At least Nutter only goes Bizarro sometimes. Street was Bizarro Street ALL THE TIME.

perhaps Mr. Street should better remember the half-billion dollars he spent on two stadii (started by Rendell), the quarter-billion he spent on the Neighborhood Transformation Iniative (which produced a what? two Westrum suburbs?), while giving a ten-year tax abatement to all new development.

Last week, I overheard John Street say that he has no idea where the surplus went. It was like he missed the whole economic collapse thing. Or perhaps he thought the surplus was saved in a shoebox under the mayoral desk.

Sounds like we really will need to bring back Rendell to make up for the financial hole Street put us in.

That’s some sweet John Street math right there, son.

Eh, they have union contracts coming up. The $31m deficit is negotiations. It’s all a projection anyway; change an assumption by a couple of basis points, and I bet you could make it a surplus.
