City Council Just On Replay In 2008
City Council meets for the first time in the post-John Street era today, and it’s already getting ready to do important work. By important work, of course, I mean City Council members are re-introducing previously-failed bills. Jim Kenney wants to get rid of the requirement one has to live in Philly for a year to apply for a city job. This will be time #3 introducing it for Kenney, but it will only be attempt #2 for Blondell Reynolds Brown’s exciting tour guide regulation bill! The idea is that if we make tour guides take a history test and get certified, they won’t tell us that Thomas Jefferson invented the light bulb. Plus, city bureaucracy will certainly be streamlined if it has to certify freaking tour guides. Phila. Council Reintroduces Failed Bills from John Street Era [KYW 1060] |

I thought we were trying to trim the workforce in the City. Do we really need the suburbanites coming in taking our jobs, and play solitaire all day?
