I am grateful the Delaware County Council and District Attorney Joe Whelan could join us to discuss solutions to this serious - and tragic - issue.\n\u00a0\nTalking The Tough Issues With Philadelphia's Northeast Times\n\u00a0\nI stopped by the offices of Philadelphia's Northeast Times for a conversation about the most significant issues facing our country today, including Iran, Obamacare, and the budget.
