Happy Birthday PoliticsPA

There is a note on PoliticsPA stating that the site launched 5 years ago Monday, on Oct. 23rd, 2001. I discovered it a few months later and, to my delight, was granted an "up arrow" in the spring of 2002 (not one of the pages captured by the Wayback Machine so don't browse through the backfiles linked on the PPA homepage on my account).

Many thanks to the anonymous editor(s), Sy Snyder, for 5 years of political news and scoop. How would we track all those press releases and articles without you?

As an aside, Sy has posted an update on John Stouffer, a long-time political employee in Harrisburg, who is battling a rare illness. The update is currently on the main www.politicspa.com page.
