This may or may not affect the eagles game. At this point does not seem like it will. If youre headed out to the navy and temple game, looking at mostly cloudy skies to start and partly cloudy to end. It will be mild out there.

Getting a refund was not as simple as she thought. Coming up next at 5 00. Harry hairston and nbc10 responds with what you need to know before hiring a moving company. Why are south jerseyans turning against Steve Sweeney . Its because sweeneys been exposed as a double dipping pension padder. Caught spending Campaign Money on lavish dinners and fine cigars for his pals. Investigated for being a lobbyist and a senator at the same time. Sweeney voted to raise taxes 145 times while our economy continues to struggle. South jersey is a mess, and its time to take out the trash. On november 7th, make a change. Dump sweeney. Nice to meet you sir. Joseph, im nice to meet you. U . Hows it going man . The yankees . Come on. [ laughing ] look at the smiles and the hard work that the people here are doing. Its like making mini sandwiches. Theyre no different than anyone else. They just want a job. They want respect and they want dignity. This is a nice place. Yeah. He plays basketball with lauren. Steve called, fairly frantic. You know, he had a premature baby and i think he had just been given the diagnosis that she had down syndrome. Lauren brought out the best in me. She made me a different person. Deep down in his heart he feels for people who are disadvantaged. Laurens a light in everybody eye. Shes the spark that has started the fire. The goal is to keep places like this open so all people, regardless of disability, have an opportunity for employment. See, i love you. I love you guys too. You know that. Yeah. A bridge shut down over politics. Their biggest triumph was a traffic jam. Chris christie and kim guadagnos failures shortchanged our future. After 8 years incomes are down, costs are up and our economy is crawling. We are better than this. Im phil murphy together well build a stronger, fairer economy that works for every new jersey family. Christie and guadagno left new jersey stuck. Im serious about moving new jersey forward. Now to nbc10 responds. A viewer says a moving company damaged one of her items. The company promised to pay but for three months she waited and waited until she contacted Harry Hairston at nbc10 responds. Enough of the waiting she said. This viewer said she made nearly two dozen phone calls looking for her money and not one of the calls were returned. Months after her move lisa jackson is still unpacking, unwrapping and putting everything into its place. On june 5th i had to move from the city of chester to chester township. Jackson says the movers, two men and a truck, did a fine job, except for one problem. They broke my carpet cleaner. She had the movers fill out a damage report to get reimbursed. They said a manager would be in touch with me. She tells us the call never came and over a threemonth period she called more than a dozen times. I believe i called at least 20 times. Three months after her first call she decided to reach out to nbc10 responds. From the time that i submitted my complaint to nbc10, it was no less than a week i got my check in the mail. The company sent her a check for 125. Damages happen the owner of two men and a truck franchise that moved Jackson Furniture tells us sometimes a busy schedule might leave some calls unreturned for a while. But his company went above and beyond, giving jackson more money than required by law. When you book a move with either state or federal law, 60 cents per pound per article. Thats after the item is depreciated. The owner says he tries to issue checks for damage within 60 days but the government gives him more time. He did take longer than 60 days to pay, but he did pay within the time allowed by the government. Federal law gives us 120 days to get back to the smer custome rectify the problem. I have my money. I can finally relax now. You guys helped an awful lot. The biggest takeaway, folks, movers only have to pay you 60 cents per pound of your damaged item. Not the full replacement cost. If you want the full replacement cost, you can buy more protection from the mover or another insurer. She did a great job, too, of actually writing down every item. Kept everything. We wrote down every penny that we help get back for our viewers. A look at the recovery counter. It now stands at 819,933. Jim rosenfield and jacqueline london are next.
