Heard on the Hill / in City Hall Cong. Bob Brady Hosts President, Veep WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama and VP Joe Biden are expected in Philadelphia next week, where they are scheduled to speak at House Democrats’ policy retreat in Society Hill.

Hosting the two-day gathering is Congressman Bob Brady (D-Phila.). It will bring the entire caucus to the city for two days of huddling about their strategy for the next two years.

Obama will speak today and Biden will speak tomorrow, the White House said. Politico first reported their plans.

Brady said his entire focus is on bringing the Democratic Presidential Convention to this City. Each day on the House floor, he said, he makes sure to find Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) – the chair of the Democratic National Committee – and give her a hug.

PLBC presents MLK Civil Rights Awards State Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown (D-W. Phila.), chairwoman of the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus, announced the recipients of its 2015 Civil Rights Achievement Awards ceremony last weekend in Philadelphia.

The 2015 honorees were: Dr. Charles Blockson, historian and author; Michael Coard, attorney and community leader; Christine Brown, social servant and community leader; Rev. Dr. Robert P. Shine, faith leader and community activist; and Dr. Joi Spraggins, diversity expert and community leader.

Farnese Carries Seven Committee Posts With seven State Senate committee assignments and a leadership role in one of them, State Sen. Larry Farnese (D-S. Phila.) said he expects to influence many bills that affect Pennsylvanians during the 2015-2016 legislative session.

Fighting to eliminate frivo-

lous lawsuits, reinstituting hatecrime protections, delivering commonsense gun solutions, and making it illegal to discriminate against someone because of their sexual orientation or identity promise to be high on Farnese’s agenda, the Senator said.

“This new session is more important than ever because it brings a new Governor and huge fiscal challenges,” Farnese said. “Philadelphians are telling me, and Pennsylvanians are telling other lawmakers, that it’s time we work for them.”

In addition to serving as the Democratic chairman of the Senate Communications & Technology Committee, Farnese will be a member of the Banking & Insurance; Community, Economic & Recreational Development; Consumer Protection & Professional Licensure; Judiciary; Rules & Executive Nominations; and Policy Committees.

Sen. Kitchen, Fox Chase Offer Free Mammograms State Sen. Shirley Kitchen (D-N. Phila.) and the Fox Chase Cancer Center will once again offer free mammograms to women.

The Jan. 31 event will open at 9 a.m. at the Senator’s district office, 1701 W. Lehigh Avenue. Participants must register as space is limited.

“Breast cancer continues to be one of the leading causes of death among women,” Kitchen said. “So we must continue doing all that we can to help women without insurance or the means to get a mammogram – get one.”

Women who would like to receive a mammogram during the event must not have had one since Jan. 31, 2014.

Women who would like to make an appointment should call Debra Resnick at Fox Chase, (215) 214-1682.

Sen. Tartaglione Again Chairs Labor & Industry Committee

State Sen. Christine M. Tartaglione (D-Kensington) will once again hold an influential seat to continue fighting for labor rights and an increase in the minimum wage as the Democratic chair of the Senate Labor & Industry Committee.

“Serving as the Democratic chair of this important panel ensures that thousands of working Pennsylvanians, including many who work for the lowest of wages, will continue to have a voice in Harrisburg,” Tartaglione said. “I am hopeful that a pledge of greater bipartisanship and a Governor who supports a higher minimum wage will combine with my fervent desire to increase Pennsylvania’s minimum wage soon.”

Tartaglione said she will introduce her new minimum wage package of proposals later this month. In addition to Labor & Industry, the six-term lawmaker will serve on Appropriations, Banking & Insurance, Law & Justice, Policy, and Veterans Affairs & Emergency Preparedness committees.

Acosta Gets Grant For Fairhill Project State Rep. Leslie Acosta (DN. Phila.) announced Jarynn, LP will receive $3.5 million in state funding for soil and water improvement projects at a new retail shopping-center site in Fairhill.

The developer is receiving the low-interest loan from the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority, known as Pennvest.

Acosta said the funding will help install a cap and cover over contaminated soil at the Plaza Allegheny site, and excavate and relocate affected soil to more-secure areas on the property. It also will be used to implement above-ground and subsurface stormwater-infiltration systems.

