where that money would go. katie: the u.s. has added 14 million new jobs since the great recession - a good start. but too many families see the special interests gaining the upper hand in washington, while paychecks don't go far enough. if you work hard, your paycheck should show it; you earned social security - it should be there when you retire. and you shouldn't have to go broke to afford college. i'm katie mcginty and i approve this message because it's your turn. >> those plastic bags could come with a cost for delaware residents. lawmakers will consider a bill that charge as 5 cent fee for every plastic bag. the law would apply to stores with at least 7,000 square feet or stores with three or more locations. the stores would use the proceeds to provide customers with reusable bag. the bill is intended to clean up the environment. >> the theory goes cities for for renting, suburbs for owning. that could change. a study looked at the 11 biggest cities including here in philadelphia. in those cities, the number of renters in the suburbs went up. average of 6% in the last 10 years. experts think the fallout from the mortgage meltdown is behind this but there is another problem. renting is getting more expensive toxt according to the study people who make the median income in philadelphia can only afford 28% of rental properties. more people in philadelphia are also considered severely rent burdened, that means the rent is at least half their income. in philly that number went from 27 to 30% in the last 10 years. coming up next, breaking news, a random

kept going. the suspect approached a third victim who was waiting just across the street for his car to be repaired at an auto mechanic. the suspect stabbed that man. a 30-year-old young man. he is the guy who ended up dying right in the middle of the street here along baltimore avenue. as we come back we can tell you that the two victims who were also hurt in all of this, they should survive. they drove themselves to mercy hospital which is just a couple of blocks in this direction. they are expected to be okay. the 55-year-old suspect after stabbing those three people just walked away

at the airport coming in at 72 degrees too. now over the next couple days you know it's going to be warm. the warmth won't last. sech 8 tomorrow, 80 on thursday, both of those not just breaking

associated with the water company or health department. the mayor says many residents missed that fine print. >> we had a couple hundred calls. >> the calls not only in bensalem. the company is a legitimate company. the equipment. the flyers is legal. the company even had permits to do so. >> when they did that in such a mass all over the township being legitimate, didn't look that great for people. i don't think -- in my eyes not that great of a marketing tool. >> reporter: we made efforts to get comments from the water service. we e-mailed and called and went to the address listed on the flyer. it appeared no one was in the building. until employee showed up when we tried to ask him. >> i have no idea why you're here. >> reporter: people urging him to go inside and didn't comment to us. born says he never reached out to the company but looked them up and posted the flyer on facebook to warn others. this was a marketing campaign the mayor and the county department of consumer

say store? i don't know what store this is but you can buy great weather there apparently with temperatures in the 70s, even the 80s. look at that shot. that is beautiful, we look out toward university city. looking very nice. you can see what's happening, sun going down in about the next 10 to 15 minutes. sunset on sunday after we spring forward here, sun goes down after 7:00. out there right now 72 degrees, winds out of the south-southwest at 8 miles per hour. 12 degrees warmer than this time yesterday. so what a difference a day makes. 70s this week, we're talking record highs. that's one of the main headlines and one of those records is going to be 80 degree day. then we've got a weekend rain chance. if you're got plan this is weekend we'll talk about that. first off, take a look at the numbers. reading coming in at 73. 71 toward wilmington. millville around the 70-degree mark. mount holly at 71. so beautiful evening no matter what you're thinking about doing getting out on the schuylkill river trail. down to the south and west, 73 in d.c. after a high of 79 today. 77 in richmond, 78 in charlottesville. so this is the heat. it's right on our door step and it's going to move up i-95 the next 24 hours and this time tomorrow we'll be in the mid to upper 70s. not much in the way of clouds. we did see mid to high level clouds earlier this afternoon. those have moved off to the north. we've got the warm air in place. the jet stream dipping down to the south and well to the west. that allows all of that moisture, that very warm air out of the gulf of mexico to move our way. we're just going to see the warmer air. there's chances for rain, they do increase. record warmth, temperatures 30 degrees above average. you do not see that very often here around our region. that's why we're talking with the records. overnight tonight, a mild evening, some clouds, 53 in philadelphia, 48 north and west, a very nice day. early tomorrow sun rise around 6:21 so starting off on a good note. tomorrow afternoon warmer, plenty of sunshine tomorrow, smashing the record, 76 to 79, the record is 73. that was set in 2000. we're definitely going to be crushing that record. winds 10 to 15 miles per hour. look at the rest of the area. 76 for a high tomorrow. swedesboro at 78. vineland at 76 tomorrow. medford close to 80 degrees and medford, 78 in d.c., up toward allentown t lehigh valley coming in at 75. so everybody is going to be on the warm side as we move through the day. the next couple days, 78 on wednesday, 80 thursday, there is that 80-degree day. 68, a touch cooler friday. that's because of the cold front. we see the cold front coming through. that will allow for moisture to move up that cold front and eventually we'll see some of that move in during the weekend. so we're talking a lot of clouds this weekend on saturday and sunday. not a lot of rain. if the you've got plans maybe take the small umbrella. i don't think you'll need it most of the weekend. we lose an hour sunday morning but sunday night the sun goes down around 7:15. >> 30-degree difference. i'll take 80 in march any day. >> absolutely amazing. happy to be here when it's 80

see and engineer things way smaller than a single red blood cell, than a single piece of dust. processors so small you can't see them. more energy efficient devices, that's the goal, possibilities in the agricultural and medical worlds as well. one possibility they told me about the ability to take a tiny drop of your blood and put it on a stamp size device so powerful and intelligent it can instantly give you more information about your health than an entire traditional lab. this lab is a high tech play ground for students, also a draw for companies now invited to set up businesses on or
