4.4 percent tax hike in Lower Merion School District that a judge has ordered rescinded, saying the district has a huge fund reserve while telling the public it faced a deficit and needed to raise taxes.

Can anyone give me a good reason why the Eagles are playing another preseason game against the Jets Thursday night. The NFL should either expand the regular season or nix this fourth game. None of the starters play. And if they do, everyone holds their breath hoping no one gets hurt.

I Don’t Get It: Chris Brown. I don’t get it.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to Marc Hanly. The Ridley Park police corporal was on the stand one year to the day testifying in the trial of the man charged with shooting him. Hanly is alive thanks to his bulletproof vest.

Quote Box: “This case should not be argued in the newspaper. Please read the complaint - it is truthful and accurate.”
