** IN YOUR WEEKLY BULLETIN:
------------------------------------------------------------
A Philadelphia charity that exists to help the children of fallen cops and firefighters spent more than three-and-a-half times more on legal fees last year than it gave out in scholarships. Nobody will say where the money is going. This week's Sunday Bulletin has that story, the vote.pa follow-up, and a lot more.
INVESTIGATIVE: The Hero Thrill Show — a Philadelphia institution since the 1950s that provides scholarships to children of police officers and firefighters killed or injured in the line of duty — paid $118,596 in legal fees in 2024. It gave out $33,600 in scholarships that same year. Since 2017, the charity has reported more than $1 million in legal expenses with no explanation. One lawsuit has been filed against it in recent years. It has no retail office. Its CEO reviews his own financial reports before the board sees them. He hasn't responded to questions in years of reporting. Also: the charity appears to have skipped filing its required annual federal tax disclosure for at least one fiscal year — the year it lost $228,000.
POLITICS: The vote.pa story continues — this edition runs the full deep-dive into what the Democratic data harvesting site actually collects, how it works on three levels of data extraction, and why its API terms of use appear to be in direct conflict with Pennsylvania Department of State rules. Plus, the editors make the case for Pennsylvania tort reform, pointing to Florida's successful overhaul as a model for bringing down insurance costs.
SPORTS: Trump weighed in on MLB's proposed salary cap aboard Air Force One, saying baseball needs one or it doesn't have a real sport. The CBA expires December 1 and a lockout is expected — and at least one anonymous owner thinks Trump could get personally involved if spring training gets threatened. Plus, Anthony SanFilippo on where the Flyers stand this offseason, a blue line upgrade search, and Gary Bettman's circus. And a deep history of Shinnecock Hills ahead of this week's U.S. Open — four brutal previous Opens broken down hole by hole.
FROM THE EDITORS: Pennsylvania should opt into the new federal tax credit scholarship program before January 2027 — a bipartisan op-ed from Anthony Williams making the case that this isn't about public vs. private, it's about getting resources to kids who need them. Plus, an Ocean City animal shelter had its donation box robbed — and the suspect was wearing an Eagles jersey.
