03/11/08 - Shopping Cart Ordinance to be 'Tweaked'
Grocery store managers agree that there's a problem with abandoned shopping carts in the city, but they also think more work has to be done an a proposed city ordinance aimed at curbing the problem. Mayor Tom Riel says the purpose of the ordinance is to make people more responsible and help to clean up the city. Businessman Fred Pysher says the right people -- those who steal the carts -- need to be held responsible. The ordinance passed 3 to 2 on first reading during Tuesday's City Council meeting, but council members and store owners will meet to tweak the ordinance before it's brought up on second reading April 8.

During his announcement late this morning, Spitzer said “I cannot allow for my private failings to disrupt the people’s work."

03/12/08 - Rendell Reacts to Spitzer Scandal
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell says he's shocked at the allegations against New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer. Rendell told the Radio Pennsylvania Network that if anyone had told him that a governor would get caught up in a call-girl scandal, Spitzer would have been his "50th pick out of 50 governors." Rendell says "you never know what lurks in a person's personal life." But He also calls Spitzer one of the most talented public servants he knows. He asks the public to wait till all the facts are known before rushing to judgment.
