Last week, Shareholder Megan Harmon had the honor of awarding three deserving students from Woodland Hills High School with a Mitchell P. Harmon Memorial scholarship totaling $22,500 to help them continue their education at the schools of their choice.

What makes this scholarship especially meaningful is the story behind it. Founded in memory of Megan's brother, Mitchell “Mitch” Harmon, a 1979 Woodland Hills graduate who passed away from lymphoma in 1988, the Foundation was created by family and friends to honor his legacy through education and opportunity. Since its founding, the scholarship program has awarded more than $200,000 to local students and continues to make a lasting difference in the community.

Congratulations to this year's recipients.

A major decision from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court could reshape how municipalities fund stormwater management across the Commonwealth.

In Borough of West Chester v. Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, the Court held that a municipal stormwater charge was a tax — not a fee — meaning tax-exempt entities may be immune from payment obligations.

The ruling raises significant questions for municipalities, authorities, developers, universities, and property owners alike.

Crypto regulation may finally be taking shape — but the framework is far from finished.

In this latest blog, SMGG attorneys Filip Rams and Michael Nicolella break down where Congress stands on digital asset legislation, what the proposed regulatory structure could mean for the industry, and why the next phase of rulemaking will be just as critical as the laws themselves.

A must-read for anyone following the evolving intersection of crypto, compliance, and federal oversight.

A beautiful day in Highland Park for a meaningful cause!

SMGG was proud to participate in and support the 2026 PNC Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy Spring Hat Luncheon. This beloved annual tradition brings the community together in celebration of Pittsburgh’s parks.

Proceeds from the luncheon help fund essential initiatives, including park care, garden restoration, environmental education, and free community programming. This year, support will also extend to exciting restoration efforts in spaces like Mellon Park, Flagstaff Hill, and McKinley Park.

A special shoutout to Jean Novack for her involvement on the event committee!
