Rep. Thomas Tangretti, D-Greensburg, is bringing 20 years of experience in the state House to the Seton Hill University classroom.

Rep. Tangretti has been teaching the course Pennsylvania State Government at Seton Hill since February. It combines the history of federalism with its current application at the state government level.

Seton Hill President JoAnne Boyle recently named Rep. Tangretti Distinguished Lecturer in Politics at the university.

"We are delighted to have someone teaching state government here who has such a long and outstanding career in the state legislature," said Dr. John Spurlock, Seton Hill professor of history and chair of the Humanities Division.

Penn Township is getting a Host Municipal Inspector Grant through the state Department of Environmental Protection.

The $1,727 grant, announced by state Rep. John Pallone, D-New Kensington, will be used to reimburse the township 50 percent of the cost of employing a host municipal inspector.

A municipality that hosts a municipal waste landfill or resource recovery facility may hire its own inspector to accompany DEP inspectors when they check whether state environmental laws and regulations are being followed.

Rep. Pallone said: "Penn Township's host municipal inspector serves as an extra pair of eyes to not only ensure environmental laws are being followed, but can also request a DEP inspection if he thinks there is a problem."
