2010 that’s when many people believe Pat Meehan, who resigned his post as U.S. Attorney yesterday, will run for governor of Pa.
2 year contract extension for teachers in Ridley Township under an extension of their current deal. Teachers are in line for raises of at least 2.75 percent.
450 teachers covered by the new deal in Ridley, where a teacher with 15 years experience earns $70,875. Starting salary is $39,100.
82 million dollars in new funding for Pa. schools under the budget plan being signed today in Upper Darby by Gov. Ed Rendell.

4.15 a gallon, price for gasoline, which holds steady for another day.
10 hits surrendered by Phils starter Adam Eaton last night in dooming the Phils to a loss, despite a stirring rally.
10 to 9, the final margin of the Mets’ win. At one time the Phils were down 8-0.
5.20 Eaton’s less than sterling ERA, after surrendering eight runs, six of them earned, in less than three innings of work.
