Towers Grow In Northampton Twp, Reward Offerred In Olney Slayings, Camden Superintendent Buyout

American Tower Corporation has put up cell towers in Northampton Township, some right in people's front yards. And now work crews have been getting the ground ready for twelve more 25-foot towers. All the utilities in this neighborhood are underground, and some say the towers would be an eyesore. Township administrators say the stateâ€™s Public Utility Commission gave the company the right to install the towers. And after the township lost in court, they say there is not much else they can do. But homeowners vow to keep fighting for the property they work so hard to maintain.

Police need the public's help identifying the suspect that shot and killed two people in cold blood in the Olney-section Monday night. A $40,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect they say shot and killed 21-year-old Rodney Ramseur and 21-year-old Latia Jones. The two had been talking on a porch outside when they were shot by an unidentified male wearing a grey hoodie and black pants.

The Camden City School Districtâ€™s Superintendent Bessie LeFra Young makes more than $240,000 a year. But lately, she hasnâ€™t been showing up for work. Sheâ€™s missed more than 180 days in the last two years. Now, with one year left under her contract, sheâ€™s hoping the School Board approves a buyout settlement tonight.

Camden City Mayor Dana Redd says the amount of time Young has missed is unacceptable. She expects the board will make the right decision.
