We talk about how this crime and the aftermath have exposed flaws in American health care. After many delays, a preliminary vote has paved the way for a new 76ers arena in Center City. And Pennsylvania’s Teacher of the Year, who’s from Haverford High School, is the first Black male teacher to receive the honor. Catch up on what happened in the Philadelphia region this week with Matt Leon and KYW Newsradio’s team of reporters and editors.
