Thursday's DN: Feds subpoena DRPA spending details

POSTED: Thursday, April 4, 2013, 8:43 AM

Federal prosecutors want details about how the Delaware River Port Authority in recent years spent money on projects unrelated to its official duties, according to a subpoena obtained by the Daily News.

Mayor Nutter on Wednesday named Tom Knudsen his first chief collections officer and announced other shakeups in top administration posts.

Nutter on Thursday will likely veto Councilman Bill Greenlee's paid sick-leave bill. The question today is whether Greenlee has enough support for the measure to override the veto.

And Helen Ubinas thinks respite care for the homeless should be a goal for the city.
