PoliticsPA, FYIbyPLS the place to be on Election Day

We’ve waited 6 long months for the next major election in Pennsylvania. On Tuesday, it finally arrives. And PoliticsPA and PLS will be on top of all the latest twists and turns.

Will Dan Onorato fend off his three gubernatorial foes in the Democratic primary? Will Sam Rohrer pull off an election shocker against Tom Corbett?

And of course, with polls showing him in a dead heat against Joe Sestak, will this be the election that finally topples 30-year incumbent Arlen Specter?

Tune into PoliticsPA’s coverage of the primary all day Tuesday to find out what happens. We’ll give the news, interviews, and analysis you need to know what happened Tuesday and what to expect in November.

In addition, check in right here on FYIbyPLS.com the night of the primary for a live blog covering all of the the races, including state House and Senate contests.

UPDATED — PLS is moving!

After bursting at the seams of 614 North Third Street for too long, we are excited to announce that PLS will soon be moving to new – and larger- digs – several blocks south on the 11th floor of the Payne-Shoemaker building, 240 North Third Street. We plan to move Thanksgiving week, and will be closed during that time, with sporadic email and telephone service until we are settled. We expect to be fully operational again by Monday, November 30.

If you or your business could use any of these items please respond electronically via the ad or call our office at 717.236.6984 and ask for Kim.
