Transcripts For WCAU NBC10 Issue 20161106 : vimarsana.com

Announcer nbc 10 issue starts now. Good morning, im keith jones. We head to the polls on tuesday. Thats not soon enough for many americans. The election has become a significant source of stress. According to a survey by a Marketing Research term, civic science, 48 of adults say the president ial election is a significant source of stress in their lives, equally among republicans and democrats. The American Psychological Association Found similar results. According to their survey, 52 of adults say the election is causing very or somewhat significant stress. The results break down failure equally between republicans and democrats, again. But the results differ when it comes to age. Older adults and millenials are feeling the most stress. That concerns the past president of the apa. Research shows that College Students anxiety and depression has been going up over the last few years. And im worried that here were now dump on them this uncertain election, this really churnedup campaign that were looking, campaigns plural. And if its stressing out nonstudents and other people, the seniors and even the boomers are more than 50 stressed by this, then how about the millenials who are already showing an increase in anxiety and depression over the last few years . Some people are fearing problems at the polls when they show up to vote. Others worry about how the election will impact them once a candidate is chosen. Reporter do you have any fear about what will happen if the candidate you dont support wins . Yes. Reporter have you felt that way before . Not like this. I absolutely am in fear of the wrong person becoming president of the united states. Reporter is this different than you felt in the past . 100 . 100 . Because i think this particular election, the public has been made aware of how politics works and how evil they can be towards each other. When you see that on a national stage, heck yes, it puts fear in you. Using words like fear and evil. Dr. Linda welsh has been helping people in our area deal with anxiety for more than 30 years. Dr. Welsh, thanks so much for joining me. Good to be here, keith. This is turning into an enormous topic. It is. Dr. Farley says hes concerned about how the election affects young people. But why is it so bad for the rest of us . I think were all the effect of the media, the commercials, the language thats used is so inflammatory and hostile that we just pick it up in the environment. We turn on the tv. We look at facebook. Wherever we go, were overwhelmed with the discussion about it and the conflict thats raised. And the anxiety, is it infectious . It is. Is it the kind of thing you feel based on somebody else . People cant stop talking about it, people come into my office for other issues and say, how will this affect my family, whats going to be next, i dont know to live with this uncertainty. Unfortunately we all have to live with uncertainty and this is one more example of it. Half of people who responded to our survey said theyre fearful. When is stress good, when is stress bad . When do you need to know like when is it getting the better of you . Its appropriate, because stress, anxiety, helps us gear up, get adrenaline flowing and get ready. When you feel powerless, particularly in this situation where you feel like you dont have a direct impact, you get paralyzed and people dont vote, which is a big concern. But when you realize much of your day is consumed with discussing it, youre having trouble sleeping, youre having trouble eating, youre not never feeling calm and relaxed in this whole thing. The two surveys we talked about focused on adults. We were talking about this segment that youre seeing more younger patients, children, who may be having conversation with their parents. Theyre seeing it on television, theyre hearing it from their friends, its trickling down to kids in a way we never saw politics do before. The American Psychological association blames social media posts, some of them can be inflammatory, others can be hostile. You know, how do you disconnect, how do you turn off from social media . Is that impossible . I think its a must. People are feeling the stress and they have to recognize they have to limit their exposure as much as possible. There are ways you can discuss it within your family that decreases your anxiety. You can discuss your own values. You can discuss with your kids the positive attributes of the individuals rather than focusing on the negative. You can be reassuring to each other that life will go on, this country has dealt with things like this before, we will survive. And basically well stick together and handle whatever we have to handle. Yet a segment of the population, those over 70 years old, 60 of them were polled, they were saying that the election is causing significant stress, they can already turn off from social media. So what do you suggest they do . The older population . I think they talk to their kids, talk to their family about it, they discuss within themselves whats important to them rather than getting caught up in these issues in such a negative way. In a way, if that becomes a stressor, should we avoid talking about it with people, especially when it comes to the election or each candidate or fears about whats going to happen . Youre shaking your head, no way. No, you model how to talk about things correctly. You communicate without the heat and emotion that youre witnessing that goes with the commercials were seeing. You talk about it calmly, and cut the argument off when it gets heated. Enough is enough when you see it getting out of control. One of my faculty said, you have a safe word when you feel like youre getting too worked up and that ends the discussion. You were saying before that youre seeing couples come up, same for them. Right. People are saying, i cant live with you if you dont understand how i feel about this, its affecting marriages. My advice is to listen and try to understand without taking a black and white position. Weve been so polarized. If you can understand where the other person is coming from without