So much breaking news, not enough duct tape

There has been two rather big news "items" crossing my desk in the past 24 hours.

WILKINSON QUITS HAMBURG COUNCIL
Hamburg Borough Council President is resigning. I am currently tracking down reaction to the news. She sent an email to her colleagues on council Tuesday night, informing them of her desire to pursue a doctorate.
I will be posting more information on this story in the coming hours and days as more reaction filters into the office.

PIZZA SHOP DINER SHOT IN ATTEMPTED ROBBERY
While the Wilkinson story was being confirmed last night, another breaking story occurred in Tulpehocken Township, proving just how gigantic The Item's coverage area is. From Pottsville, through a ridiculous rain/fog event, I made my way to Mancino's Pizza, right along Route 501, north of Myerstown.
It was a busy day for State Police on Route 501 yesterday as a traffic accident claimed the life of a Pine Grove (Schuylkill County) councilman earlier in the day. I was able to put this video together of the incident.

I just wanted to let you know that I think you are doing a great job. I have been enjoying all the Issues of the Item.
