The election is getting closer, which means it's time for some voter intimidation! "An anonymous flier circulating in African-American neighborhoods in North and West Philadelphia states that voters who are facing outstanding arrest warrants or who have unpaid traffic tickets may be arrested at the polls on Election Day." This is false.
The Inquirer has some more details on how the FBI got involved in the case of Larry Mendte allegedly reading Alycia Lane's email.
A man has been arrested in connection with the attack on a woman in a City Avenue motel room last week, and it's 19-year-old Joseph Vignola Jr., whom local television stations are reporting is the son of Joseph C. Vignola, a former city councilman and controller and well-known city political figure.
Remember how Rick's Steaks was fighting to stay in the Reading Terminal Market? Well, the fight continues. A recent court ruling dismissed most of Olivieri's claims against Reading Terminal, but Olivieri's lawyer says they're still confident things will go Rick's way at the trial this summer.
Embattled PA Gaming Control Board Chairman Tad Decker is stepping down, possibly to return to his former law firm, which represents one of the would-be casinos. Insert snide remark about lawyers' ethics here.
There were two car crashes last night involving police vehicles. A teenage girl accompanied by a 5-year-old stole a patrol car at around 5:40PM while the officer was interviewing a complainant on the 1200 block of Gilham Street. She dropped the child off with a relative before crashing the car around 20 minutes later, and then sat tight to wait for the police. She'll be charged with car theft. Meanwhile, at around 8PM a police wagon and another automobile collided at 50th and Westminster Ave., injuring four people, including two police officers. It's not clear yet who was at fault.
The PA budget got held up a bit yesterday by some further discussion, especially about the Senate plan to fund hazardous-sites cleanup by taking $40 million from a land preservation fund. Lawmakers have made the wise decision to not decide on the most contentious bits until later, so the budget did indeed get through both Houses yesterday and will be signed by Rendell later today... hopefully, anyway.
U. Penn's Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital may have been the first to give a snake high-energy radiation therapy yesterday when they treated a 61/2-foot anaconda's tumor. The snake, btw, is Sir Mix-A-Lot from Wilmington's Brandywine Zoo.
