    Good morning, Feeders!

    Lizz Fiedler will have a story for us today after spending time yesterday in Camden’s tent cities.

    But first, listen for WHYY/NewsWorks’ Tom MacDonald and Philadelphia writer Patrick Kerkstra at 11 a.m. on Radio Times. They’ll be talking about City Council’s 2012 agenda.
    From there, Tom will catch with with Mayor Michael Nutter and new 2nd District Councilman Kenyatta Johnson as the pair tour Point Breeze.

    Taunya English is checking in with a health company that’s taking steps to test new employees for nicotine. We’ll find out what this means for smokers and those trying to quit.
