These papers are now all similar to USA Today and articles of state or national interest like this one run in all of them.
There was also a story about how Oz bought a 3.1M farmstead in Dec 2021, applied for and received a 50k farmstead exemption. A huge misstep as I'm sure Fetterman's campaign will delightfully point it out to struggling farmers in those rural areas.
