A
Before
we
start
I'd
asked
if
anyone
has
a
cell
phone
or
any
other
electronic
device
that
makes
noise
I,
ask
that
you
please
turn
it
off
or
turn
it
on
solid.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
cooperation
to
give
on
vacation.
This
morning
the
chair
recognizes
Reverend
Omari
use
of
the
church
of
the
redeemer
baptist.
He
is
here
today
as
the
guest
of
councilman
Johnson
I
would
ask
all
members
and
guests
to
please
rise.
C
Morning,
let
me
first
start
by
simply
congratulating
all
those.
No,
we
recently
had
an
election
and
I
would
be
remiss
without
congratulating
our
councilman
Kenyatta
Johnson
I
mean
thanking
him
for
the
invitation
to
be
here
on
today,
knowing
that
their
knowing
that
this
is
a
season
of
transition,
I
wanted
to
read
just
a
few
very
short
verses
and
then
just
do
a
quick
prayer.
C
C
C
C
C
A
A
E
A
Chair
thanks
the
gentlemen.
At
this
time,
I
would
like
to
dispense
with
the
regular
order
of
business
and
I
would
like
to
welcome
and
thank
everyone
who
has
come
down
today
to
witness
their
government
in
action.
We
really
hope
that
you
enjoy
yourself
today
that
you
leave
here
with
a
little
bit
of
knowledge
with
respect
to
how
we
operate
here
so
again.
Thank
you
so
much.
We
look
forward
to
seeing
you
again
very
soon.
Thank
you.
A
F
Good
morning,
everybody
morning,
you're
quite
right.
Mr.
president,
we
all
do
know,
gene
we
know
gene
and
is
roll
down
here
at
council
and
Harrisburg
walk
in
the
halls
of
the
Senate,
the
house
of
representatives
and
doing
a
wonderful
job
for
those
who
protect
us
daily
night
morning.
Go
time
of
day
matters
and
I'll
put
their
lives
in
a
line.
Our
Philadelphia
Police
gene
has
represented
all
so
many
issues
in
Harrisburg,
whether
it's
school
funding
last
year,
trying
to
get
our
kids
educated
you'd
be
surprised
of
all
the
things
he
has
his
hands
in.
F
So
today
we
like
to
honor
him.
We
talked
about
it
before
to
our
little
break
both
and
we
wanted
to
do
it
properly.
So
I'm
joined
by
Councilman
henan,
the
council
city
of
philadelphia,
is
pleased
and
proud
to
join
the
Philadelphia
Police
Department
and
honoring
Eugene
Blackmon
on
his
occasion
of
his
retirement
as
Eugene
blog
and
is
a
graduate
of
West
Philadelphia
High
School.
He
began
his
career
at
the
Philadelphia
Police
Department
on
november
eighth,
nineteen,
seventy
one
as
a
police
officer.
He
worked
for
the
Department
for
17
years
and
whereas.
B
Whereas
mr.
Blackman
has
worked
for
the
FOP
since
retiring
from
the
police
of
Philadelphia
Police
Department,
where
he
first
served
this
chief
of
staff
at
FOP,
Lodge
5,
he
currently
holds
a
position
of
lobbyists
where
he
is
responsible
for
handling
labor
interviews
and
grievance
procedures
for
large
number
5.
The
position
from
which
he
is
now
retiring
from
and
whereas
Eugene
Blackmon
has
gone
far
far
beyond
the
call
of
duty
to
perform
his
his
duties
in
an
exemplary
manner
facing
the
stresses
and
dangers
of
his
job
with
determination
and
dignity
for
the
citizens
of
Philadelphia.
F
Therefore,
by
the
virtue
of
this
citation
of
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
City,
Council
proudly
presented
to
Eugene
Blackman

A
Thank
you
very
much
councilman
before
considering
these
bills
and
resolutions
on
a
final
pastors
calendar,
we
will
have
our
public
comment
session.
It
will
go
as
follows
if
you
have
not
already
signed
up-
and
you
wish
to
testify
when
they
bill
I'd,
ask
that
you
sign
up
at
the
table
to
my
left.
When
your
name
is
called,
you
will
go
to
the
middle
of
the
council
chambers,
there's
a
podium,
the
device
on
the
podium
there's
a
light
when
that
light
turns
green.
It
is
your
time
to
speak
when
the
light
turns
yellow.
A
I
I'm
here
to
express
my
outrage
that
City
Council
would
consider
authorizing
the
commissioner
of
public
property
to
spend
a
dime,
let
alone
up
to
7.2
million
dollars
to
purchase
land
on
which
to
build
a
new
prison,
a
prison
that
would
cost
between
300
million
and
five
hundred
million
dollars
a
prison
that
is
opposed
by
the
next
mayor,
jim
Kenny,
on
Tuesday,
the
Philadelphia
Planning
Commission
voted
to
disapprove
bill
number
150,
406,
better
known
as
the
school-to-prison
pipeline
bill.
The
commissioners
rejected
the
staff
recommendation
to
move
forward
with
the
with
the
land
purchase.
It
was
reported.
I
They
questioned
whether
a
prison
was
the
best
use
of
waterfront
property.
My
question
is:
what
are
you
thinking?
The
school
district
has
an
85
million,
an
85
million
dollar
deficit
and
council
is
considering
a
bill
that
would
give
millions
of
taxpayers
money
to
a
shadowy
delaware
corporation
with
the
New
York
City
mailing
address
and
no
presence
in
Philadelphia.
Why
waste
millions
of
dollars
to
acquire
land
that
will
remain
vacant
Philadelphia
is
experienced
a
construction
boom,
but
the
property
as
777
state
road
is
a
bust.
I
The
property
has
been
entangled
in
a
web
of
lawsuits
dating
back
to
2007.
Indeed,
77
77
Philadelphia
loan
associates
got
control
of
the
58
acres
in
a
closed
market
sale
after
the
previous
owner
defaulted
on
the
loan.
Without
a
land
use
plan,
our
tax
dollars
would
be
wasted
paying
off
a
private
lenders.
Bad
loan
through
open
data,
invite
to
know
request.
We
will
eventually
uncover
the
identities
of
those
behind
the
land,
deal
their
relationships
and
campaign
contributions,
but
this
is
what
we
know
right
now.
I
Bill
number
150
406
is
a
raw
deal
for
the
citizens
of
Philadelphia
poll
after
poll
shows.
Education
is
the
most
important
issue
for
your
constituents.
The
message
of
this
bill
sins
to
these
kids
here
that
the
council
places
a
higher
priority
or
Lao
and
laying
the
groundwork
for
the
school
to
Prison
Pipeline,
then
building
a
brighter
future
for
children
trapped
in
100
year
old
school
buildings
without
librarians
guidance,
counselors
nurses
or
air
conditioning
our
children
of
being
set
up
for
failure.
The
vote
is
spoke
on
Tuesday.

This

It
has
opened
up
additional
avenues
for
commerce
along
that
river,
while
I
fully
trust
councilman
Heenan
and
his
assessment
of
the
prison
that,
even
into
he
called
the
conditions
deplorable
I'm,
a
friend
of
Bobby
Heenan
I've,
considered
my
friend
I
would
concur
with
him
if
he
says
it's
deplorable
I
would
say
it's
deplorable.
These
prisoners
shouldn't
have
to
live
in
conditions
like
that,
and
our
correctional
officers
shouldn't
have
to
deal
with
that
as
well.
Do
we
need
a
new
prison
I'm,
not
the
person,
to
assess
that
that's
for
experts?
F
What
I
do
know
is
we
do
not
need
it
on
the
waterfront.
It
can
be
built
somewhere
else.
We
can
provide
union
jobs,
provide
correctional
facility
somewhere
else.
This
facility
could
be
used
as
an
additional
use
doesn't
have
to
be.
A
shipping
terminal
doesn't
have
to
be
industrial
could
be
a
park
whatever
the
case
may
be
if
the
present
needs
to
get
built.

