Frank Rizzo Pushes Anti-Nepotism Bill, Sun Explodes

Frank Rizzo — the current City Councilman, not the late mayor — is introducing a bill in City Council limiting nepotism.

Frank Rizzo, you may know, appointed his brother Joe as fire commissioner when elected mayor in 1971.

Rizzo Jr. says his new bill would place strict limits on the hiring of relatives: “They’re going to have to disclose that they are a relative of Councilman So-and-So, or Commissioner So-and-So.” He’s also going to have to change his name to “Francis Smith” just to make sure nobody thinks they’re voting for the ghost of the former mayor.
