Legislation would prohibit certain software-driven pricing coordination practices that can contribute to soaring housing costs
(TRENTON) – In an effort to prevent rent-setting software from pricing New Jerseyans out of their homes, the General Assembly today passed Bill A3497, better known as the “Forbidding the Algorithmic Inflation of Rent (FAIR) Act.” Sponsored by Assembly members Yvonne Lopez, Margie Donlon, and Chigozie Onyema, the legislation would restrict the use of rental pricing algorithms and the impact that these algorithms may have on the overall rental market.

One of the most famous scoop shops in America is celebrating the country’s 250th birthday with three special releases in time for July 4th weekend. The Franklin Fountain, Philadelphia’s award-winning 1900’s inspired ice cream parlor and soda shop, announce a limited edition Torch of Liberty Sundae, Liberty Bell Ice Cream Bars and Fish House Punch Fizz at their location at 116 Market Street, in Confectionery Row, in historic Philadelphia. All three are available now while supplies last – and all three are great ways to cool down during the July 4th and America 250 weekend where temperatures are expected to soar.
TORCH OF LIBERTY SUNDAE
The limited Torch of Liberty Sundae is layers of Lemon-Lime Sorbet, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Mango Sorbet, Raspberry Compote, and fresh Whipped Cream, served in a green torch like cup. The Torch of Liberty is a refreshing treat, large enough to share, but light enough for one person. A full size is $17.76 and a junior size is $13 (but doesn’t come in a torch cup.) There will only be 250 full size Torch of Liberty sundaes this summer (though you can order the same combination of flavors any day, and any year).

At approximately 3:55 PM, July 5, officers responded to a report of gunfire in the 500 block of E. Wyoming Avenue, where they discovered a 27-year-old male victim lying on the highway suffering from gunshot wounds.
Responding officers immediately rushed him to Temple University Hospital.
Despite lifesaving efforts, the victim succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at 4:17 PM. The crime scene is currently being held for processing; no arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing with the Homicide Division.
Nearly five years after 19-year-old Chrys Carvajal was gunned down in a senseless act of gang violence, the FBI is renewing its call for justice with an increased reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of fugitive Joseph Matos.
Carvajal had recently completed Army National Guard basic training and returned home to Chicago to spend Fourth of July weekend with family and friends. On July 3, 2021, as he walked to his vehicle after attending a party in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood on the city’s North Side, investigators say he was approached by Matos and Gary Roberson, two alleged members of the Milwaukee Kings street gang, and fatally shot.
Authorities allege the attack was likely committed to enhance the shooters’ standing within the gang.
“Chrys Carvajal had no gang affiliation whatsoever,” said FBI Chicago Supervisory Special Agent Michael Zoufal, who heads the Bureau’s Second City Gang Task Force, which is investigating the case. “He wasn’t known to these individuals. There was no connection. Unfortunately, it was simply a tragic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Sean Gorman, Superintendent of Schools
Dear Parents, Guardians, and Staff,
(GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ)(CNBNews) (July 1st, 2021)–Today is my first official day as Superintendent of Gloucester City School District. I couldn’t be more honored and excited. I entered Gloucester City Schools as a kindergarten student in 1985 and graduated from Gloucester High School in 1998. I was thrilled to return to GHS for my professional career in 2002 and have served as a Special Education teacher, guidance counselor, athletic coach, Director of Guidance, and Principal. I’ve proudly resided in Gloucester my entire life and have three children of my own and nieces and nephews enrolled at all three of our district schools. I have the unique and invaluable perspective of asking myself each day: am I the school leader that I would want for my own children and family? This lens has guided me well in all of my professional roles and is shared by so many of the outstanding, dedicated professionals that I consider myself very lucky to work alongside for nearly 20 years. This deeply entrenched commitment of all staff, students, families, and community members to each other will remain a driving force throughout our school district.
