Tuesday quickies (short day apologia)

  1. City:

  2. State/region:

    • Trenton will be the testing ground for a new law aimed at restricting the degree to which animal rights activists can harrass businesses and their employees to make a point.

    • Pennsylvania's requirement that people show a Social Security number when applying for a gun license has just been struck down by a federal court. Privacy rights bump heads with attempts to regulate gun trafficking -- bummer.

    • Impact reports for proposed casinos are being held by the state regulatory board, preventing cities and neighborhoods from having complete information before deciding whether to support or fight the plans. A DN editorial bemoans this state of affairs (and particularly its implications for Philadelphia).
