Aftermath of bus incident
Columbia Borough Police Officers Austin Miller and Bryan Keyser talk to a woman who had been asked to leave an RRTA bus near Fourth and Chestnut at about 3:50 p.m. on February 9, 2015. It appeared as though Officer Miller escorted her from the bus. Apparently, the woman was upset about having had to wait a long time for the bus to pick her up at Ninth and Locust. (It's difficult to hear the conversation due to traffic noise; I was standing on the other side of the highway.)

Out for a Sunday drive
An Amish buggy with five passengers drove through Columbia this afternoon, along Route 441, and continued up through Chiques.
Enjoy watching the workers - you're paying for them
Construction workers were on the job at the Columbia Water Company today, Sunday. I felt like it was costing me money just to watch them. And of course it was, since I and other water company customers are paying for the construction through the Pennvest surcharge recently added to our water bills to pay off the loan for the project.
The PUC held a hearing on the water company's proposed rate increase about a year and a half ago and ultimately denied the request, but the company sneaked through this de facto increase anyway.
Our only recourse right now is to file complaints with the PUC: 800-692-7380. The more customers who complain, the better the chance of the PUC acting on this.
More information on filing a complaint can obtained by clicking HERE.

Where's the Sunday News?
None of the vending dispensers around town contained any copies of the Sunday News this morning, as of about 10 a.m., although some contained last Thursday's paper. Stover's and the Minit Market on the highway had stacks of the Sunday News. So why not these street corner racks?
(Phone calls to the circulation department yielded no answers, just recordings.)
