Happy Wednesday, readers! The latest print issue of the Norwood News is hitting the streets today, and it’s chock full of good stuff: an update on the living wage debate,  a look at the end of Clinton’s football season, a farewell to Sal of Sal’s Pizza fame (he’s retiring this week) and more. Pick up a copy today, but until then, here are some other noteworthy news stories to keep you in-the-know.

The latest twist in Bronx Councilman Larry Seabrook’s corruption trial: his former mistress, and the prosecution’s star witness, says she has early onset dementia.

Seabrook is accused of funneling public funds to groups where he employed his family and friends.

Bronx-based graffitti aritsts Tats Cru threatened Chrysler with a lawsuit for using one of their murals in the ad without permission. You can watch the commercial below:
