The Daily Numbers - Dec. 18
The Daily Numbers: 1 woman and 1 African-American to ever lead the Chester GOP. That would be Marrea Walker-Smith. Kudos to her.
24 pot plants found by police in the home of a Morton man.
0 tax hike on tap in Darby Borough, which is set to give final approval to its budget plan this morning.
0, also no tax hike included in Chester’s budget.
10 percent reduction in taxes in Yeadon, which is cutting its property tax while enacting an earned income tax.
0 tax hike in the Chester County budget that was approved by commissioners there yesterday. In the meantime, Delco home owners are staring at a 7.4 percent hike.
3-6 inches of snow, that’s the call for tomorrow. Of course, there’s always the chance it could be more, could be less.
3 Delco priests who have garnered honors from the archdiocese.
1,000 state employees who will be laid off if the Legislature does not give the OK to table games by Jan. 8. That’s the threat from Gov. Ed Rendell.
250 million dollar Parx Casino that opened its doors this morning at Philly Park in Bensalem.
3 hours, how long the Blue Route was shut down in both directions after a truck fire yesterday morning.
150 parking spots available starting today at the new cell phone waiting lot at Philadelphia International Airport, which opens today. It cost $500,000 to construct.
8.5 percent unemployment rate in Pa. in November. That’s a drop of .4 percent.
2.5 to 5 years in prison for another teen convicted in the beating death of Delco native Sean Conroy in a SEPTA subway concourse.
200,000 dollar winning Powerball ticket sold at a Turkey Hill in Downingtown, Chester County.
12 losses in their last 15 games for the Flyers, who fell to the Pens last night in a shootout.
14.4 points a game, what Allen Iverson is average since his return to the Sixers. He’ll miss tonight’s game at Boston with a cranky knee.
13-1, record for Villanova football this year. They lay it on the line for the FCS national title tonight vs. Montana. The Grizzlies are 14-0.