My
daughter
goes
to
school
at
South
Park
and
while
they
have
a
beautiful
library,
it's
really
just
an
unused
room
not
available
for
students
for
student
use
because
there's
no
staff
to
keep
it
in
order
as
the
students
in
searching
for
and
checking
out
books
and
furthering
their
education
and
appreciation
for
reading
and
literacy.
Just
yesterday,
the
mayor
was
at
South
Park,
making
a
stop
there
on
his
innovative
and
effective
schools
tour,
while
South
Park
is
thriving
in
many
many
many
ways.
D
H
Good
morning
to
the
members
of
the
City
Council,
my
name
is
Andre
Williams,
I'm
here
today
to
talk
to
you
about
about.
I
may
usefully
student.
We
need
school
nurses,
books,
libraries,
better
technology
and
more
athletic
programs.
A
few
years
ago,
I
was
a
jersey.
Man
smiling
and
I
was
expelled
for
fighting
a
couple
months
later,
I
was
arrested
for
selling
drugs
and
stronger
and
robbery.
I
was
sent
to
a
youth
detention
center
for
two
years,
but
my
mindset
really
didn't
change.
H
One
day
my
brother
came
home
from
yes
Philly
and
told
me
that
I
was
nothing
without
my
diploma
or
GED,
something
clicked
in
my
head
and
I
decided
to
enroll
and
yes,
fully.
I
worked
hard.
Every
every
class
I
joined
several
extracurricular
activities.
Today,
I'm
a
straight-a
student
and
I
have
learned
even
learn
how
to
tie
a
tie.
H
H
K
K
Yes,
Philly
is
a
community-based
organization
right
in
North,
Philadelphian
next
door
to
the
former
William
Penn
High
School.
Yes,
Philly
serves
students
who
have
dropped
out
of
Philadelphia's
public
schools,
students
who
have
worked
hard
to
get
back
on
track,
students
like
Andre,
who
are
finishing
their
high
school
education
and
turning
their
lives
around.
We
have
an
enriched
model
that
engages
students
in
media
arts
and
technology
and
helps
them
develop
new
behaviors.
That
they'll
need
to
be
successful
adults
as
they
earn
credits
for
their
high
school
diploma.
K
Libraries
in
their
communities
are
also
a
key
part
of
a
process
for
change
and
change
in
terms
of
changing
their
lives.
I'm
here
to
ask
you
to
provide
funding
for
the
Philadelphia
School
District
to
fund
their
request
for
105
million
dollars
for
this
year,
so
that
all
students
in
Philadelphia
can
attend
better
resource
schools.
I
know
that
city
council
has
come
through
for
Philadelphia
students
in
the
past
and
we're
counting
on
you
again
in
terms
of
filling
the
school
districts
request
for
105
million
dollars
in
new
and
recurring
revenue.
K
Philadelphia
is
one
of
the
most
underfunded
schools
districts
in
the
nation.
We
spend
less
per
student
than
all,
but
two
other
cities.
For
the
first
time
in
four
years
the
governor
has
proposed
an
increase
in
funding
for
public
education.
We
will
continue
to
make
sure
that
our
state
legislators
increase
funding
and
passive
formula,
but
that
does
not
relieve
City
Council
of
its
duties.
The
sooner
a
budget
is
passed,
the
better
off
our
schools
will
be
with
less
than
one
month
until
the
last
day
of
school.
Time
is
of
the
essence.
K
Passing
a
budget
will
allow
us
to
focus
on
teaching
and
learning
and
not
budget
advocacy.
I
also
want
to
ask
you
to
commit
to
supporting
yes,
Philly
and
to
come
and
visit
us
at
our
site
next
to
the
old
William
Penn
High
School
sometime
soon,
yesterday's
news
boasted
that
on
time,
high
school
graduation
rates
have
increased
from
52
to
sixty-five
percent.
Over
the
last
eight
years,
all
of
us
can
do
the
math,
even
at
the
current
improved
level.
At
best,
thirty-five
percent
of
high
school
students
are
succeeding
in
North
Philadelphia
neighborhoods.
K
J
Morning,
good
morning,
I
will
first
like
to
thank
ms
faye
henderson
for
her
eloquent
synopsis
of
bill,
150
406.
That
information
is
something
that
a
lot
of
us
are
not
made
privy
to.
Nor
can
we
articulate
it
as
well
as
she
has
I'd
like
to
just
say.
Basically,
there
seems
to
be
a
problem
here.
Reference
to
this
proposed
bill,
the
first
of
all
I'm
deeply
concerned
with
the
fact
that
there
are
no
tangible
solutions
to
the
educational
deficit
issue.
J
Although
there
are
several
grandiose
ideas
about
reinvesting
in
prisons,
ask
yourself
this
question:
if
you,
those
of
you
that
work
on
City
Council,
are
working
in
reference
to
your
constituents
needs,
then
how
can
you
consciously
and
morally
decide
to
allocate
funds
towards
prison
construction
and
constructing
a
instead
of
constructing
a
secure
future
for
your
constituents,
children
and
your
children
that
are
served
by
the
tax
dollars
of
the
constituency?
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your.
L
Good
morning,
thank
you
and
I
I
just
want
to
remind
City
Council
that
we
are
at
a
critical
juncture.
We
appreciate
all
of
the
support
that
you've
given
to
the
district
and
especially
dr.
height,
and
realizing
his
vision
for
Philadelphia.
As
you
know,
we've
had
several
superintendents
over
the
past
ten
years.
We
are,
we
believe
we
are
in
a
direct
line
to
achieving
greater
heights
and
more
success
in
front
of
you
that
you,
you
received
the
tool
boxes
with
suggestions
from
the
citizens
of
your
city
to
how
to
increase
the
funding
that
dr.
L
L
We
exit
the
Education
Committee
of
City
Council
scours
the
nation
and
finds
all
the
different
ways
that
cities
are
providing
revenues
to
ensure
that
the
schools,
districts
and
their
cities
are
successful.
We're
asking
a
city
council
to
act
big,
whereas
in
City
Council
to
be
agile
in
their
pursuit
of
this
funding
in
this
toolbox.
There
are
many
suggestions.
L
All
of
them
will
amount
to
funding
that
can
occur
on
a
yearly
basis,
and
we
want
you
to
know
wholeheartedly
that
the
city
is
behind
dr.
Heitz
request.
The
city
is,
acknowledges
and
supports
your
previous
support
of
our
school
district,
and
we
are
asking
that
you
set
up
a
system
where
we
do
not
come
hat
in
hand
year-to-year
basis.
And,
lastly,
we
want
our
City
Council
members
to
know
that.
F
Morning
morning,
City
Council
everyone
I'd
like
to
make
a
comment.
I
think
it's
about
time.
Instead
of
building
prisons,
it's
time
to
start
building
opportunity
for
younger
children
and
everybody
in
any
community
I
think
coming
home
at
night
and
looking
at
their
prison
is
not
the
positive
mindset.
But
when
you
come
home-
and
you
have
opportunity
for
the
kids
and
adults
in
the
same
would
be
more
of
a
way
to
go
than
spending
millions
of
dollars
on
prisons
and
how
about
building
in
sports
complex
or
a
ball
field,
or
something
like
that.
F
M
Morning,
good
morning,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
my
name
is
Megan
Brown
from
mastery
charter.
Shoemaker
campus
I
am
honored
to
be
standing
here
before
you
today
to
advocate
for
funding
for
the
School
District
of
Philadelphia
I
plead
to
City
Council,
to
take
a
chance
on
the
youth
of
Philadelphia
and
fund
our
futures.
The
money,
though,
may
seem
like
a
lot
is
minimal.
When
you
think
of
the
lives
you
are
impacting,
children
who
will
never
get
to
live
in
suburban
communities
should
not
be
limited
due
to
their
circumstances.
M
You
you
and
you
are
standing
in
between
us
in
our
future.
Please
invest
in
us
because
we
are
worth
it
one
day.
I
may
be
sitting
in
your
seats
and
I
would
and
I
would
hope
to
assist
those
that
would
one
day
lead
me
and
on
the
topic
of
the
Prison
Pipeline
I
would
hope
that
we
are
more
valuable
than
future
inmates.
As
Malcolm
X
said,
education
is
our
passport
to
the
future.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

