There\’s an Election Day showdown shaping up in New Jersey where a state lawmaker with a well-known name is going up against a man who\’s very familiar with battles.

New Jersey\’s First Congressional District consists of the major portion of Camden County, a large chunk of Gloucester County, and a tad of Burlington County.
Cobb is the republican nominee. He\’s running as a political reformer and outsider.
\”I don\’t want to be a politician, I want to be a statesman from the standpoint that what is best for the people, not what is best for me,\” Cobb said. read more

GUILTY PLEA IN TROPHY ELK-POACHING CASE
Bellefonte man sentenced to up to 18 months in jail, more than $20,000 in fines and costs.
A Bellefonte man has been sentenced to spend up to 18 months in jail and pay more than $20,000 in fines and costs after pleading guilty Wednesday to poaching three bull elk, one of them among the largest on record in Pennsylvania.

The 10- by 9-point rack at right initially was measured at 432 7/8 inches, based on standards set forth by the Boone & Crockett big-game scoring program. Only two bulls legally harvested in Pennsylvania have scored higher. The rack from the 5-by-7 bull is at left, and the sawed-off antlers from the 4-by-5 can be seen in front of it. Get Image |
Frank Gordo Buchanan Jr., 25, pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts of unlawful taking of big game, and one count each of unlawful taking of game, unlawful use of a vehicle to take game, and unlawful use of an artificial light to take game.
As part of the plea agreement accepted by Magisterial District Judge Jerome M. Nevling, of Kylertown, Buchanan will spend three to 18 months in the Clearfield County Jail and pay $9,550 in fines. Additionally, he is responsible for paying $11,500 in replacement costs for the poached elk, two of which are classified as trophy-class animals.
Two other men charged in the incident waived their rights to preliminary hearings on charges, sending their cases to county court. If they are convicted of unlawful taking of big game, they, too, would be required to contribute to replacement costs.
The charges against Buchanan stem from two nights of poaching in the same area of Karthaus Township, Clearfield County, in September. Buchanan had admitted to shooting all three elk.

Fall season began Nov. 1 in most parts of state; season lengths vary by WMU.
One of Pennsylvania’s most exciting seasons will begin this Saturday as hunters head afield in pursuit of one of fall’s most coveted game animals, the wild turkey. But hunters really need to focus on the varying season starts and lengths throughout the state’s 23 Wildlife Management Units (WMUs). Hunter compliance protects the resource and ensures better turkey hunting in coming years.
While season lengths in most WMUs remain unchanged from last year, the first season segment has been shortened from three weeks to two in WMUs 3A, 3B and 3C – all of which are in northern Pennsylvania – to help those populations rebound from declining trends. And while a three-day season remains intact in WMU 5A, the timing of the season has changed to a Thursday-through-Saturday format to provide greater opportunity for hunters whose schedules do not allow for a weekday hunt.
Hunters who didn’t participate in the fall turkey season last year still might be unaware of season length changes put in place in 2013 in some WMUs, due to an ongoing study to determine how the length of the fall season affects the female turkey harvest.

Super PACs are required to identify their contributors, but some of them are funded entirely or mostly by social welfare nonprofits that don’t have to do so. That leaves voters in the dark about where money is really coming from.
by Theodoric Meyer
ProPublica, Oct. 31, 2014, 2:31 p.m.
In the final weeks before this year\’s elections, a super PAC called Key Questions, Key Answers
started buying TV ads across Pennsylvania attacking Tom Wolf, the Democratic candidate for governor.
\”Don\’t vote for a wolf in sheep\’s clothing,\” the narrator says in one of the ads as a sheep with Wolf\’s face bleats the word \”taxes.\”
