TODAY'S STORIES

'When You Drop Out, You Put Yourself In A Struggle'
Sincere Williamson isn’t one of those showboating track stars. He’s pretty quiet. “He doesn’t know how athletic he really is,” Sincere’s high school track coach Matt Sheehan says. “You’ll see him take a jump, and he’ll just look at himself and say, ‘Did I really just jump 19 feet?’” But Sheehan says Sincere does jump – and sprint – very well. He’s a three-sport athlete: wrestling, football and track. It can be a lot to handle, but Sincere isn’t the kind to quit.

Wolf Says Independent Report Wrong On Budget Analysis
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s administration is disputing an independent report finding his budget proposal would amount to a net tax increase for Pennsylvanians of all income levels.
