YDR Insider

Here’s a look at our news budget at this hour for tomorrow’s paper. It also reflects much of what you’ll see on our website during the day.

Did you see any of the smoke from the fire in York’s Salem Square neighborhood last night? What do you think the punishment should be for those who set fire to the three homes, given that they were already scheduled to be demolished?
