It boggles my mind that a city with as much crime as Philadelphia is planning on announcing the layoffs around 759 police officers tomorrow. Additionally, all of the city libraries and rec-centers will close by Oct. 2 as well.
It really frightens me that the legislation can’t be passed to raise the city sales tax by 1% as well as some pension reform (this I cannot really say one way or the other since it doesn’t effect me.) I would be willing to shell out another penny / dollar if it kept the jobs of those 750 police officers, and libraries open! I feel like this city can use all the help it can get.
I must say though, that I am thankful for our little island in the wild seas of west philly. Our block just started a town watch group, so hopefully we will at least be able to take care of ourselves.
Man, why is it so bad in Philly?
And why isn’t anyone (rich & famous) doing anything?! (I’m not kidding.)
get yourself a conceal and carry permit. then get yourself a baby eagle 9mm ( http://fototime.com/A85BA98C4429A1D/standard.jpg ) it fits really nicely in a cycling jersey pocket.
Good news. The state senate passed the sale’s tax hike. The libraries remain open!
Now the state just needs to pass it’s own budget!
I KNOW OMG! That’s AMAZING!!!!
Ignore your ‘Uncle’ Jay-he is just talking crazy. As if I need to tell you that. Aren’t you glad I gave him the link to your website?
