this to be there number one beer they have
brewed, its beginnings make it a bit ironic and interesting. He believed that
this French, hoppy, farmhouse ale was not marketable and refused to brew it.
It was Ruby who decided to brew it since there was an empty fermenter tank
and Stiglitz was gone for the weekend. When Stiglitz returned he was irritated
with Ruby’s decision, but was amazed with its taste and it is now his favorite
beer at 2SP. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">This is 2SP’s very own
version of the Belgian favorite. The clean yet complex saison is ripe with
fruit without being overbearing. At first sip, there are notes of light spice
and herbs, but it’s the yeast that gives it a characteristic of fruitiness and
aroma. Being neither super dry or too sweet, it is the perfect blend of
finesse and strength. Also if you’re celebrating or want to feel a
little more sophisticated, than this is the perfect alternative to “boring,
old” champagne. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

precious American style stout takes after its father, Bob’s Russian Imperial
Stout. Served with helpings of roasty and chocolate malts, and American hops,
this bold and dry stout is semisweet with a hint of coffee notes. Also with it
only being 6%, this is a stout Stiglitz says you can drink without it being overbearing or making you feel full. This stout does not “fall
far from the tree” and can live up to dad’s expectations. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is an ideally
balanced Double IPA, without inhibition or prohibition for flavor. The bold, pushing hops and therapeutic malts offers a tropical fruit and dry flavor.
Though this Double IPA strives for balance, it has a perplexing desire for
American hops. Out of the 30+ beers brewed, this is one of those crafts that
stood out, and from day one Stiglitz fell in love. Let this punishing brew punch
you in the mouth, and show you why its “top dog.”<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

balance of roasts and citrus with a stiff earthy and floral flavor. Key notes
of orange surround this notably less bitter IPA style. Originally, Stiglitz did
not like the English IPA style, but it was Barrar’s creation that opened his
eyes to this new style. With Cold Cock being Barrar’s favorite beer at 2SP,
this is a must try with the Head Brewer giving his stamp of approval. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It has been almost 10 months since Governor Wolf vetoed the General
Assembly’s proposed budget. Nearly 10 months without a budget, the longest in
Pennsylvania’s history, meaning that essential services have gone without
needed funding and are schools will possibly close soon as well. Governor Wolf
believes the only way out of our current budget deficit is more spending and
more taxes, but putting it politely the Governor is out of touch. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt; margin: 0in 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Republican Majority Leaders in the legislature have worked to
create a balanced budget with fewer taxes so that essential services get the
funds they so desperately need, but we do not break the backs of hardworking
taxpayers. The Governor has asked the General Assembly to pass bills that
increase the state income tax, increase the state sales tax, and further expand
the sales tax to cover additional items and services. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt; margin: 0in 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Governor Wolf wants to raise the personal income tax from 3.07 percent
to 3.7 percent, burdening the middle class with a 16 percent tax increase. Rep.
Adolph (R-Delaware), Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, summed up
the Governor’s budget proposal with a simple sentence. “Wow, an incredible
amount of taxes”. It is common sense that these broad based tax increases will
hurt Pennsylvanians and their businesses across the board.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 13.5pt; margin: 0in 0in 13.5pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now Governor Wolf has proposed a new budget for the 16-17 fiscal years
while 15-16 budgets have not yet been completed. This new budget has the same
exact failings as the first, higher taxes and increased spending. If this path
continues Governor Wolf will not pass a budget until it meets his exact
criteria, which will place financial strain on Pennsylvanians. While this
battle continues in Harrisburg many on the sidelines are continually hurt because
of the lack of state services available.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Pizza is considered to be one of the most popular and beloved foods throughout the world. To be honest, who doesn’t enjoy grabbing a slice? Since the simpler times where you only had two choices: plain or pepperoni, pizza has adapted and become a staple in our culture. Many have attempted to leave there mark on the pizza culture with creative toppings or just becoming known as the local place to be. Now Delaware County has a wide variety of places to choose from for pizza, and it seems that everyone offers it as a menu item. So where do you go? More than likely you find a place you like and stick with it. You don’t want to take the chance and end up with a bad pie. But like Mel Brooks said, “Pizza is like sex. Even when it is bad it is good.” So let the Chamber steer you in the right direction to some must try slices in Delco, you won’t be disappointed!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Actually in the United States 4% of pizza eaten by children is for breakfast. But don’t you wish you could have something more? Well, Frankie’s has the solution. This flat bread breakfast pizza is one of a kind from the fluffy scrambled eggs to the crispy sizzling bacon. This could be the best form of brunch ever. With Frankie’s only being a year old, they are already being recognized for their fabulous menu with the Delaware County Daily Times voting them “2015 Best of Delco” for best breakfast, catering, family dining, wings, vegetarian, and crab cakes. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Little Anthony’s prides itself on using top quality ingredients. The Margherita pizza has such a fresh taste you can see why they are so famous.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Since
opening its doors in 1955, <a href="http://pinpizza.com/index.asp"><span style="color: #0563c1;">Pinocchio’s</span></a>
has been a staple in the borough of Media. Their fantastic
selection on the menu makes it a must stop. What you might not know, this is also the place to be for the avid beer connoisseur or someone
just looking to try something new. Having so much success selling
mix-and-match six packs, Pinocchio’s manager, Tim Volikas, had the brilliant
idea to create the first beer garden and bottle shop in the Delaware County
area. With this decision, it sparked a new draw for Pinocchio’s and created a
wonderful new Delco destination. Since <a href="http://pinpizza.com/beer.asp"><span style="color: #0563c1;">Pinocchio’s Beer Garden</span></a> celebrated its
six year anniversary this past December, they have become a hot spot with their friendly atmosphere and highly knowledgeable staff.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">This uncivilized and aggressive West Coast
style IPA truly packs a punch and it is easily understood why this is one of
their top seller’s at the garden. From the first pour, an aroma of hops
overtakes you, while your first sip packs wicked hop flavors with just a note
of pine and citrus. If you are a fan of IPA’s than this is what you have been
looking for and let this big bitter IPA crush your pallet. With such a bold
flavor, it may be hard to pair anything to go along with this beer, but Morris
recommends Pinocchio’s Upside Down Pizza. With the complexity and boldness of
the sharp cheddar, fight big with big enjoying this pair. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

