The Daily Numbers - Feb. 19
The Daily Numbers: 1,200 people who showed up at Springfield Country Club yesterday for a job fair.
221,000 dollars in state liquid fuel funding that was misappropriated in Ridley Park. The borough now has to reimburse the state and will not get any more funding until it’s paid.
100,000 dollars being forfeited by Nicholas “Nicky the Hat” Cimino in the gambling operation dubbed by investigators “Delco Nostra.” He pleaded guilty yesterday and was sentenced to 11.5 to 23 months in jail.
17 to 34 years in prison for an Upper Darby man who entered a plea in two murders.
11 million dollars in grants given the green light yesterday by the Delaware River Port Authority. All this despite the protest of business leaders and pols who say they should not be doling out the money in that fashion.
2 Philly schools that will be closed as part of recommendations from the School Reform Commission.
624,000 dollars in police overtime, the latest challenge facing the city of Coatesville, in the wake of a wave of arson fires. They’re also looking at $41,000 in firefighter overtime.
4 years to the day that Richard Petrone and Danielle Imbo walked out of a Philly nightspot and disappeared. They have not been seen since.
50,000 dollar reward posted for new information in the couple’s disappearance.
1 of 2 Chester County men guilty in a brutal assault on an employee of Geno’s Steaks in South Philly. The 2nd defendant was acquitted of all charges.
40 percent increase in annual slot machine revenue being predicted by state officials as 4 more casinos are due to open their doors.
2 stabbings reported in 2 different Philly nightclubs overnight. One happened in the parking lot of Club Fusion, the other was at a lounge in the 100 block of Chestnut Street.
12 people injured when a SEPTA bus and SUV collided early this morning in the West Oak Lane section of Philly.
7 million spent on lawyers by SEPTA.
125 million dollar jackpot up for grabs Saturday night in the Powerball lottery drawing.
3 finalists picked last night in “American Idol.”
2 straight losses for the Sixers, who fell to the Nuggets last night.
10 point halftime lead for the Sixers, which they blew in the second half and lost by 12, a 22-point swing.
