This week, a local family is channeling grief into a mission to change college and university culture around the safety of off-campus housing.
LehighValleyNews.com managing producer Stephanie Sigafoos talks about Carly Grozier, a Bethlehem resident and Freedom High School graduate who died as the result of injuries suffered in a gas explosion at a rental property near West Virginia University.
That explosion was caused after an unlicensed contractor interfered with the gas lines in the home, a lawyer representing the family in a civil suit said.
Prosecutors in Monongalia County, West Virginia, also have filed criminal charges connected to the explosion — a step the family hopes will ensure something like this never happens again.
And, Megan talks to Northampton County reporter Ryan Gaylor as political leaders continue to descend upon the Lehigh Valley in the final weeks before the election.
It "sort of goes to show, I think, one, how close this race is and how competitive it is, and two, how important it is to potentially determining who controls the House of Representatives come next year."
