Daily Briefing, 3/6/2012

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

So far, 5,000 reassessments are being challenged in Lehigh County.  More details are emerging regarding the Allentown arena project.  In Nazareth, the Borough and police union remain at odds over issues related to back pay.

In state-wide news, Lehigh Valley Mayors, as well as Chamber President Tony Iannelli, testified in Harrisburg yesterday on the need for arbitration reform.  Transportation departments across the state are seeing significant savings thanks to the mild winter.  Mike Veon, former Democratic House Whip, was found guilty of corruption yesterday.  Veon is already serving jail time for his first corruption conviction.

In national news, today is Super Tuesday, and ten states go to the polls to vote on the Republican nominee for President.  After 27 straight days of increases, gas prices slightly decreased yesterday.

We have one Chamber event today: a joint LeBEAM, Northampton Chamber and Northern Lehigh Chamber event on the future of education.

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