sounds like the vermin are inhabiting City Hall.
And have been for many, many decades. Philadelphia is utterly corrupt, from the sleazy working-class wardheelers fixing parking tickets to the retirees on City disability pensions spending their days free-lancing, or the hundreds of thousands avoiding taxes by working "under the table", to the outright wheeling and dealing of the Democrat machine politicians.
Until recently, there was an overall public hypocrisy about being good Catholics, staunch Episcopalians or righteous Jews. Not any more. The influx of gays into City Hall started in the 80s and has proceeded apace. One City manager my workplace dealt with told me she only hired other lesbians and gays. Imagine if a heterosexual City manager told someone he only hired men, or only hired straights.
Remember, Philadelphia is the City that gave us Abscam, a bribery scandal uncovered by the FBI, in which Rep. John Murtha was involved, but never indicted.
