There was probably a feel-good inspirational story that needed the space. Philly.com is useless.

It would be nice if they fire all the people who work for the city tax department since they can’t seem to get their sheet together anyways.

I just broke bread with the Dude last night and he didn’t seem like there was anything heavy weighing on his mind.

I’m putting my money on his bluff working, but bluff or no bluff, this is what Philly gets when no one can agree on what to cut. He’s been fought on every proposal he’s put forward to save money. Who’s really surprised that the eventual outcome of this bickering is a proposal for sweeping cuts across the board?
We have some amazing people in this city who give back through financial, volunteer, or other means, but we have a whole lot more sucking it dry. You can only run that kind of deficit for so long before something has to give…

Remember all that money that was spent ripping buildings down in Lower North Philly a few years back? I miss the days when we had so much money for such asinine purposes, now the city can barely afford to put fires out.

this whole letter reads like a republican wet dream. he even used the phrase “dismantling of government.” do they not realize this is exactly what the middle-staters want?

This is like “War of the Worlds: Philadelphia Budget Edition.” I had to make sure this wasn’t some sort of cruel joke.