is brewed with their special blend of spices and is incredibly refreshing and
full of flavor. Let this smooth brew allow you to taste the blend of spices and
cloves, with hints of fruit to refresh the pallet. This easy drinking “American
Classic” is the perfect fit for someone who is new to IPA’s, and would like to
sample what Morris considers to be the “Best American Belgium White”. Since this
beer is smooth and has an array of spices and flavors, it is suggested to pair
this with a simpler taste like Pinocchio’s classic plain pizza. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

IPA they call Perpetual. Cycling through their HopBack vessel and dry-hopping
method, this bold American Double/ Imperial IPA emerges rife with sticky citrus
rind, pine balm and tropical fruit. With its consistent flavor, this is a beer
you can drink almost anywhere and be satisfied. Also Morris considers
Perpetual IPA to be the best local IPA. Since this
is another smooth beer with a variety of flavors, something simple is in order
to eat with this craft. So for you vegetarian pizza lovers out there, mushroom
is the way to go. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

at Pinocchio’s, Sculpin’s unique flavor and the tart freshness of grapefruit perfectly complements their IPA’s citrusy hop character. Though grapefruit is a
winter fruit, this easy-drinking ale tastes like summer. This ale started
the fruit trend for IPA brewing, and with so much popularity Ballast Point
recently sold for $1 billion. It is a must try to see what
all the fuss is about. Being such a versatile beer, Morris recommends to sample
it with a dessert. So for all you sweet tooth’s out there, why not enjoy Pinocchio’s “Brownie
Delight” alongside this incredible ale. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Pennsylvania’s unprecedented nine-month state budget crisis
ended on March 23rd when Democratic Governor Tom Wolf announced he would not
veto a Republican bill that contained the remaining $7 billion of the 2015-2016
budget.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a rare move, the Governor
chose not to actually sign the latest budget bill, but allowed it to become law
without his signature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Governor said
he simply could not sign a budget that fell far short on his education funding
goals, among other things. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
The final piece of Pennsylvania’s budget was sent to the
Governor in mid-March by the General Assembly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There was enormous pressure on Wolf to not veto the bill, a move that
would have once again caused schools to consider shutting their doors or
borrowing more money before summer break.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While school funding was at the center of the final supplemental budget
bill, the fact that several Democrats joined Republicans in advancing the
budget revealed a weakness for the Governor in his own party, and Republican
legislative leaders had openly discussed rounding up Democratic votes to
override a veto if one occurred.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
So who won the budget battle of 2015-2016?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A case can easily be made that Republicans
came out on top.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After repeatedly saying
taxpayers could not afford the spending and tax increases proposed by Wolf in
his first budget proposal, Republicans contained state spending to just over
$30 billion in the final budget, boosted education funding by $200 million and
stopped the Governor’s tax increases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
the end of the day, the GOP can take credit for a no-tax-increase budget that
increased funding for schools.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Where does all of this leave Pennsylvania in terms of the
2016-2017 budget that is required to be in place by June 30th?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, the answer is “in yet another big
mess.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The partisan gridlock fueled by
deep philosophical divisions over taxes and spending that dominated the first
fifteen months of Governor Wolf’s term continues.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
In February, when Governor Wolf called for a 2016-2017 budget
totaling $30.8 billion with $2.7 billion in tax increases, including an 11
percent income tax increase retroactive to January, Republican leaders
immediately expressed opposition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With
the current year’s budget finally wrapped up after months of intense
negotiations and public relations wars on taxes, spending and school funding,
Harrisburg observers see another major budget battle looming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is especially true because 2016 is an
important election year, with state House and Senate candidates hoping to win
votes based on support for or opposition to various budget proposals.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
The table has been set for the budget crisis to repeat
itself, a reminder of William Shakespeare’s keen observation in The Tempest
that “what’s past is prologue.”<o:p></o:p></div>

