SEPTA Strike: Day 5 When Will This Mess End? Finally, a public official is stepping forward. Gov. Rendell spoke out to warn SEPTA and the union that the strike hurts any hopes of better public funding. He plans to speaks to both sides this weekend, and has suggested a compromise:
"I'm going to suggest very strongly that everyone copays for health care," Rendell said. "I think the union is right on that they shouldn't be required to copay for their health care [if] management isn't. I also believe it should be based on a percentage of salary." See story.
Meanwhile, more people are opting to bike to work. See "Pedal Push."