“This project will not only help improve water quality directly on site, but it’s expected to have a positive impact on stormwater and groundwater

throughout the city as well,” Acosta said. “I am pleased the state is assisting in the development of this important initiative, which also has the potential to provide an economic boost to our community.”

Donatucci Named To Key House Committees

are welcome to bring a donation during the town hall. We will be happy to add it to our growing contributions,” she added.

No RSVP is required, but those with questions can call the district office at (215) 4828726.

Neilson Wants Special Committee On Income

State Rep. Maria Donatucci (D-S. Phila.) has been named to several important standing committees in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the 2015-16 legislative session.

“I believe my committee appointments match both my interests and the needs of the 185th Legislative Dist.,” Donatucci said. “I look forward to working with my colleagues on these panels to help advance the issues most important to our constituents.”

Donatucci was named to the House Appropriations, Labor & Industry, Liquor Control, Transportation, and Veterans Affairs & Emergency Preparedness committees. She will also serve as a member of the House Democratic Policy Committee and will retain her post as a Deputy Whip of the House Democratic Caucus.

Councilman at Large Ed Neilson is calling for the creation of a special City Council Committee on Income Inequality.

Income inequality refers to how income is unevenly distributed across a regional or national economy and highlights the gap between the households earning a higher proportion of the nation’s income and those earning the least.

Census data indicated 26.5% of Philadelphians live below the poverty level and struggle to afford basic needs such as housing, nutritious foods, child care and transportation. Income inequality is increasing in Philadelphia while Pennsylvania was one of 15 states in which the gap between rich and poor continued to widen through 2013.

DeLissio’s 42nd Town Hall Jan. 31

Council Members Support ‘Opting Out’

State Rep. Pamela A. DeLissio (D-Northwest) will host her January town hall focusing on Pennsylvania’s new legislative session and the new governor’s administration at 10 a.m. Jan. 31 at the Cathedral Village’s Cathedral Hall Auditorium, 600 E. Cathedral Road.

This town hall will be in a new part of the redistricted 194th Legislative Dist. and as always, DeLissio said she welcomes all constituents from all areas of the district to attend.

“We are also continuing to collect for our food drive to boost the food cupboards and pantries in the 194th. We are collecting non-perishables and canned goods through the month of February, and you

7th Dist. Councilwoman María Quiñones Sánchez, 1st Dist. Councilman Mark Squilla and 3rd Dist. Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell expressed support for families who have chosen to “opt out” of standardized testing. “Until we put some limits on this obsession with testing students, we will see protests like that at Feltonville,” said Quiñones Sánchez.

“We stand with families who are making the choice they believe is best for their children,” said Squilla.

Parents of 17% of students enrolled in the Feltonville School of Arts & Sciences have decided their children will not participate in standardized testing this year.

Kenney Makes Leap

by Joe Shaheeli Council President Darrell Clarke’s decision not to run for Mayor, followed by former City Solicitor Ken Trujillo’s surprise decision to withdraw as well, was followed by Councilman at Large Jim Kenney’s expression of strong interest in the mayoral race. He made it official Tuesday. He is now in it and today in City Council will make his last speech to his colleagues in Council, formally ending 23

Kelvin Jeremiah President & CEO

JIM KENNEY …making it exciting years of service in that legislative body.

During his tenure in city government, Kenney championed progressive causes and stood up for working families.

He fought to protect the bargaining rights of police and firefighters, passed groundbreaking legislation that guaranteed broad protections for LGBTQ citizens, advocated for Philadelphia as a top destination for new immigrants to help stop our city’s population loss, and never backed down from confronting Philadelphia’s most-pressing challenges.

Giving him the leverage he needed to make the decision for this race, he has worked toward for several years, is re-

portedly Workers Stand for America, a PAC of local labor leaders including Local 98’s John Dougherty.

This leaves the last shoe to fall on Controller Alan Butkovitz’s foot. He reportedly will make clear his decision this coming week. His entry could enhance State Sen. Anthony Hardy Williams’ (D-W. Phila.) frontrunner position.

Williams hasn’t slowed in his efforts to become the Democratic Primary winner for Mayor. He could be the lone African American with substance in the race when filing closes. To his credit, are the endorsements he already has from much of organized labor and Congressman and Party Chair Bob Brady. For the last year, he has addressed several hundred groups on every level of economic and social interest around the city.