to the same restaurants, or maybe you are just not a fan of the bar scene? Of
course the Delaware County area has its array of nightlife, but it seems that restaurants
and bars are the only focus. But what about the people that don’t enjoy bars
but still want to have a memorable and exciting night? With the spring weather
finally arriving, and summer just around the corner let these five places make
it a night you won’t forget, without having alcohol included. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

heart of Media it is truly a staple in the art community for Delaware County. The
building is a contributing structure in the Rose Valley Historic District
listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With its roots in the
artisan/craftsman movement at the turn of the last century, the building itself
is a site to see. Take a step back in time as you are seated in a very intimate
theatre, with the audience and actors alike engaging one another. Get lost in
the beauty of the theatre, and the marvelous story telling portrayed by the
company. With performances running through spring and summer, Hedgerow could be
the perfect place for art lovers and history buffs to attend each weekend. Also
attendance will not break the bank with ticket prices listed at:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">With the MLS season just kicking off, watching the
Philadelphia Union at Talen Energy Stadium could be the perfect night out.
Listening to the roar of the 18,000+ fans cheering can’t help but make you fall
in love with this sport. The fans themselves are truly a sight to see,
especially the iconic “Sons of Ben” who lead the crowd in chants and put their
own “Philly” attitude into the mix. Come see one the fastest growing teams in
Philadelphia, and learn how to “Doop” with the fans. With many promotional nights
going throughout the season, like <a href="https://delawarepacoc.wliinc32.com/events/philadelphia-union-delco-night--55758/details?dnh=true" target="_blank"><strong>Delco Night</strong></a>, this could be a wonderful night
out for the entire family, and sports fans alike. This too is also a money
saver with some tickets starting as low as $27. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

IceWorks, and cool off while you lap it up on the ice. If you enjoy ice skating,
or would like to learn how then IceWorks could be a great spot. Come check out
their “Open Skate” events for the public for only $10 (free for children under
4). But if you’re more of a hockey type of person and have no team to play
with, then IceWorks has the solution. Having “Open Hockey” events allows you
the opportunity to play hockey without having to worry about finding a team.
Just show up and enjoy a pickup game of hockey along other players in the area.
With “Open Hockey” only costing $10 this is a very inexpensive way to play for
athletes, and if you are a goalie then we have great news for you. Goalies can
step on the ice for FREE at “Open Hockey”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Small business owner Tom Killion, a candidate for the Pennsylvania Senate in
the 9<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>th</sup> Senatorial District, has earned the endorsement of three
major business organizations representing job creators in Pennsylvania, as well
as in Delaware and Chester Counties. Today, Killion announced that he has
received the backing of the Chester County Chamber of Business and Industry
(CCCBI); the Delaware County Chapter of SEPAC, the Political Action Committee
of the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce; and ChamberPAC, the political arm
of the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 105%;">Killion is running in a Special Election on Tuesday,
April 26<span style="font-size: small;"><sup>th</sup> to fill the seat of former Senator Dominic Pileggi, who
was elected last year to the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas. The 9<sup>th</sup>
Senatorial Districts includes portions of Delaware and Chester Counties. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 105%;">“Tom Killion’s vast career in both government and the
private sector will make him a great asset in the Pennsylvania Senate,” said PA
Chamber President and CEO Gene Barr. “As the founder of a small business,
he understands the burdens excessive government regulations and mandates place
on job creators. Throughout his career in public service, Tom has built a
strong record of supporting pro-growth policies that will improve the
Commonwealth’s competitive edge and economic climate.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 105%;">“Tom Killion owns a small business, served on our
Board and has a voting record of supporting job-creating legislation and
policies,” said Guy Ciarrocchi, President & CEO of CCCBI, who noted that
the CCCBI Board of Directors voted unanimously to endorse Killion. “He is the
only candidate running who has experience managing a business and creating
jobs, as well as a record of business friendly policies that we champion here
at the Chamber. We know Tom; we trust Tom.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 105%;">“Tom Killion knows the challenges facing job creators
because he has started two small businesses in the area,” said Trish McFarland,
President of the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce. “Killion knows what
it takes to strengthen our local economy and as a member of County Council, he
played a key role in attracting international companies like SAP – now one of the
largest employers in Delaware County – to our region. For the past three
years, Tom Killion has worked closely with state agencies to help save area
refineries and hundreds of local jobs. With such a strong record on economic
development, we are proud to support Tom Killion for the Pennsylvania Senate.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 105%;">“I believe strongly that
the key to well-paying, family supporting jobs is a strong, robust economy
where businesses are able to grow and expand,” said Killion. “In order to
create more jobs for local residents, we need to create an economic environment
where small and medium size businesses can thrive. I have always had a

