Friday's DN: The new PA Attorney General picks her leadership team

POSTED: Friday, January 11, 2013, 9:59 AM

In Friday's Clout column: New state Attorney General Kathleen Kane picks her leadership team, including someone she dated in law school who went on to be a top aide to Gov. Rendell.  Also, state Rep. Dwight Evans is considering a third run for mayor.  And an email scam makes it look like Republican City Committee chairman Vito Canuso is pleading for financial help from a rival GOP group.

Did you know taxpayers are on the hook for millions in borrowed money for the DisneyQuest development that never happened at 8th and Market streets in Center City?  We take a closer look at the push for a casino on that site.

A woman who beat a crossing guard after nearly hitting school children with her car is likely to get probation when sentenced Friday because crossing guards are not a protected class of public servants like police officers and firefighters.