A
A
E
You
very
much
council
president
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
this
is
a
difficult
job
that
we
have.
We
always
serve
at
the
pleasure
of
the
voters.
I
think
we
serve
at
the
pleasure
to
Lord
me
personally.
We
serve
as
long
as
he
wants
us
to
serve,
but
we
have
two
members.
I
want
to
recognize
councilman
wilson,
good
junior.
He
and
I
sometimes
disagree,
but
I
always
respect
and
appreciate
his
advocacy
he's
been
a
champion
and
he's
left
a
legacy
here
and
I'm
sure
he
will
continue
to
do
good
work
as
the
lord
directs
him.
E
And
and
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
working
with
councilman
ed
Nielsen
he's
been
here
a
short
time,
but
I'll
say
one
of
the
hardest-working
councilman
and
his
staff
I'm,
sorry
to
see
them
go
because
I
think
just
the
work
that
they've
done
representing
the
folks
here
in
Philadelphia
has
been
excellent
and,
of
course,
he's
here.
Til,
December
and
I'm
sure
a
bright
path
will
open
for
him
as
well,
so
I'd
like
to
thank
them
both
for
their
service
and
their
families.
For
putting
up
with
this
thing
that
we
do.
Thank
you
thank.
E
You,
mr.
president,
I
want
to
publicly
thank
my
colleague,
councilman
Heenan
for
holding
a
bill
number
150
406
in
it.
In
fact,
as
we
see,
many
people
have
come
out
today
a
reference
to
this.
It
is
not
left
by
chance
that
we
are
beginning
to
discuss
the
part
of
the
budget
that
deals
with
public
education
with
a
105
million
dollar
request
on
the
table.
E
I
want
to
tell
you
that
we
clearly
know
in
this
business
that
one
budget
is
not
the
same
as
the
other
budget
capital
versus
operating
real
clear,
but
the
signal
it
says
to
a
lot
of
young
people
is
that
the
pipeline
to
prison
is
open
and
running
well.
We
should
not
send
that
signal
when
we
have
alternatives
to
spend
that
closing.
In
on
200
million
dollar
capital
expenditure,
my
alma
mater
overbrook
high
school
was
built
in
nineteen.
E
Twenty
four
two
of
the
floors
are
closed
because
it
can't
come
up
with
the
capital
dollars
to
fix
it.
Mastery
charter
school
grants
built
in

