City Councilwoman Jannie L. Blackwell has become the first Philadelphia Housing Authority board member to quit in response to demands from federal housing administrators intent on overhauling an agency that has gained national attention for out-of-control spending.

They could contact Aldi’s, which could build a grocery store in a space a fraction of his 8600 square feet.
Or give tax breaks to Walmart to come in and refurbish property.
But someone wants the studio, because someone else made it look nice.
I signed his petition at change.org.
I hope I don’t start getting a bunch of communist junk mail.
