Parker’s housing-friendly budget, detained South Jersey business owner reunites with family, and beef thieves foiled in South Philly

Housing, housing, housing. If there’s anything Mayor Charelle Parker wants you to know about her $6.7 billion budget proposal, it’s that the main goal is to deliver on her campaign promise of expanding Philadelphia’s affordable housing options. But is City Council onboard with all the implications? Plus, find out when and why New Jersey residents can expect a massive spike in their utility bills, and hear from new U.S. Senator Dave McCormick, who reflects on his first three months on the job. We also take a look at the shaky future of two Delaware County hospitals, a failed South Philly beef heist, and the reunion between a South Jersey business owner detained by ICE and her family. KYW Newsradio’s Matt Leon dives into these stories and more making news in the Philadelphia region this week.
