Nepotism Allowing political Allies to commit crimes without prosecution.  Stop throwing the trash and Toxic haz mat at the neighbors. It's not my Job to clean up after the Politically connected development project next to my house.

No the row house buffoons that vote in this city, will continue the trend, no change, complacency seems to be the norm! I will hold my last dying breath for change! It seems progress will come slowly, as the rest of the world passes this city by. The greatest building boom took place in this city over a hundred years ago, by 1950 this city enjoyed a very efficient, privately owned transit system. a sprawl of neatly organized neighborhoods for all to afford. Today, the city is rotting!

outside for a change? Maybe we need another New Yorker like Fast Eddie to guide the city back in to the black! Anything except the local home grown weeds! We need new blood to run this city, and put it where it belongs! Philadelphia aspires to be a world class city! Well, that would require every city agency to enter the twenty first century! computerization! I pay my water bill far in advance, yet, I still have to call the water department to dispute a late fee! And it goes on and on!

is a bust thus far. New skyscrapers aren't going to get the ball rolling! Yes, the new development planned for Center city will give the city a new cluster of commercial buildings, and this does attract new business to the city no doubt! But, the "grease the palm" mentality of this city is sickening, the powers that be in the Hall need replacement! The city as a whole needs to re-elect new blood, and this may hold true for the Mayors office to! Maybe Philadelphian's need to look -

Mr. Nutter you need to use a fine tooth comb, and run it through the very fiber of this city from one end to another, like searching for lice, and root out the shit that has manifested itself in this city's very core! Corruption and graft are not a Philadelphia creation, and it does exist in every big city weather we like it or not, but when you entered your first term as mayor, fireworks were set off on the corners of South Philly to usher in a new era for the city! Well sir, your new era-

You commented on a recent issue concerning a lady who wanted to sell cop cakes on the street in a truck, yes she as an attorney should have known that the proper licences were required, Ok, what about the Muslim ex-cons selling their stink sticks and home made colognes in the subway terminal at 15 th street? Who wants to smell that crap every day! Why aren't they routed and held in place till the authorities arrive? NO MR. NUTTER, YOUR NOT A REFORM MAYOR, YOU HAVE TAKEN ON THE OLD FORM!
