Governor Gashole has been limiting his public appearances to gas industry summits, ticketed events by chambers of commerce, and school voucher supporter conventions.

He actually is coming out of his bubble to speak at Albright College's graduation on Sunday in Reading. Protests are planned. See the link.

Excerpt:

"Among the groups planning to protest outside the stadium on North 13th Street are Berks Gas Truth, a group that opposes drilling in the Marcellus shale; and the Coalition for Labor Engagement and Accountable Revenues (CLEAR for PA), a group concerned about public workers losing their jobs.

Students and faculty from other colleges and universities in Berks also might protest.

Albright students and faculty have been talking about some sort of silent protest inside the stadium during the ceremony."
