Daily Briefing, 1/26/2012

Good morning everyone!  Here is today's Daily Briefing.

Joe Paterno's funeral was held yesterday.  Lehigh County Commissioners voted to proceed with reassessment, over Executive Don Cunningham's objections.  Commissioners also appointed Mike Schware to the vacancy on the Board of Commissioners.  Ryan Mackenzie announced that he will seek the Republican nomination in the 134th Legislative District, Doug Reichley's old seat.

In state-wide news (and this is a big one), the Pennsylvania Supreme Court invalidated the state legislative redistricting maps.  That being said, no opinion has been released yet, so it is still unknown how this will affect candidates.

In national news, the Federal Reserve yesterday said that it expects to keep interest rates low through 2014.  Republican Presidential candidates debate tonight, one last time before the Florida primary on 1/31.

Today's is a busy day in Chamber world, with three events: a mixer at Braveheart's Highland Pub in Hellertown, a mixer at Allentown Symphony Hall with the Lehigh Valley Easy Pages and a President's Roundtable with Jim Koch of the Boston Beer Company.

And that's it!  Have a good one, and we'll see you later.
