REYNOLDSVILLE - In May, the Department of Transportation recommended six airports in Pennsylvania lose their Essential Air Service. That list included airports in Cambria, Blair and Jefferson counties.
Monday, the DOT made that decision final. These airports will lose their EAS in 30 days unless they petition for a waiver.
EAS is how the government pays to keep passenger flights going to small airports.
DOT is eliminating EAS at airports because it either did not enplane an average of 10 or more passengers per day and/or the subsidy rate per passenger exceeded $200.
BALTIMORE (TND) — The search for the six people missing after Tuesday morning's Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore is over. It was replaced with a new recovery phase as of 7:30 p.m., the U.S. Coast Guard announced.

There are also concerns about the safety of first responders, considering the amount of bridge structure debris in the water.

CENTRE COUNTY, Pa (WJAC) — A Centre County judge has dismissed a challenge on whether close to 100 mail-in ballots, from last month’s primary election, should be counted as valid votes.
Judge Julia Rater has ruled the appeal not to count the ballots was filed too late.
The group challenging the 95 ballots claimed they weren't valid due to problems with how they were dated, or not dated, and that didn't follow the state's guidelines for mail-in ballots.
