ELIZABETHTOWN | County agencies are wondering aloud how patients and clients can be transported following a sting that took down Medicaid-funded taxi agencies last month. “We have no clue if the new drivers the state has put in place are any different than the old drivers,” said Department of Social Services Director Mike Mascarenas. “It would be great if our drivers were preferred, but the state treats our drivers just like any other taxi service.” » Taxi Cont. on pg. 9

Attendance can swell up to 600 people depending on the weather, and organizers expect to go through about 100 pounds of pulled pork this year, among other goodies. And of course, there’s the t-shirts. For 10 years, Speedy Arnold has been designing commemorate garb for the event, which is always on Father’s Day in a nod to a Dad-like love for all-things motorcycles and cars. The debut tee in 1999 depicted two pigs approaching each other. “Where are you going?” said the one driving a motorcycle. “Follow me to the Pig ‘N’ Swig!” said the other, who was behind the wheel of a classic roadster. The following year saw the two bonding over foamy mugs of suds. » Pig-N-Swig Cont. on pg. 13
