It wasn’t just foisted upon transit agencies though.

Because private companies were given the option to comply with the ADA.

Yes, the HOA might have their own restrictions, but they are the type of zoning (RMX2 and 3) that the city allows visitor accommodations by right.

Ironically, those are the properties that can get a hotel license under the city’s regulations.

To get a hotel license the property needs to be zoned for limited lodging visitor accommodation. It requires a variance for most properties in the city.
Basically needs to be RMX-2 or 3 or CMX-3 or CMX-4 for by right zoning use.

It’s pretty much banned unless you get a zoning variance. So…banned.

He was appointed to the US Senate to fill a vacancy in 1991 and then had to run again in November 1991. That was the last time there was a Senate vacancy in PA where a special election had to occur.

And it’s for Bob Casey’s seat, not Fetterman’s. It’s completely irrelevant to the special election. The last time there was a vacancy in a PA Senate seat, there was an election in 1991, and odd year that wasn’t scheduled for a senate election (obviously).

There would be an odd year special election. Democrats don’t turn out for that.

Every time you have sales transaction you are processing cash.
Every shift you are counting the till and some of it is walking out the door unless you have an integrated ordering, payment and ticket system.
The amount of money (labor, added friction) businesses spend to avoid the receipts tax is higher than the actual tax.
