Fulkerson argues dilapidated New Castle building risks collapse
Councilman Tim Fulkerson warns of a structure at 221 Croton Ave that he says threatens to drop into Neshannock Creek and questions if the owner has been notified or required to demolish it. Fire chief Mark Panella notes ownership changes and cites a demolition-ready site with no city funds to tear it down. The piece discusses a potential land bank and county collaboration to control properties bought at Free and Clear sales, where bids start at 500 dollars.

Lawmakers finalize many bills shielding officers in shootings
Harrisburg lawmakers left town after a flurry of last minute laws but not pension reform. A controversial measure shields the identities of police involved in shootings with departments given up to 30 days to disclose officer names. Civil liberties groups oppose it while local officials weigh timing in naming officers. Philadelphia often names shooters within 72 hours, while Dauphin County has yet to identify the officer who killed Earl Pinkney in Harrisburg on August 7.
