Funeral Promotion at Baseball Game, Christie Drops in Poll, Stolen Police Car

In one of baseball's most unusual promotions, The Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs ran an essay contest with the grand prize a funeral, complete with casket, flowers and headstone. The winner was announced in the 6th inning Tuesday, Steve Paul of Freemansburg who is suffering from ALS. Paul says it is a relief knowing he will leave his family with one less burden, but he hopes he won’t use the prize for several more years.

A new poll shows New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie still tops Democrat Barbara Buono by 20 points. But Christie has lost some ground in his race for re-election. The Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press Poll released Wednesday shows Christie’s lead has shrunk by 10 points since June. Christie is up 56-36 among likely voters.

A woman stole a police car in South Jersey overnight and led officers on a chase before being apprehended. Police were responding to a domestic dispute when the woman hopped in a car and took off. The chase ended in Cherry Hill where police requested medics to the scene.
