City Council to vote on curfew changes, custodial workers demand a fair contract

    Good morning, Feeders!

    City Council today is expected to vote on Philadelphia curfew changes. Mayor Michael Nutter announced earlier curfews this summer in some parts of the city during the height of flashmob season. What changes would legislation bring? Tom MacDonald will find out.

    Tom will also have details from City Controller Alan Butkovitz’s EMS audit and a rally by Center City custodial workers who are demanding a fair contract.

    Lizz Fiedler will have numbers for us on Pa. Gov. Tom Corbett’s plan for school vouchers. How much can parents expect to receive, and will it be enough for private schools to reserve a spot?
