Cosby Reportedly Blind; PA Turnpike Tolls Up 6 Percent; West Nile In Haverford Mosquito

Bill Cosby is awaiting trial for the alleged aggravated indecent assault of a woman in 2004, and now the New York Post's Page Six is reporting on his medical problems. A well-placed source told the paper Cosby is now "completely blind" and "in his own personal hell." The Post says, "He has been suffering from a degenerative eye disease and is completely blind. All his Hollywood friends have turned their backs on him."

Tolls on the Pennsylvania Turnpike are going up. The Turnpike Commission has approved a 6 percent toll increase for both E-ZPass and cash customers. The increase will take effect on Jan. 8, 2017. Officials say the increase is necessary to pay back the borrowing required to meet funding obligations for rebuilding and widening the roadway and providing funding to the commonwealth to support public transportation.

A mosquito has tested positive for West Nile Virus in Haverford Township, state officials announced Tuesday. The sample was one of three in Delaware County that tested positive for the virus in the most recent sampling. Other samples were located in Radnor and Upper Chichester. Mosquitoes are trapped around the county in breeding areas and tested for West Nile as part of routine surveillance.
