3. Media reconsiders joining proposed central Delco EMS authority (delcotimes.com) — Media Borough officials are backing away from joining a new regional EMS authority, citing concerns about higher flat fees, limited voting power, and uncertainty over leadership.

A Sept. 2 public meeting will proceed without Media joining for now.