In the race and going all out are District Attorney Lynne M. Abraham and former Common Pleas Court Judge Nelson A. Diaz. Supposedly on target to announce for Mayor Feb. 7 is Doug Oliver, a former aide to Mayor Nutter, who has resigned from PGW. (Cont. Next Page)

Candidates love the web. It costs nothing or just pennies (and that’s only if you need someone to drive your webpage for you). But today, you can’t rely on it any longer.

Incumbents are now victims.

Challengers also find they’ve been screwed if they first announce their intention to run for election, then plan a webpage.

The most obvious website such as their “name.com” is already on the web, but it goes elsewhere, For instance, Ori Feibushwhacked Councilman Kenyatta Johnson on the net. All Kenyatta possible routes lead to Ori. He’s not the only savvy appreciative individual understanding the value of web manipulation.

A new millennial PAC, the 5th Square, has cyber-whacked or squatted City Council Members. Don’t expect to find Councilman Jannie Blackwell.com when you go to that sight, nor MarkSquilla.com at what should be his website and so on for Curtis Thomas, Maria Quiñones Sánchez, Marian Tasco, Wilson Goode, Jr., and Blondell Reynolds Brown.

All URLs now forward visitors to 5thSq.com. So do BillGreenleeForCityCouncil.com, AnthonyWilliamsForMayor.com and even PhiladelphiaCityCouncil.org.

David Curtis, co-founder of The 5th Square, confirms the PAC purchased the sites at the end of last year. Curtis says the PAC is thinking about redirecting the sites in the future to “report cards” that it is planning to draw up for the mayoral and Council candidates in the Mary May 19th primary election.

All is fair in love, war, and politics. He’s quoted on a website “Citified.”

“They were there and they were cheap and we thought they were valuable assets,” he says.

The Philadelphia Public Record has learned port authorities fully expect 2014 stats will mark the fifth consecutive year of double-digit cargo growth at the Port of Philadelphia, with a variety of cargoes, including containers, experiencing big gains.

“With cargo-building initiatives like our channel-deepening and Southport projects now aggressively moving forward, it is gratifying to see once again, that cargo continues to grow even before these big projects are completed,” said PRPA Exec. Dir. James T. McDermott, Jr. “I congratulate our terminal operators, port staff, our expert labor force, and all the other maritime industry personnel who contributed to making 2014 another great year for us.”

Like many ports, PRPA’s terminals lost some cargo in

the wake of the national economic downturn of 2008. But a combination of port capital improvements and aggressive marketing on the part of PRPA and its terminal operators started turning things around.

The result? A 14% jump in cargo in 2010 (with 3,628,312 metric tons handled), a 10% gain in 2011 (4,001,759 tons handled), and 11% gain in 2012 (4,431,214 tons), a 15% gain in 2013 (5,100,385 total tons), and an expected 17% gain last year, with PRPA expecting to report total tonnage approaching 6,000,000 tons handled.

Watch this space for a more-detailed report on PRPA’s 2014 tonnage, complete with performance levels for individual cargoes. And be sure to check the Public Record on a regular basis for more exciting news about today’s Port of Philadelphia.

When RT drew his cartoon for this week’s editorial page, we taught we’d be snowed in and it would fit. It still does … if you’re in New England.

But in your mind, change snowballs to mudballs – and that is increasingly what has been happening in the world of Pennsylvania politics. The sneak balls use the web’s social-media byways to spread innuendoes and sometimes outright lies about opponents.

Though the charges against someone are unfounded, those charges smear not only the target, but the target’s opponent, which, in the case of the special Mar. 24 election for the 170th Dist., is not true.

Both candidates are innocent.

So to the inhabitants of this city and state’s political world, we tell you now: Stop the kid stuff. We won’t be carrying it, and if we don’t, no other media will spread your falsehoods either.

KATHLEEN KANE was granted a reprieve this week by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. The Court ordered Montgomery County DISTRICT ATTORNEY RISA FERMAN to halt any investigations into whether the Attorney General’s office illegally shared secret investigative information about the then-President of the Philadelphia NAACP JERRY MONDESIRE with a newspaper. The Court said it would review the legality of a Montgomery County judge’s appointment of THOMAS CARLUCCIO to investigate the AG’s office. If the justices decide the appointment was illegal, as Kane’s attorneys contend, it would undermine the grand jury’s basis to recommend the charges against Kane. That would not mean Kane would be in the clear. Another investigation could be conducted. I understand the 80-page Montgomery County grand jury indictment does not portray Kane in a good light.

