>The Coolio song “I Remember” has the line “runnin through the streets of Monessen PA.” He wasn’t from here, but someone in his band was.

He was actually born in Monessen. It seems he claimed he was born in LA at times and some sources ran with it.

>If he was being pushed to run just to secure a seat and not because of any personal ambition or sense of service, wouldn’t he have already retired and allowed the governor to choose a replacement?

No that would be an absolute disaster. The governor doesn't choose a replacement for the next 6 years. They just select a replacement until a special election this November. It would give the GOP a do-over with a better candidate against what would likely be Lamb who already lost the primary.

With Sinema leaving the Democratic party that means the Democrats could theoretically lose control of the Senate (should Sinema change who she caucuses with) in a year that wouldn't normally be possible. That would be mayhem for Biden's reelection campaign and absolute chaos if a liberal Supreme Court Justice died or retired next year.

In terms of lowest building cost but in today’s world with $2B stadiums they can easily afford enough extra urinals to make up for the few lost spots.

Also they’re terrible for the environment because they have to run water constantly instead of only when in use.

They’re most likely going away in the next renovation plan too.

Taxes are based off the assessment which is based off sales price so what others are paying in your neighborhood doesn’t really work against you.

By abusing the homestead exemption they’re taking money away from the local government which funds resources you might use like firemen, roads, etc.

And good luck with all the extra time for parts and labor due to short staff even when you do get in.

We hit one a week before Christmas last year. Nearly totaled it even though it was only body damage and it wasn’t legally drivable. Didn’t get the car back for over 6 weeks and that’s only because we were able to get in early due to a cancellation. The car insurance only covered a rental car for 30 days so I had to drive my wife to work for a couple weeks.