necessarily agreeing with them, thats how to model for your kids. How do kids process these inflammatory remarks, potentially . Anything thats discussed by either candidate. Its frightening. Its really frightening. Because they see and they feel, experience intense emotion and they think something terrible is about to happen. A lot of us are feeling that. But we have to curb that, especially if were sharing it with your kids. How do we curb potential violence at the polls, people say, if i go, there may be somebody watching if i vote one way or the next. I dont want to get too paranoid about it. Its overblown. If you dont feel comfortable, go with someone, but go and vote, stand up for what you believe it, it goes a long way to make you feel less anxious. In the hours waning down, coverage will ramp up, there will be minute by minute coverage of every development. Do you suggest people stay glued to that . No. Live life normally. What do you say to people whose candidate is the loser . They have to deal with it. I mean, the worst thing in the world is to think what might happen if we lose and what do we do about it, do we have to do anything. Think about what you might want to do in your own community, thats really important. But you have to deal with it. Signified, the country has gone through a lot and weve come back together again. Hopefully we will after this too. So a little bit of tough love, also listen to one another, especially in terms of couples that have any kind of qualms and differences. And friends. A lot of friends are breaking up over this too. That goes to saying, can ira tolerate your position and still let you know how i feel about it. We were talking about how kids interpret some of the things parents say. Weve had some man on the is street interviews were people say, if so and so gets elected, im moving to canada, im moving out of the country. Kids can hear that. My goodness, its frightening. Its frightening, im powerless, i cant figure out a way to deal with this. We dont want to model that for our kids at all. We say, the worst happens, what do we do next, how do we get up in the morning and go about our business . Well, we do. Thats what we have to model for our children. Respecting each other. Thank you so much for joining me, i really appreciate you taking the time. Well end with a final comment from dr. Frank farley in terms of what you can do if your candidate doesnt win. What doesnt kill you makes you stronger, to use that old phrase. Post traumatic growth. Its a lesson in life. You didnt get your way, but my gosh, in every day life, you know, part of the give and take of a happy life is that you dont always get your way. And learn from the results. Think about what happened, why you voted for that person, et cetera. And move on. And we are moving right along here on nbc 10 issue. To a story practically no one has been talking about. You better be prepared to pay a lot more in tractioaxes if you over a bridge to get to work. Well explain in a moment. Pat toomey and donald trump theyre just wrong for the women of pennsylvania. New fallout for donald trump. Should a woman be punshied for having an abortion . There has to be some form of punishment. For the woman . Yeah, there has to be some form. I would support legislation in pennsylvania that would ban abortion and i would, suggest that we have penalties for doctors who perform them. Pat toomey and donald trump theyre not for you.

You hear my voice, you hear that sound like thunder, gonna shake your ground you held me down but i got up get ready cause ive had enough i got the eye of the tiger, a fighter dancing through the fire cause i am the champion and youre gonna hear me roar roar, oh, oh, oh roar i got the eye of the tiger, a fighter dancing through the fire cause i am the champion and youre gonna hear me roar oh, louder and youre gonna hear me roar im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. An agreement will soon end involving new jersey and pennsylvania residents who work across state lines. Now they pay income taxes where they live. Beginning january 1st, theyll have to pay where they work. That means residents in both states could be shelling out a lot more in taxes. Gary bengel is a cpa, gary, thank you so much for joining me. Gary is also a villanova guy too, by the way, i want to point that out as a villanova alum myself. To understand this, i think it would be good to Start Talking about the agreement here between new jersey and pennsylvania. Okay, sure. As you pointed out, generally what happens when you live in one state and work in another, you pay taxes actually in both states. You end up paying taxes really where you work and also in your home state, although you wind up getting a credit in your home state for the taxes you paid where you work. For example, i live in new jersey. If i go in new york, work in new york, new york takes my money. I file a new york return. And then when i file my new jersey return, i get a credit or an offset for those taxes i paid to new york, so you dont get taxed twice. Thats the way it typically works. When states have a lot of people going crossborder, they enter into these reciprocal agreements. Back in 1977, when new jersey first implemented its personal income tax, their rate was about the same as pennsylvanias both in the range of 2 to 3 range. They said we have a lot of people going back and forth over the bridges, our tax rates are the same, lets enter into these reciprocal agreements so they only have to file one return. If you live in pennsylvania, work in new jersey, instead of paying new jersey and pennsylvania, you just pay pennsylvania. Gotcha. Works great as far as the individuals are concerned. You only have to file one return. Also works for the states, as long as their tax structures are relatively similar, as long as their rates are the same and such. So what happened over the past 40 years, after they entered into the agreement, pennsylvanias tax rate has stayed about the same, the 2 to 3 range. New jerseys has risen quite a bit at the upper end, now its almost 9 . Like most states, new jersey is experiencing budget