Kane is back at work and has decided to defend GOV. TOM WOLF’S firing of ERIK ARNESON, the state’s executive director of the Office of Open Records. The State Senate Republican Caucus initiated the suit. The suit contends that executive director of the Office of Open Record is a fixed six-year appointment. I understand Wolf may not be happy that then-GOV. TOM CORBETT made the appointment after he lost the election to Wolf. But it appears Corbett had every right to do so. Arneson was recently an aide to STATE SEN. DOMINIC PILEGGI, and is apparently is well respected by the journalistic community in Harrisburg, (Cont. Page 15)

When Philadelphia went looking for a new Mayor eight years ago, the Democratic primary was chock full of people.

Among the folks applying for the office on the Second Floor of City Hall were State Rep. Dwight Evans, businessman Tom Knox, Congressmen Chaka Fattah and Bob Brady, and then-City Councilman Michael Nutter.

There were a lot of assumptions that people made about this race. One assumption was that the Black vote would be so split up that one of the two white candidates would get the Big Chair.

What those making that assumption didn’t count on was (a) The mistrust Evans had earned due to some of the stuff he did as a State Rep, like giving control of the School District of Philadelphia to the Commonwealth; (b) Fattah running a lackluster campaign; (c) Brady being mistrusted by the very whites he needed to win; and (d) Knox being unable to win enough votes through spaghetti dinners alone.

Most Blacks voted for Nutter, who eventually became Mayor.

I bring this up because I’m starting to notice some of the same assumptions are being made in this year’s Mayor’s race.

There are three Black candidates: Street; Doug Oliver, former VP of communications for the Philadelphia Gas Works; and State Sen. Anthony Hardy Williams; one Latino candidate, former Court of Common Pleas Judge Nelson Diaz; one white woman, former District Attorney Lynne Abraham, and…

City Councilman Jim Kenney, the White Guy of Campaign 2015.

Some folks will look at that sentence and swear up and down that I’m being racist.

(Cont. Page 18)

Yo! Here we go again with this unbelievable, absolutely true story heard on a Wisconsin radio station. It was sent to me by Florence, a loyal reader.

A guy buys a new Lincoln Navigator for $42,500 with monthly payments of $560. He and a friend go duck-hunting in upper Wisconsin. It’s midwinter and of course all of the lakes are frozen.

These two guys go out on the thick lake ice with their guns, a dog, and of course the new Navigator. They decide they want to make a natural-looking open water area for the ducks to focus on, something for the decoys to float on.

Now, making a hole in the ice large enough to invite a passing duck is going to take a little more power than the average ice-drill auger can produce. So out of the back of the new Navigator comes a stick of dynamite with a short 40-second fuse. Our two Rocket Scientists, afraid they might slip on the ice while trying to run away after lighting the fuse, decide on the following course of action: they light the 40-second fuse; then, with a mighty thrust, they throw the stick of dynamite as far away as possible.

Remember a couple of paragraphs back when I mentioned the Navigator, the guns, and the dog? Let’s talk about the dog: A highly trained black Lab used for retrieving; especially things thrown by the owner. You guessed it: The dog takes off across the ice at a high rate of speed and grabs the stick of dynamite, with the burning 40-second fuse just as it hits the ice.

The two men swallow, blink, start waving their arms and, with veins in their necks swelling till they look like stalks of rhubarb, scream and holler at the dog to stop. The dog, now apparently cheered on by his master, keeps coming. One hunter panics, grabs the shotgun and shoots the dog. Even though he missed, the shotgun is loaded with #8 bird shot, hardly big enough to stop a black Lab. The dog stops for a moment, slightly confused, and then continues on. Another shot, and this time the dog, still standing, becomes really confused and, of course terrified, thinks these two geniuses have gone insane! The dog takes off to find cover, under the brand-new Navigator.

The men continue to scream as they run. The red-hot exhaust pipe on the truck touches the dog’s rear end. He yelps, drops the dynamite under the truck and takes off after his master.

THE GOP blew up over Gov. TOM Wolf’s dismissal of Republican state workers. Geez? Can’t take it? I heard gripes for so many years that Democrat Governors never fired the GOP when they took office – but the GOP always fired Democrats. I used to hear media complaining about the Office of “Closed” Records as well. So I say TOO BAD!...

