It was a great weekend as the Pennsylvania College of Technology (PCT) welcomed off-road racing competitors and fans for the Baja SAE Williamsport international competition. 102 collegiate engineering teams from across the U.S., Canada, and Brazil competed in the four-day event, which concluded Sunday afternoon. Penn College finished fourth in the endurance race, with Virginia Tech capturing first place out of the 89 teams that started the race. Penn College was one of just four teams to complete 50-plus laps in the final test. It’s the 15th top-10 finish for the team in the endurance race since 2011. In overall standings, Penn College came in 10th. Read more about the competition and weekend’s events HERE. North Shore Railroad Salute to Service

Senate Approves Bill to Boost PA Youth Hunting and Fishing
The Senate unanimously approved legislation to create a new license plate for Pennsylvania sportsmen with proceeds used to fund youth hunting and fishing education. The Pennsylvania Sportsman registration plate would celebrate those who hunt and fish. Under Senate Bill 916, the plate would be designed by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, in consultation with the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. The Pennsylvania Sportsman plate would cost $40 plus the registration fee, of which $14 would be deposited into a Youth Hunting and Fishing Restricted Account to be allocated equally to the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission for the purpose of promoting youth hunting and fishing activities. Stopping Major Mobile Device Carriers from Misleading Consumers
Pennsylvania reached a $10.25 million settlement with several major mobile device service carriers regarding deceptive advertising practices, including supposed “unlimited” data plans and “free” phones. The settlement with AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Cricket and T-Mobile requires the carriers to disclose all attached fees and agreements, train customer service staff accordingly, and be truthful in future advertising. The terms of the settlements address misrepresentations in advertisements concerning “unlimited” data advertisements, “free” phone offers, monetary incentives to switch wireless networks and wireless carrier plan comparisons. They will be able to claim that a consumer will save money by purchasing its products or services only when it’s reasonable based on comparisons with the process of comparable goods and services of other providers.
