Last week, Gov. Josh Shapiro announced he will propose a three-year tax incentive of up to $2,500 a year for newly certified teachers, nurses and police officers in his upcoming Budget Address.

The PNC Foundation announced this week that it will be awarding HACC, Central Pennsylvania’s Community College, $112,500 in grant funding over the next three years to train and recruit low- to moderate-income Black students for roles as police officers and emergency medical technicians (EMTs). 

Harrisburg-based media outlet WITF has hired Harrisburg’s director of community relations and engagement, Blake Lynch, to be its senior vice president and chief impact officer.

A bill introduced in the state Senate would remove zero tolerance DUI penalties for Pennsylvania medical cannabis license holders and require proof the driver was impaired while driving.

A love for the Harrisburg community drew Blake Lynch to a career with the Harrisburg Bureau of Police. His work with local nonprofits has let him utilize those relationships to benefit both his career and the organizations he helps.