TOO GOOD is the feeling of the School Reform Commission’s rebuke over teachers and the PFT. I AM TIRED of stockholders complaints they cannot make money with oil prices falling. I once wrote that ordinary Americans would fare well with $2-a-gallon gas. The SAUDIS’ (supposedly an ally that we fought a war to protect) oil overproduction is designed to create too much supply and smaller demand, and shut down some US drilling sites; but demand will catch up, and gas could rise to $2.15 or $3.00+ per thousand cubic feet. The worst is that the Shale Oil party during the Pennsylvania Society weekend will cut back on the Caviar.

HOW ABOUT that editorial that displayed the number of years members of CITY COUNCIL have served – and pitched for new blood! Weird – almost half the Council is new blood.

The article named some of the new candidates; so let’s wait and see if they endorse those persons after their exhaustive interviews of ALL candidates. Yes, that would be UNFAIR ADVANTAGE. The writers should look at themselves and how long they have been on the job – and RESIGN to set the example.

WHAT ABOUT the article that called on the next Mayor and Council to keep the Nutter ethics reforms? SCRAP (Cont. Page 18)

It was an exciting week in the mayoral race. There have been some new twists and turns since COUNCIL PRESIDENT DARRELL CLARKE decided not to run.

Now well-liked COUNCILMAN JIM KENNEY has said he’s getting into the race. As of this report, he has not yet officially declared but the odds are 98% that he will.

Kenney’s entrance would likely be a deathblow to former DISTRICT ATTORNEY LYNNE ABRAHAM. He cuts directly into her base of support which is essentially ethnic whites and Jewish voters. He always runs strong in those demographics and is a fresher name on the ballot. Abraham has been somewhat out of the loop and is working on reestablishing her familiarity across the city. Kenney’s entrance also eliminates the reentry possibilities of ALAN BUTKOVITZ. At the end of the day, Kenney is likely still a long shot to win and essentially helps the candidacy of STATE SEN. ANTHONY WILLIAMS. Williams has gradually moved closer to being perceived as the frontrunner. It remains to be seen if lightweight African American candidates such as MILTON STREET and JOHN OLIVER cause any real problems to that status. First those candidates have to actually announce.

So what factors influence Kenney’s decision to get into the race? Some speculate the departure of KEN TRUJILLO contributed to his thought process. But for the most part Trujillo was not a real contender in any way, shape or form. He was endorsed by ED RENDELL, but that’s about all he had going for him. He reportedly was willing to spend his own personal fortune; but look what happened to TOM KNOX several years ago: $10 million got him second place.

TOM WOLF did an above-average job at his inauguration speech. And the inaugural ball that was supposed to be “scaled down” was far better than the TOM CORBETT snoozefest of previous years.

Among those enjoying the party were JUDGE FAYE STACK, whose son MICHAEL was sworn in as a Lieutenant Governor, and TEESA DONNELLY and her husband ED. Ed Donnelly is related to the famous JAMES DONNELLY who helped build Roofers Union (Cont. Page 18)

This is called lien stripping.

You cannot do this to a mortgage in a Chapter 7 case.

However, if there is even a penny of value in the home that would go to a second mortgage when the property was sold, the loan cannot be valued as unsecured. That means it must be paid during the Chapter 13 case and it also survives the Chapter 13 as a lien on the property until it’s

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale Philadelphia - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale.

Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in

terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable preinspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones.

To help homesellers deal

with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved.

To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-805-5106 and enter 1003 . You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The Mayor's Office of Community Empowerment & Opportunity is developing a citywide early learning plan for children from birth to five.

Eva Gladstein, director, says a child’s first few years are critical to his or her longterm education and earning, but many Philadelphia families struggle to provide children with the start they need.

Understanding parent attitudes and receiving feedback from others with a stake in early learning is of utmost importance to the development of this plan. The city invites parents of young children to complete a brief 10-minute survey to best ensure the needs of the early learning community are identified and addressed in the plan.

by Michael A. Cibik, Esq. American Bankruptcy Board Certified Question: Chapter 13 bankruptcy time bomb: mortgage modification.

Answer: One of the major benefits of Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the ability to avoid second mortgages that are not secured by any value in your home. By following standards outlined in the Bankruptcy Code, you can reclassify that loan on your home into the same category as credit cards

allow you to avoid that second mortgage and gain the benefit of a Chapter 13 case.

