The KYW Newsradio All-Local - Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024 (Midday Edition):
A fight inside a car in Point Breeze spilled onto the street, and police said the driver hit one of the people involved.
After finding three city departments going around required bidding procedures and others failing to set a dollar limit on some contracts, putting taxpayers at risk, Philadelphia’s city controller is recommending new measures to keep city departments from abusing no-bid contracts.
While the 76ers and Philadelphia officials continue discussions about building a new arena near Chinatown, New Jersey is reaching in for a steal.


Black nonprofit leaders are getting more support to bolster their projects, raise funding and serve their communities thanks to a new venture from the United Way.
