Vice president addresses national firefighters union at PA Convention Center.
Following Vice President Joe Biden's remarks to the national firefighters union where he praised its members and all middle-class workers, it was what he didn't say that irked the Philadelphia firefighters union president. Local 22 President Bill Gault said he was discouraged with Biden for refraining from taking a position encouraging Mayor Michael Nutter to abide by an arbitrator's decision about the Philadelphia Fire Department. "I'm disappointed that the vice president didn't say: 'Mr. Mayor, you should honor your agreement.' It's a very simple sentence," Gault said. Nutter has until August to appeal an arbiter's decision to put into place a contract for the firefighters, which would award back pay and salary increases. The …

Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, will be in attendance at Media's Veterans Day parade on Friday.
Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, will be participating in Media's 52nd Annual Veterans Day Parade, which is the state's largest Veterans Day parade, on Friday. Biden is said to be arriving at Philadelphia International Airport around noon on Friday. Security is always tight when a President or Vice President come to town. So temporary road closures between the airport and Media Borough as the Bidens travel through are likely. Although we don't have confirmation on any specific temporary road closures or a route Biden will take. One could assume Interstate 476 and maybe even Baltimore Pike would be taken. Just expect traffic delays around noon on Friday around the airport and in Media Borough. Biden is said to arrive …
