viable for as long as possible, and it was honestly when i got home that it dawned on me, wait, this affects me, too, very immediately, i'm a single mom, i have children. >> reporter: staff like evette are weathering the tough times, but could this have a long-term impact beyond money? do you think that will affect your ability to recruit people in the future? >> i think it's going to be a question people will ask about security and stability, but i think that's a question they would ask of any nonprofit they walk into. >> reporter: after this. >> yes. >> reporter: as far as funding goes, i spoke with the governor's office today, they tell me when a budget is passed, their hope is they could release those funds within days. however, it is unclear whether that money would come all at once or in installments. congresso, for example, they are owed more than $3 million. live in germantown, lauren mayk, nbc 10 news. >> thank you, lauren. to this now, a man who robbed and killed a philadelphia police officer will spend 20 to

40 years in prison. mcfarland learned his sentence today, he took a plea deal, admitting to his role in the robbery and murder of officer moses walker jr. that happened back in august of 2012. walker was in plain clothes and walking home from his shift when he was shot and killed during a hold-up. he was a 19-year veteran of the police force. mcfarland's co-defendant rafael jones was convicted and serving a life sentence. prosecutors say jones was the triggerman. to decision 2016. you'll see some changes tonight in the fourth republican presidential candidate debate. >> the field is narrowing slightly. eight candidates will appear on the main stage with four more debating before the main event. candidates donald trump and ben carson are tied in a new national poll and some expect trump will go after carson's credibility as it relates to his life story. >> joining us now live in the digital operations center is

legal and political analyst jim schultz. he was regional field director for the bush/cheney presidential campaign in 2004 and served as general counsel to the commonwealth of pennsylvania under governor tom corbett and works for the u.s. attorney for the eastern district of pennsylvania. first and foremost, thank you for your time here. let's talk about governor chris christie first, he's local, many people think he should give up his campaign because he's been relegated to the pre-debate debate, do you think this is the end for governor christie? >> i don't think so. i'm sure being dumped from the main stage impacted his campaign staff and probably didn't sit well with them, but the governor seemed unfazed by it. in fact, it could present an opportunity for him to take the big personality to a smaller stage and be the topic of discussion going into the main debate this evening. it's kind of like a major league baseball player being sent down to the minors. he's got to get some big hits tonight in order to get back to

the big leagues and he's certainly up to the task. the other question, how much impact this will have on the main stage tonight with christie and huckabee moving down to the earlier debate. i think it provides an opportunity for folks like marco rubio to continue to surge and continuing to surge both nationally and in pennsylvania, and it's also going to provide an opportunity for governor kasich to surge, as well, and he's been a very substantiative guy on the issues and he's going to have a lot of opportunity to show that again tonight. >> jim, i also want to talk to you about ben carson. this past week he's been very vocal defending accusations about his personal story. it's really the first we've seen in terms of that side of dr. carson, somebody pushing back, maybe being a little more aggressive. will we see more of it tonight? >> i think we'll see real entertainment between donald trump and ben carson and begin to see whether ben carson has the meddle to handle the job of president going through this process and the scrutiny. >> let's talk about donald trump

here, just entertainment at this point? that's the first time we've brought his name up here tonight. does he have a chance here now that that lead of his is down neck and neck to dr. ben carson? >> we're seeing a number of candidates to surge, including marco rubio and i think we'll also see tonight ben carson is also now really coming in to play and i think that he's going to, you know, be more vocal this evening taking on donald trump. and donald trump will be donald trump. he'll be entertaining as usual. not sure how much substance he'll have, but certainly be entertaining and that's what brings ratings, right? >> jim schultz, thanks for being with us this evening, we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. we transition to this now, a birthday today for the united states marine corps. 240 years ago the continental congress established two groups of marines that could fight on land and sea. 1,200 men were in the corps in 1775.
