“What was it that Mayor Street said about who was running the city?”
Well I don’t know what Mayor Street said but I do know what Rendell said and I can tell you that no Mayor runs this city. The second anyone steps away from the idea that a mayor or police commissioner in Philly, along with any kind of corruption coming from either office, are anything but side notes is the second that person will be closer to the truth with regard to what’s going on and who actually runs this city.
Don't get me started on how Philly is one of the few cities that still is almost exclusively "no-bid" ie a dictatorship by the building trade unions.
