Board Hears Act 72 Impact

If you haven’t heard about the Homeowner Tax Relief Act,
otherwise called Act 72, you need to quickly do a fast study.
The New Kensington-Arnold School District held a public
hearing on Act 72 this week and the Board of Education

with one exception, your team was better than any other team
in your class." Read the whole story with over 13 photos.

Google has released a new Google Maps service via its Google
