Stephanie Mountcastle Claiborne runs a travel agency from her Southwest Philly home. At least 12 customers have sued her, alleging she scammed them. But she has not been charged with a crime and remains in business. Plaintiffs who have won judgments against here are still waiting for their money. Mensah Dean looks at how difficult it can be for the average person to get relief in such situations.

Some portion of Pennsylvania's 8.4 million registered voters will cast a ballot in Tuesday's general election. How many of those registrations are held by immigrants in this country legally but ineligible to vote because they are not U.S. citizens? The Pennsylvania Department of State either does not know or will not say.

Recap: Opinions and hot takes on the future of the Frank Rizzo statue, including a look back at the debate and how we got here, as well as comments from the sculptor, who's not happy.

Republicans spent an entire summer trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act. When that failed, President Trump tried to dismantle parts of the law himself with executive orders. The Children's Health Insurance Program still isn't funded for next year. And yet, the ACA is still the law of the land — and the enrollment period to sign up for it started this week. Aubrey Whelan shadowed health navigators at the Free Library last week as they helped people get ACA insurance — and asks how they convince people to sign up for a program that may not be around much longer.

The state Department of Environmental Protection confirms that its own testing, prompted by an Inquirer/Daily News investigation, found unacceptable levels of lead spread over the footprint of a former lead smelter.

Delaware County never has been called a paragon of governmental competence. One thing it doesn't have is a health department, unlike its neighbors. New Jersey's 21 counties all have health departments and every municipality is required to have them. One consequence for Delaware County is that the county misses out on federal health funding. Residents voted down the creation of a health department in the '60s. Democrats are making an issue of this in hopes of breaking a perpetual jinx in winning county elections.

Oops. About 29 years ago Philadelphia repainted one of its most famous statues the wrong color. The LOVE statue, currently getting spruced up while the park undergoes renovations, was coated in red, green and a baby-blue. Turns out, Robert Indiana painted it red, green and purple back in 1976. "We think maybe the color had faded so it looked blue?" said Margot Berg, public art director. We try to track down anything more on how this happened and why Indiana, who visited the city in 1995, didn't say anything. Or did he?

Winery dogs that welcome and hang out with guests are becoming almost as ubiquitous as vines at wineries these days. And as form may be following function, the trend is becoming so de rigueur that it's showing up in everything from the name of a band out of New York City, a series of new coffee-table books featuring stunning photos of wineries and their dogs in California, Oregon and New York state, to the Working Dog Winery in Robbinsville, N.J.  And in South Jersey, as the wine industry continues to burgeon, wineries with dogs are becoming quite common, not only inviting you to stop by and meet their Fido but also to BYOP (bring your own to pet)  to their dog friendly tasting rooms and events.

If this story doesn't get you to use those antibacterial wipes at grocery store entrances, nothing will. The California-based ReuseThisBag.com decided to celebrate its 10th anniversary of making "green" grocery bags, by running around to four different types of grocery stores swabbing for bacteria. It's an odd choice considering most companies would have just popped for bagels and coffee but, whatever.

Airbnb room rentals are growing in Philadelphia, with 3,000 listings available on any day in the metro area, up from 700 at the end of 2014 for private rooms, apartments, or homes. The listings account for 14 percent of the downtown hotel supply. Hotel rooms are in greater supply, too.

Donald Cairns from Parkesburg, named 2017 Farmer of the Year by the Chester County Agricultural Development Council, is committed to preserving his owned and leased 1,650 acres of wheat, corn and soy while helping two dozen local families preserve their farms.

After Trump's victory one year ago, Democrats promised things were going to be different. Instead, writes Will Bunch, it is the same never-ending feuds, weak candidates and stale ideas.

A seismic shift is on the verge of taking place in this country, writes Daisy Cruz, the Mid-Atlantic district leader for 32BJ SEIU, the largest property services union. Temporary Protected Status (TPS) will expire next week for people who fled war-torn and environmental distressed countries such as Honduras, Nicaragua and in the coming weeks, Haiti and El Salvador.
