Heat wave prompts tips and record heat reports
PECO Energy and city health officials urge lightweight clothing hydration and rest to beat extreme heat. The region logged multiple record highs with 101 degrees in July and 96 on Tuesday. Health officials warn signs of heat illness and advise seeking medical help, checking on elderly neighbors, and staying in air conditioned spaces. A Pittsburgh area death and a Lackawanna County coroner link heat to fatalities and exertion during a heat wave.
State cuts funding for legal aid groups in Harrisburg
Budget action eliminates the $2 million proposed for legal assistance, affecting about 20 state funded groups including Delaware County Legal Assistance. Advocates blame Rep. Matt Ryan and Sen. Joe Loeper for the cut, citing the Flower Manor housing case as a possible factor. Some federal funding remains, but the loss of state money could reduce 5,533 Delaware County cases by at least 500.