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 105%;">Killion has a strong
record on business and economic development issues in the legislature. He
has been a vocal opponent of the Governor’s proposal to increase and expand the
state sales tax, which would make it more difficult for local retailers and
other businesses to compete with businesses across the state border in
Delaware, where there is no sales tax. He has also introduced legislation
to create a waterfront development tax credit that would help to spur new
investment and economic development. <span style="color: black;">Killion
has also supported the phase out of the capital stock and franchise tax and
reform of the state’s capital net income tax which is one of the highest in the
nation. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 105%;">“Government should be
more mindful of the impact legislation and government regulations will have on
businesses and employers,” said Killion. “It cannot act in a
vacuum. Often, government policies can have a profound impact on local
businesses by driving up costs and impacting their ability to grow and hire new
workers. This is why we need to continue efforts to reduce the overall business
tax burden in Pennsylvania, which makes it more difficult for our state to
competitively attract new businesses and new jobs.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">[Springfield,
PA]—On Tuesday, March 15<sup>th</sup> Delaware County Chamber of Commerce was
proud to team up with <a href="https://chesterdelco.score.org/" target="_blank">SCORE of Delaware and Chester Counties</a>, and Villanova
Ideas Accelerator to network and promote <a href="http://www.villanovaice.com/" target="_blank">Villanova’s Innovation, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship (ICE) Institute</a>. The event was an opportunity for attendees
to learn about the free resources provided by the ICE Institute, and how these
resources could help grow and manage their businesses. ICE Institute’s
Assistant Director, Eamon Gallagher said, “It was a great event last night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are excited to have that kind of energy in
the Idea Accelerator and I hope this will be the start of many great events to
come with the Delaware County Chamber, SCORE and the local business community.”</span><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; letter-spacing: 0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; letter-spacing: 0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">The night also allowed SCORE to
present and discuss their own business related workshops, throughout the
county, available at little or no cost. Attendees learned, while working with
SCORE, they would be working with a power team of business mentors available to
them on an as needed basis. SCORE’s past Chairman, Gerald Francis explained, “From
my perspective, I heard many people express what they learned last night and
how they can use the various organizations to assist and grow their businesses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was the objective of the program, and I
believe we met expectations.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><u>Delaware County Continues to Represent Strong Economic
Development <o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Earlier this week, Delaware County Council <a href="http://www.delconewsnetwork.com/articles/2016/01/10/media_town_talk/news/doc569202db48d94446077387.txt?viewmode=fullstory">announced</a>
that the county has maintained an excellent credit rating as a role-model of a
financially successful and growing county. Two national agencies, Moody’s
Investors Services and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, extended
Delaware County’s high-grade credit rating, which benefits all Delaware County
residents and taxpayers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ratings agencies highlighted economic projects, like
pipeline infrastructure and energy investments, as large contributing factors
in the rating. One of the reports, conducted by S&P, specifically credits
Monroe Energy and Sunoco Logistics Partners for “boosting the county’s presence
in the U.S. shale and gas industries” through the revitalization of the Marcus
Hook Industrial Complex.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The energy boom that Pennsylvania is experiencing provides
our communities and state with many opportunities and, if embraced, countless
direct and indirect benefits. The development and production of energy
resources has provided a large economic boost through increased jobs, increased
business at local restaurants, stores, and hotels, and as a result, increased
revenues for local communities for school, road, and other infrastructure
construction and revitalization projects. In order to transport these resources
from the Marcellus Shale of western Pennsylvania to production and market delivery
facilities, like Marcus Hook here in the southeast, pipeline infrastructure
investments are needed to take full advantage of the opportunities the energy
boom provides us. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Delaware County and its residents will be large
beneficiaries from these projects, which this report further highlights.<o:p></o:p></div>