Let’s assume you’ve been dealing with your lender, trying to work out a modification of your first mortgage. Well, what if your lender were to give you a modification, which reduces your principal balance?

That modification now results in a little equity in your home. Sounds like good news, right? Nope.

The reduction in the principal balance gives your second mortgage a toe-hold onto your home. Once that happens, the Bankruptcy Code will not

MIXMASTER MIKE Mayor Nutter’s Federal Priority Part 193/200

Mayor Michael Nutter recently told a presidential task force that cities need (federal) help fighting “neighborhood terrorists.” He also may be a proponent of the same ingredient that stirred the pot that fomented local terrorists to react to unharmonious, or terroristic sounds. He said: “We have homegrown, neighborhood terrorists who terrorize our children when they go to school every day, who terrorize our old folks.. and terrorize folks who are just going to work.”

In a former sideline, the mayor was a disk jockey, known as “Mixmaster Mike.”

Under his controlled sounds, certain individuals may have become “neighborhood terrorists” that today, the mayor is against.

Reinforcing an ignorance about bringing quality music to the people, his honor laid the foundation for pied piper “JAY Z” and his gang of rappers/noisicians to serenade Philadelphians on national holidays in 2013 and 2014, i.e., bookings on July 4th and Labor Day. “For the songs we sing are results of such, or are the results of such from the songs we sing.”

They contend this action set the precedent for any Governor to fire the executive director of the Office of Open Record who issues rulings the Governor dislikes. Arneson contends he can only be fired for cause and does not believe that is the case now. The intent behind the six-year term for the position is to overlap Governors’ terms as a means to depoliticize the position.

Wolf claimed he would bring a fresh start to the Governor’s office and not be a typical politician.

But this looks awfully political to me, and this is not the only Corbett appointment he rescinded.

Oddly enough, we heard Kane say something of the same ilk.

She asked that we elect her because she is a prosecutor and not a politician. She released the names of Republicans involved in an email-related pornography scandal, but not the names of Democrats involved. She investigated then-AG Corbett’s investigation of the Sandusky case. When her investigator showed Corbett’s AG office did its job on the Sandusky case, she tried to refute the findings.

Both Wolf and Kane had limited public-sector experience, so when they claimed that they were not your typical politicians, many believed them. It took a little while for Kane to show her true stripes. Wolf has done it rather quickly. Back in town, ROBERT INMAN, of Penn’s prestigious Wharton School, confirmed a bill introduced by COUNCILMAN

LEADER CHRIS VOGLER introduced him. Republican City Committee Chairman and STATE REP. JOHN TAYLOR spoke of Tinney and noted that he would be a fine City Councilman. The Business Manager of Local 420 of the Steamfitters Union, ANTHONY GALLAGHER, also addressed the crowd.

TERRY TRACY will make his formal announcement for his candidacy for City Council AtLarge at 5:30 on Feb. 4 at the Dwight D. Hotel. Tracy was the

DAVID OH in a Council Committee hearing yesterday to reduce wage- and earnings-tax rates would bring a parallel increase in jobs in this city. He stated, “Our stable share is sensitive to increases in the City’s wage-tax rates, however. Beginning in 1996, the City began a 14-year planned reduction in both the resident and non-resident wage-tax rates. That reduction in rates saved the city’s economy 38,911 jobs (an average of 2,800 jobs per year), or about 7% of city jobs at the beginning of the tax cut.” It looks like the present administration will oppose it. But this time around, Oh seems to have enough of his fellow Council Members to override a veto. Other testifiers supporting bill included PAUL LEVY, STEPHEN BRADLEY and JERRY SWEENEY, people in the know.

DAN TINNEY announced his candidacy for City Council at Large last Saturday at Cannstatter in the Northeast. Tinney is a steamfitter and a graduate of Archbishop Ryan HS and Penn State University. The event was well attended. Local WARD

WALKING (Cont. From Page 12) THEM and their bloated bureaucracy! It stated no candidates have put forth a platform of ethics initiatives.

When was that required? It mentioned that development increased, thanks to good Nutter ethics enforcement, and that development was minimal during the Street administration.

