Today's riddle: What did Tennessee see? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
• Pennsylvania Supreme Court Addresses Classification of Municipal Stormwater Charges (barley.com) — Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court has ruled that the Borough of West Chester’s stormwater charge, as structured, functions as a tax rather than a fee, meaning West Chester University didn’t have to pay it. While the decision is fact-specific, it could influence how the borough and other municipalities design future stormwater funding and how local property owners, especially tax‑exempt institutions, evaluate their own stormwater bills.
• Cockroach Concerns, Food Safety Lapses Found at Chester County Eateries (mychesco.com) — Chester County health inspectors recently cited several eateries, including Opa Taverna in West Chester, for food-safety issues ranging from temperature control problems to potential contamination and pest risks. Other West Chester spots like Diamond Eats and La Baguette Magique passed without violations, and residents are encouraged to report concerns or possible foodborne illness directly to the county health department.
• West Chester East falls to Abington Heights in state quarterfinal (dailylocal.com) — West Chester East’s softball team saw its state title run end Thursday with a 9–5 quarterfinal loss to Abington Heights in Allentown, despite a fast 2–0 start. West Chester standouts like Ava Cross and seniors Mia Picciotti and Carly Bickle helped fuel a 22–3 season that included a District 1 championship and Ches-Mont crown.
