CAMBRIA COUNTY COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
With the retirement of two longtime judges, there will be two new men at the helm ruling on child custody cases, criminal cases, and other important facets of day-to-day life in Cambria County.
WASHINGTON (TND) — As Memorial Day and the busy summer travel season approach, drivers are preparing for higher gas prices.
According to AAA, the national average gas price is about $3.61 per gallon. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects this average to sit around $3.70 from April through September, similar to the same period last year. This anticipated increase is due to higher demand and the Environmental Protection Agency's requirement for refineries to switch to their summer blend of fuel, which is more expensive to produce.