STREET took down most of our vacant homes for infill development to occur. Plus the real-estate abatement is a REAL incentive. You have a Chief Integrity Office, Inspector General, and Ethics Board – with staff and salaries, pen-

sions and BENEFITS. I used to meet a former City IG at the Police Chiefs’ meeting. He told me he got by with a STAFF OF TWO. If we have too many inspectors tripping over each other, it could give an impression to developers that municipal workers are DISHONEST (?). They are NOT! Unless you investigate the case of one worker who had her Jello taken from the department refrigerator.

When I cross the Walt Whitman Bridge, I think of the tremendous job done by Ironworkers Local 401, removing the stress of crossing that beat-up span. Then the guilty verdict of Joe DOUGHERTY troubles

me. The jury had problems.

The prosecution did not prove any connection of Joe to the violence, to me, as I sat there.

I wrote a few quotes from singing witnesses that stated no connection, yet they NEVER were in the press (?). Joe was opposed to violence. He stayed in the office, an administrator type. APPEAL that verdict!

The sentencing of Judge WATERS went smoothly. Defense counsel said it best of Joe: “People are more than the worst thing that they have done in their lives....” In the MULGREW sentencing, after the judge heard and read hundreds of pleas for clemency, his verdict pronouncement was long,

wordy, and seemed prepared and plastic, as he spoke of a “Traffic Court culture.” I remembered a State Senator who said Traffic Court was corrupt for 50 years. He was 46 when he said it, and deducting years for youth, and time in DIAPERS, he might have observed the court for say 26 years?

The OBSESSION of the media with Kathleen KANE has gotten old. The posting online after each article have begun to turn in SUPPORT of KANE, and bewilderment as to why the press pursues her. Should the publisher tell us if that is their policy (?). It is NOT Pulitzer material....

WELL DONE to Bernice HILL, who REBUILT a

BRENDAN BOYLE. DelRicci is a lovely and charismatic community activist. She owns a therapeutic riding farm in the Parkwood section of Philadelphia, where she specializes in connecting autistic children with riding horses.

Her husband JOHN was thought to be the likely nominee but decided that SARAH would guarantee victory against a well-funded Republican woman candidate. Insiders believe the only way Sarah DelRicci has a challenge is if an independent candidacy

takes Democratic votes away and gives them to the Republican. Otherwise the Democrat should have smooth sailing.

JOHN SABATINA, JR. was chosen to succeed former State Sen. and now Lt. Gov. Mike Stack. Although the ward leaders were divided on their choice of candidate, Sabatina won the nomination by over 60 divisions. FOP PRESIDENT JOHN MCNESBY received a substantial number of votes but not anywhere near enough to win the nomination. Nonetheless, all

the ward leaders who participated committed to work together to support the nominee.

City Chairman CONGRESSMAN BOB BRADY was on hand to ensure unity.

Among the ward leaders participating were COUNCILMAN BOBBY HENON, MIKE McALEER, PAT PARKINSON, SHAWN DILLON, JOHN SABATINA, SR., CONNIE DOUGHERTY, LORI BEDNAREK, ALAN BUTKOVITZ and Mike Stack.

OUT & ABOUT (Cont. From Page 12) But I’m only repeating what the African American Political Chattering Class has been saying since Kenney hinted at his mayoral ambitions during an interview with host Vincent Thompson on 900-AM WURD’s “City Council Live” broadcast.

If we look at electoral history, Kenney’s presence is designed not to mobilize whites, but to mobilize Blacks enough

of luck.... Did you read of the search for the best ROAST PORK sandwich in Philly?

They did not look into South Philly and to the North? What happened to Shank’s on Delaware Avenue, or Porky’s Point in the Barrio?

Some $3,200 was missing from DRPA coffers, which is blamed on TEMP workers, so the hiring agency will repay it. No need to prosecute; why not? No doubt temp workers are a cost efficiency.

But we have to TRUST our regulars and hire more of them! Can’t wait until State Auditor General Eugene DE PASQUALE takes the DRPA helm! His representative Johnny DOC has been holding the fort well. to go to the Black candidates and say, “If one of you doesn’t drop out, the vote will split and the white boy will get in!”

It also assumes Philadelphians of color won’t vote for a white candidate, something that Kenney dismisses.

“I reject the racial mathematics of elections,” he said in a press conference announcing his intentions.

But I’m sure the people who have convinced him to run have figured out the math.

It’s going to be interesting to see who’s right.
