We plan to move Thanksgiving week, and will be closed during that time, with sporadic email and telephone service until we are settled. We expect to be fully operational again by Monday, November 30. As part of the move we are selling several pieces of office furniture and other office supplies. Their Craigslist ads are posted below. All prices are negotiable. If you or your business could use any of these items please respond electronically via the ad or call our office at 717.236.6984 and ask for Kim.

At the end of nearly every blog post on FYI by PLS, you’ve probably noticed the addendum, “Check the Capitol Toolbox later for the full story.” Well for those of you who aren’t PLS subscribers, the full story is something you may not even know you’re missing. Therefore, once a week from now on, we will be posting a full PLS story to the blog, so non-subscribers can see precisely the quality and comprehensive reporting our subscribers have come to rely on. It’s free, premium content, and we’re calling it “Freemium.” So when you see the following banner, you’ll know you’re reading something normally exclusive only to subscribers. And if you’d like to sign up for a free month-long trial, a link will be available beneath each Freemium story.
