Philadelphia Lowering Tax Penalties, Paulsboro Bridge Issues, South Philly Double Shooting

City Council is moving toward lowering the interest rates and penalties paid by tax delinquents, in hopes of getting more of them to pay up. The measure was approved in Committee and goes to the full council for a vote later this month. Much of the money owed to the city has been owed for decades and will likely never be recovered.

Warning signs of trouble on Conrail's Jefferson Street Bridge in Paulsboro, prior to the seven-car derailment Friday, are numerous according the NTSB who mentioned Monday 23 trouble tickets or work that needed to be done on the span since December 1st 2011. The coast guard says a large crane from New York that removed the plane that was the â€œMiracle on the Hudsonâ€ will be coming here to assist in the train cars removal after the rest of the vinyl chloride is removed.

Police are investigating a double shooting that left a 30-year-old father and his four-year-old boy injured in South Philadelphia Monday night. It happened on the 2700 block of Daly Terrace a little after 7 p.m. Police say a man in his twenties opened fire from the street into the back of the family mini van. At least nine shots were fired as the boy and his father and a nine-year-old girl were getting ready to go somewhere. Authorities believe the father was the intended target.
