Amish communities in Ohio and Pennsylvania are adopting electric bicycles (e-bikes) as a mode of transportation, despite the traditional association of the Amish with horse-drawn carriages.
It has been a year since a law requiring flashing electric lights to be installed on Amish buggies.
The law was supposedly enacted on fears of buggy crashes, but some Amish communites have opted not abide by its and has led at least one Amish scholar to "wonder what really underlies this law.”
A bill introduced by State Rep. Beth Lear (R-Galena) would ban transgender students from using bathrooms and locker rooms aligning with their gender identity in K-12 schools and colleges.
