- According to an NBC10 report, Philadelphia’s litter problem could ultimately impact the quality of the city’s drinking water with trash being washed into local streams and rivers.
- On Wednesday, federal officials will begin investigating a series of thefts involving Philadelphia mailboxes. For nearly a year, thieves have stolen mailed checks—redirecting them towards their own bank accounts and costing local residents tens-of-thousands of dollars.
- A Pennsylvania woman was killed by a shark while snorkeling in the Bahamas.
- Governor Tom Wolf signed an executive order to expand voter registration access throughout Pennsylvania.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Senator Pat Toomey appeared at a joint press-conference with Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz where the two criticized John Fetterman for his refusal to debate. Interestingly, Fetterman’s hometown paper—the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette—recently published an editorial expressing concern about the former mayor’s health following a stroke he suffered in May. The editorial stated, “[i]f Mr. Fetterman is not well enough to debate his opponent, that raises serious concerns about his ability to serve as a United States senator.”
- In a speech he gave in Pittsburgh, PA on Labor Day, Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate John Fetterman struggled to express his thoughts—leading to more speculation from Republicans that he may not be healthy enough to serve in the Senate if he wins his election in November.
