Includes link to a video which summarizes the case.  Inconveniently, Harrisburg, PA is highlighted as a success for LVT.  It is, but other problems have overwhelmed it in recent months.

(And in the process of locating the video link, I found a couple about Walt’s late brother and fellow geoist, “Dental Farmer” Art Rybeck.)
