PHA Ends Free Cars, Nutter Limits Social Media Use, Reckless Bicycle Riders to be Ticketed

The Philadelphia Housing Authority is taking away an employee benefit many saw as excessive - free cars. As many as 200 employees had take-home privileges for agency owned cars. No more. Excessive spending is being cut across the agency as interim Executive Director Kelvin Jeremiah right-sizes the organization.

The Firefighters Union is fighting mad over Mayor Nutter's order restricting firefighters' use of Twitter and Facebook while on or off duty. The Union claims Nutter is infringing on freedom of speech and only wants to eliminate criticism of the Mayor's office and the way they run the city.

Bicycle riders who zip through center city traffic ignoring the rules of the road will start getting ticketed on Labor Day. Center City and South Philadelphia cops have been handing out written warnings for the past several weeks, but the tickets have fines attached to them as of Labor Day.

Sports
The Phillies open a series at home tonight against the Diamondbacks.

Weather
Lots of sun and heat today. High 93 in Philadelphia.
