Good morning everyone! Our week-long absence is over - we know you missed us terribly. But, we are now back and ready for blog for you once again! Here is today's news.
If you wanted a flu-shot this weekend and went to Dorney Park for a free drive-through clinic, or if you just happened to be driving down Hamilton Street, you probably saw a massive traffic jam that took many by surprise. The clinic had so many attendees that a subsequent clinic the next day had to be shortened in order to ensure that there was enough vaccine to go around.
In state-wide news, the SEPTA strike in Philadelphia has ended, as the union and transit authority signed a contract early this morning. The Monday commute is expected to be back to normal.
In national news, sweeping health care reform legislation passed the House of Representatives this weekend by a vote of 220-215. Only one Republican voted for the measure while 39 Democrats opposed it. The bill now moves onto the Senate, where it faces a much more difficult landscape.
Business Matters airs tonight, and the show features a panel with all four of our Lehigh Valley State Senators. The show will air at 8pm on WFMZ.
That's it for now! Have a great day and we'll see you later.
