Philadelphia’s Citizens Police Oversight Commission has faced many challenges since it was created. The latest: the chair of the commission was arrested on bribery charges. Plus, midterm elections are coming up on Tuesday. We talk about the Trump administration’s decision to send election monitors to Philadelphia and key races in New Jersey, where Democrats could flip a strong Republican House seat. Plus the latest on the fate of the Academy of Natural Sciences and a new law in response to hazing at Cheltenham High School.
