The Caucus, “Watchdog Journalism Casting Light on Government Waste & Fraud,” Brad Bumstead and Paula Knudsen
Every week The Caucus newspaper delivers hard-hitting investigations, thoughtful interviews, hot political news, campaign updates and a complete rundown on the bills, hearings, fundraisers, protests and events that matter to Pennsylvania politicos.
Brad & Paula will start with presentation on State Legislators and Moonlighting and then free-wheel into the many other types of strange behaviors in Harrisburg.

All those that attended had a wonderful time of fellowship, crabs, ribs, chicken, wine and beer. The weather cooperated as we enjoyed a light breeze while eating, drinking and watching the planes take-off and land.
A huge thank you to Susan Eberly, Wendy Donahue, Liz Martin, Prez Althea and to Dave Eberly for offering the venue! This editor will apologize if I missed anyone, because it was a very good event!
