Vaughn spencer was bribing the president of city council Francisco Acosta to draft legislation to repeal an anticorruption statute. In allentown city hall a larger scheme, six people close to the mayor pleaded guilty k u including mike fleck. How did they work . In one incidence they said she moved a woman from her job because she did not favor a company because she did not pay to play. And they destroyed her score sheet and changed the numbers so the preferred company won the bid. An entirely rigged process. The popular mayor not stepping down and saying he is continuing his campaign for a fourth term in office. Late this afternoon he said this. I have done nothing wrong. Nor have i ever personally accepted a dime beyond my salary as mayor and not accepted anything but legal cam pennsylvania contributions and no way shape or form was city hall ever up for sale. So, the mayor will stay the course. And run for reelection here despite that some one time Close Associates may testify against him. He did not take questions, his well known attorney, jack mcmahon did talk to reporters today his contention is based on the testimony of two individuals including mr. Fleck the political consultant and what they did they did it without the mayors knowledge that he had no idea that these sorts of crimes may have been going on. John rawlins, channel 6 action news. All right thank you. Now, to developing news in washington. In the past hour, the senate rejected a gop proposal to repeal the Affordable Care act and give congress two years to figure out a replacement. Failed after the socalled repail and replace bill was also shut down, now Senate Republicans are expected to launch into a voting frenzy dismantling parts of president obamas health care law. And now the fallout to major change to military policy. Trump says that transgender people will no longer be allowed to serve in the military and lawmaker are responding to the sudden notice. We are tracking reaction and are joined with more from washington. Reporter this is a major reversal from president obamas policy that caught capitol hill and the pentagon off guard. The president twitter feed overshadowing Senate Republicans efforts to overhaul obama care. Announcing 140 characters at a time that the u. S. Government will not allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the u. S. Military citing tremendous medical costs and disruptions. I want a strong vibrant military and to be fair and the best way is to have a hearing not a tweet. The white house insists this was a military decision and not the an easy one to make. Its an expensive and disruptive policy. Some are welcoming the change. We cant afford 1. 5 billion over the years to go to sex reassignment surgery. I think its shameful to divide americans in the face of their service and sacrifice for his political gain. The change is a huge blow to president obamas legacy of reversing sexual discrimination in the arms forces and 69 years after Harry Trueman deseg rated the military. Doing it on the 69th anniversary of president truthans integration of the military say particular slap in the face. Choosing those that serve on other grounds, is social policy and has no place in our military. Channel 6 action news. Back to you. Thank you.

Right now three occasion county beaches are closed because of elevated bacteria. Recent storms are to blame. Nora muchanic has more on what this means. In beachwood, ocean county swimling is off limits to becamers because of high bacteria levels in the water, this beach along the toms river will not be open until it doesnt have a threat to make people sick. We know the water has concentrations this high would be a threat to public health. One of three currently closed in ocean county. Another 31 beaches in ocean and cape may counties are under advisory because the bacteria counts exceeded the limits and the recent rains are likely to blame and the runoff flushes out storm Water Systems dumping chemicals and bird droppings into the water. On pine beach road the levels are ten times the acceptable limit they found just two people on the beach. Definitely not good, it doesnt sound safe. I had no idea they said its alarming and should have a sign up to warn people. I dont want to go in there and i dont want to get in. Water quality is testifying every week at 200 ocean and bay beach as long the coast and tourism is big business if new jersey and having clean safe swimming water is a must if the Ocean County Health department does some sampling for the state. The beach is closed if two consecutive samples exceeds the state standards. We take it in two places to give us a bigger sample size good i hope they keep testing and they know and have a choice.

He learned how to handle the gator and took matters into his own hands to rescue the gator and wrestled it down and taped the mouth shot and brought it to a body of water for safe relief. How about that. Wow. Health check tonight zika virus is making headlines, the texas may have the first days of the virus spread by a local mosquito. Ali gorman is at big board with the details.
