Good morning, Delaware County. Washington had a busy week of doing very Washington things — budget battles, a defense bill squeezed through by a narrow margin, federal probes into medical school admissions, and a Senate committee move that could put Mercedes-Benz in a surprisingly awkward spot. Oh, and Congress finally got around to banning lawmakers from trading individual stocks, which only took, you know, forever.
On the local front, the week ahead is a nice palate cleanser — NAMI's Connection Support Group and Delaware Family Storytime are both on Wednesday, and if you're craving some 90s nostalgia, Cassette Mindset brings the rock on Thursday. Fresh real estate listings are live too, if the browsing mood strikes. Let's get into it.
