Easter Bunny carnage over . . .

Coming down from a chocolate high? Settle in with these fine political stories:

Dan Malloy looks at two Western Pa congressmen coming home in the wake of the House budget proposal. (Politico does same on other side of state with freshman Lou Barletta.)

Jim O'Toole looks at Chuck McCullough's county exec chances.

Owe back taxes and are over 65? No problem. Ed Kress, McCullough's replacement in the GOP at-large seat on county council, has a bill that would take homes owned by seniors out of the sheriff's sale process.

Here's my story on a 4-way DJ race in the East End, starring council president emeritus Doug Shields.
