Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw addressed rumors that she is leaving Philadelphia to take the job as New York City Police Commissioner. "It's a rumor that's just out there and it's wild and it's out of control," she said Wednesday, 12/8. "I appreciate the honorable mention, and it's quite flattering quite frankly. But I will tell you, I'm still continuing to focus on my work here, and obviously if I had information to share, I would share it. I'll leave it at that. Their process is their process, and for any additional information I think folks need to reach out to the folks in New York." There has been speculation that Outlaw is on the shortlist of candidates that NY Mayor-elect Eric Adams is considering.

Six people were injured when a SEPTA Trolley struck a CSX freight train in Delaware County on Thursday morning, 12/9. It happened around 8:30 a.m. at 6th and Main Streets in Darby. There were 20 passengers on the trolley. 5 passengers and the operator were taken to local hospitals and treated for non life-threatening injuries. The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the cause of the crash.

The Penn State trustees announced on Thursday, 12/9, that Neeli Bendapudi will become the next school president. She will be the first woman and first person of color to serve as top administrator. 58-year-old Bendapudi is currently the president of University of Louisville. She has been in that role for three years. She is a marketing professor whose research involves consumer behavior. She will be succeeding current president Eric Barron who retires in June 2022. "Being president of this institution is a sacred trust, and it's truly the honor of a lifetime. I am in awe of Penn State's 'we are' spirit and of the transformative power of a Penn State education," she told the board after the vote. "And the Penn State community, which is like no other, anywhere."
