Tuesday -- Is Dad Vail Debate Over?

The city wants the Dad Vail Regatta to reconsider their plans to leave -- or they may hold their own rowing event here instead.

Vice President Joe Biden speaks highly of the economic recovery efforts at the Committee of Seventy annual fundraiser.

Was the off-duty cop who shot a man in Port Richmond Saturday trying to keep the peace? Or was he gun crazy?

Convicted cop-killer John Lewis could learn his fate today.

    The City is nuts if they think they can pull off another regatta at thetime the Dad Vail is going off. The elite teams want to race one another. Another example of small thinking. if $$ was the issue, why not hit up Comcast and other large corporate citizens to help with funding? Comcast could have obtian broadcast rights for Versus.
