October 25th, 2007, Michael Nutter held an open forum at the West Philadelphia YMCA. Among the many policy positions he laid out was a new bill that he wrote and that Councilman W. Wilson Goode has introduced into City Council called the Philadelphia Re-entry Education Program (PREP). Among other things, it offers a $10,000 dollar credit against the business privilege tax to employers who hire ex-offenders for six months or more. The bill may be in front of City Council as soon as Thursday, November 1st.
