506 million bucks that is sitting in the state’s property tax relief fund, the result of some of the moolah raked in by the state’s new slots casinos. The bottom line? Pennsylvanians should finally be getting for tax relief next year.

1 stray bullet that struck and killed a store employee as he stood inside a North Philadelphia food market Thursday night.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.
How sad is it that they are playing a football game Sunday and nobody cares. Remember when the Cowboys used to mean a week of passion that rivals anything in Philly sports?

I Don’t Get It: Seems like Clifton Heights is not the only place dealing with racial intolerance. A home rented to a black family in Philadelphia’s Port Richmond section was the target of racial vandals. I don’t’ get it.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to the pair of SEPTA trolley operators being credited with saving the life of a man who was stricken at 69th Street.