deficits and looking for ways to raise more money, balance the budget. And one thing that came across was this reciprocal agreement. They did a study and saw that they were essentially losing 180 million a year because of this agreement. So under the agreement, either state could pull back or revoke the agreement with a certain amount of notice. Back in september, governor christie did that to try and raise that 180 million. What that means is, for that person who was in pennsylvania commuting to new jersey and just paying pennsylvania taxes, now theyll have to file new jersey returns, pay new jersey, and then take that credit mechanism. So were clear too, thats a 2 to 3 in pennsylvania. Now to a 9 in new jersey, which is triple the amount of money they would pay. Depending on upon how much youre making, yes. New jersey does have a graduated rate. So where is pennsylvanias has one flat rate of about 3 , the lowest rate in new jersey is just over 1 and the highest is 9. So it depends on where you fall. What this is really targeting were the highway travelers in bucks county who commute to new jersey, making high sixfigure, low sevenfigure incomes. This only applies to wages, not to other types of income like Partnership Income and such. Someone making 1 million a year, previously for 2016, lets say, they would not be paying new jersey anything. They would be paying about 30,000 to pennsylvania. Once the agreement goes away in 2017, what will happen is they will be paying about 80 to 90,000 to new jersey, take that as a credit in pennsylvania, basically pay pennsylvania nothing. Okay. You dont get refundable credit. It just offsets it. They may see their tax bill triple. As you mentioned in the opening, some of the folks going the other way may also be impacted, where if youve got somebody at the opposite end of the scale, more moderate income, maybe making 70,000 and commuting from new jersey to p. A. , may also be impacted. The way it is right now, those people only pay in new jersey. And because of those graduated rates, theyre paying about lets say 1300 a year. Once they start commuting to pennsylvania or paying pennsylvania tax, theyll be paying that at 3 , which is about 2100 a year. Then theyll get the credit to wipe out the new jersey taxes. Thats still an 800 increase for someone in lower income brackets, which can be a big hit for folks. It does impact people both ways, it just depends on where you all. Gary, thanks for joining me, i really appreciate your time. Next, a big honor for a woman who works hard to give back. Then alert ill introduce you to my puppy charlie and tell you why im putting him to work. . Id like to punch him in the face. I like people that werent captured, okay .

Each year the American Red Cross here in philadelphia honors people from our area who distinguish themselves as community leaders. People who are making contributions to improve the quality of life of others. With me now is one of this years honorees, she manages a banks commercial business for not for profit organizations, irene, thanks so much for joining me, congratulations on the lifetime achievement. Thank you very much. Why is it so important for businesses to give back in this way . Oh, thats an easy question. Where we work, where we live, those are our communities. And its very important to us to give back, to help those communities grow and prosper. There you go. How does your bank benefit from that, being within that community . Well, yeah, you know, were local. We serve the communities well, i believe. We had last year over 70,000 volunteer hours that our colleagues give back to the community. So we walk the talk. Its really about showing up and making a difference. I have to point this out, there arent many female executives in banking. First question is, why is that . And the second thing, how can it be changed . I dont think banking is very different than a lot of other industries and sectors, that its been a long struggle for women to have access, to reach their full potential. Were fortunate that at citizens bank, women are valued, and there have been opportunities created through mentorship, through various programs, to recognize the talent s of women and then reward them with appropriate positions in the bank. Have you taken particular interest in that . I have. I think my passion, when it comes to giving back to the community, has always been around helping girls and women having access, having the ability to tap into resources. Thats the only way theyre going to reach their full potential. For any young woman watching, maybe theyre high school or college age, or younger than that, in their teens, whats your advice for them as they embark on their career, whether its banking or otherwise . Sure. Its knowing what your opportunities are. I serve on the National Board of the girl scout organization. Opening things up for young girls, taking the blinders off and allowing them to see whats available, whats possible, looking for good role models, getting into programs where they can be mentored, and their skills and their talents can be developed. Thats the place to start. I volunteer for the red cross, i love doing it. What was it about the red cross that you fuound so appealing . Clearly its brand is so impressive. The people it touches, the way it really heals and helps communities is just in a class by itself. And at the bank, we got very interested in a program called no more death by fire. And we partnered with wawa to work on this and make available 6500 smoke detectors for individual homes so that people wont be trapped and we wont have unnecessary deaths through smoke inhalation and fire. So that to me really strikes home. It goes to the root and the heart of our community. Speaking of good people like yourself, we just honored the w. A. W. A. Ceo at a ceremony the other night, i was there. Thank you for your time, and congratulations on your lifetime achievements. I appreciate it very much, thank you. Sounds like its well deserved, not just for the people watching right now but the young women in the community and the ones who hear this broadcast. I appreciate it personally.
