    Paul Petcavage

    My column was to follow up where I left off last week with “Always Question Science, Medicine, and Government.” It was to cover the complete fleecing of America by the long-serving elected in Washington.

    The Williamsport Millionaires hosted the mighty Harrisburg Cougars this past Tuesday.
