  • A split three-member panel of the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations dismissed a discrimination complaint against Geno's Steaks yesterday, ruling that the speak-English sign at the steak shop "did not convey a message that service would be refused to non-English speakers."
  • Both the Inquirer and the Daily News have coverage of State Senator Vincent J. Fumo's press conference at the Convention Center yesterday, where he officially announced that he would not seek a ninth term, and would retire at the end of the year. The reason he gave was not his recent heart attack, but rather the federal corruption charges against him: "I simply don't think it is right for me to ask the voters who have put their faith in me all these years to consider voting for me one more time while there is a cloud hanging over my head." Governor Ed Rendell was on hand to support Fumo, saying: "Probably no living individual has had a more positive impact on the lives [of] our most vulnerable Philadelphians over the long course of time than Senator Fumo has." The Inquirer takes a look back at Fumo's life and career with a handy timeline, and both papers examine what his departure means for the state Senate race. One of the other candidates just might have a federal investigation of his own to worry about—or not.
