Welcome back to normal.
Yes, the holidays are in the rear-view mirror.
So is all that decidedly non-winter like weather.
It's cold out there this morning. It marked the first morning I actually broke down and donned a winter coat.
The start of a new year brings with it new faces in politics.
Towns and governments all across Delaware County will swear in new officials today.
In Chester, Democrats will continue to wield power, but there is a new man at the helm. New Mayor Thaddeus Kirkland will officially take the reins of power from John Linder. Kirkland last week indicated he will hold down two jobs - at least until the state budget is resolved. The longtime state rep in the 159th District rescinded his resignation to make sure his constituents - and the Chester Upland School District - has their voice heard in the ongoing budget standoff.
In Media, some familiar faces will continue to lead Delaware County government. County Council members Colleen Morrone, John McBlain and Michael Culp, along with District Attorney Jack Whelan, all will take the oath of office for another term.
There will be some new faces, however.
Three newly elected judges will be sworn in to seats on the Court of Common Pleas. Sen. Dominic Pileggi, Anthony Scanlon and Margaret J. Amoroso all will be joining the county bench. Judges James Bradley and James Nilon Jr. will be sworn in for another term.
In Philadelphia, Michael Nutter is out, and Jim Kenney is in.
We'll bring you the details.
We have only one question: How many days until pitchers and catchers report? And the first day of spring?
