I'd be inclined to watch that.

I'd rather watch this than the ballet at the academy of music.

Well... I think of that lot my top choice is my councilman, Curtis Jones.

I think the more serious candidates talk about the funding crisis and tell those harder truths about it. I think the more in touch someone is with the reality of it the more likely the problem is to get solved.

> I also like the focus she puts on Philly's school system

Well, for what it's worth, without fixing the state's school funding formula, that's probably not getting fixed either. There's been some progress on that front through the courts, but the mayor and city council don't have much power to fix that. Hell, we didn't even have a locally controlled schoolboard until very recently.

Honestly, this has been who she's been all along. Those of us in progressive circles who have known her for years know she's more about attention than substance and action.

Everyone called that one before this info came out... Of course they're from fucking delco coming to Philly to destroy shit.

At this point more people are interested in MLS than NHL. So... OK, then I guess NHL isn't a major sport.

The other thing I'll point out about the sneaky primary ballot questions... Independent turnout during primaries is very low, and most independents I've talked to about ballot questions have no fucking clue they can even vote for anything during a primary.

Contact PUC and your state rep's office.

I just suspect she didn't think anyone would notice and she'd be able to keep up her act of just talking big.

The job of controller is specifically to audit and expose government waste. Unfortunately, she found a lot of it because Butkovitz, her predecessor, did not do that job for a decade. The controller, by the nature of the position, cannot implement anything, only audit and report.

Are you suggesting that Kenney was NOT wasting city resources and inept?

> She also made a meaningless statement in support of the "Save the Meadows" campaign at FDR Park,

The thing is, environmentally, "Save the meadows" is NOT a good thing, that land is not naturally a meadow. So even in her performative action, she was wrong.

Noone outside of her little circle of admirers (And they're fervent) likes her.

She's all about the Helen Gym show.

We had some great times with Andy, he was a great coach for the birds. I have nothing but respect for him. I know this is going to be a good game. The chiefs have been my AFC team ever since Andy went down there. But I hope we stomp the chiefs. Until the end of the super bowl fuck Andy!

I remember seeing it in the 90s when I was a kid and the terrible tape now that you mention it.

Mainline health has been good for that for me. My doctor (Dr. Picciano) is great, and her practice has a few doctors, so if you don't absolutely need to see YOUR doctor you can get in with a day or two notice.

I'm pretty sure it's a decoy thing. It's not so bad if someone climbs the poles, so they're giving people ideas and making it a bit more difficult so they can spend more time doing it.

All I'm saying is Frank Lloyd Wright builds a house with a creek in it and everyone celebrates it, and it's a tourist attraction. You get a house with a creek in West Philly, and all of the sudden, it's a problem. People are so unappreciative of our homegrown modern urban architecture.

Kenney is probably worse on that front, given his ties to Johnny Dock

Yes, most of it. Fishtown was a place you wouldn't go in the 90s for example. That started to change under street

Street lead Philadelphia into the reduction of crime and redevelopment in the early 2000s. He wasn't a great mayor like nutter but he actually did stuff. Unlike Kenney.

Also alongside his corrupt dealings with his brother on the airport project, he oversaw the airport actually becoming nice, and not the shit hole it used to be
