Dawn Bressler and Melissa George from Jefferson County Children and Youth Services talk about the upcoming pajama donation drive. You can drop them off at their location in Brookville. Due to state regulations, all donated pajamas must be new.

We also talk about the importance of new foster parents who are willing to open their home to a child, even if that child may even stay for a week or two.

Some senators are sponsoring legislation that would end Pennsylvania’s prohibition of cannabis and could ultimately legalize its use for adults.

Key points on the bill:

Establishes a tiered system of licenses for growers with lower barriers to entry in order to allow those with more limited resources to enter the cannabis industry as entrepreneurs.

Provides for automatic expungement of previous criminal convictions of cannabis-related offenses, including possession, and delivery of less than an ounce, as well as commutations of sentences resulting from such convictions.

The majority of tax revenue will be used for public education, with individual school districts choosing what portion of revenue to dedicate to the new funding formula, and what portion to property tax relief.

Consumption of cannabis will be permitted only by adults over 21 years of age.

Home delivery of cannabis will be permitted.

Individuals will be permitted to grow up to six plants for personal consumption, but may not sell those plants.

Senate Bill 350 has just been proposed and would still have to be voted on and pass through both the Senate and the House of Representatives before it would ever hit the governor’s desk.

Thinking of trading up to a new phone or laptop? Make sure you wipe your old device before selling it, throwing it out, or recycling it.

The research group Rapid 7 bought more than 80 devices at some second-hand tech stores and found the vast majority of times, the previous owner’s info is still on there.

Most devices had emails still stored, which would have allowed a scam artist to access many other accounts and programs.

Some devices even had addresses, social security numbers, or scans of driver's licenses!

Clearing person data is the user’s responsibility. If you want it done right, sometimes you have to do it yourself. A quick internet search should be able to show you how to clear your specific device, or you can ask a tech-saavy friend.