the

celebrating
its
100th

anniversary,
Taylor
school
in
hunting
part
1908,
Harding
school
in
Frankfort,

the
Kendrick
rec
center.
In
my
district,
which
is
a
capital
expenditure
by
the
city
of
Philadelphia
1926,
we
need
to
take
a
hard
look
at
how
we
determine
our
priorities.
E
We
can
find
better
ways
to
spend
that
eight
million
dollars
newly
nominated
judge
Daugherty
talked
about
investing
1.1
million
dollars
to
put
GPS
systems
or
non-threatening
inmates,
so
that
they
can
be
in
house
arrest
that
could
save
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
a
year
to
go
towards
more
education,
as
we
look
at
this
and
make
these
choices
over
the
next
30
days.
I'd
hope
that
you
and
our
colleagues
would
keep
that
in
mind
as
we
determine
the
priorities
for
the
city
of
Philadelphia
for
the
next
fiscal
year,
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
thank.
D
D
You,
mr.
president,
Tuesday
was
election
day.
I'll
also
raised
for
the
first
time
in
24
years,
when
I
first
ran
for
City
counts
at
the
age
of
25,
so
now
I'm,
8,
4,
10
and
I'm
good
with
that
all
is
well
with
my
soul.
I
was
never
in
it.
For
the
politics,
I
was
raised
better
than
that.
It
was
simply
a
means
to
an
end.
D
I've
served
for
four
terms
on
his
counsel:
I've
introduced,
140
bills
that
have
become
law
and
most
of
the
focused
on
creating
new
opportunity:
economic
justice,
fair
lending,
community
investment,
tax
credits
for
investment
and
job
creation,
CDC
economic
development,
new
opportunities
for
businesses
owned
by
women
and
people
of
color,
and
a
living
wage
standard
that
I've
raged
from
five
thousand
fifteen
cents,
seven
dollars
and
seventy
two
cents,
ten
dollars
and
eighty
eight
cents
to
twelve
dollars
per
hour.
All
that
earned
me
tons
of
endorsements,
but
not
read,
AMA
nation,
because
Tuesday
was
purely
about
politics.
D
Now
I've
used
politics
enough
to
win
four
terms
that
allow
me
to
do
that.
Work
for
economic
justice,
so
I've
made
that
mark
in
the
time
that
I've
been
here.
It's
not
enough
to
just
win.
You
should
do
something
and
I've
done
a
lot
so
politics
it
served
its
purpose
for
me,
as
for
my
future,
the
next
thing
that's
coming
this
summer.
I
will
turn
50
and
goddess
not
through
with
me
yet
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
thank.
A
B
You,
council
president,
just
a
little
point.
Information
and
I
want
to
thank
the
councilman.
The
majority
leader
for
is
a
conversation
publicly
and
those
who
have
the
right
to
come
down
here
and
voice
their
concerns
over
any
issue
regarding
their
public
safety
and
well-being
in
the
city.
Philadelphia,
especially
when
it
comes
to
public
safety,
as
well
as
our
revenues
and
in
this
school
district,
because
the
school
district
is
extremely
important
to
the
success
in
the
future
to
city
philadelphia.
B
You
know
just
a
little
point
of
clarity:
I
held
the
bill
because
I
do
want
to
hear
a
little
more
from
from
members
and
look
forward
to
those
conversations.
But
there
is
a
clear
distinction
between
a
capital,
a
capital
expenditure
on
the
city
side,
as
well
as
a
capital
expenditure
from
our
school
school
district,
which
we
do
not
have.
Authorization
/
and
this
particular
bill
does
not
authorize
any
any
capital
expenditures
whatsoever
to
build
a
prison.
B
So
I
look
forward
to
meeting
with
members,
look
forward
to
meeting
the
stakeholders
and
look
forward
to
moving
the
city
forward.
All
right
as
we
need
to
do
so.
At
another
time,
this
bill
does
not
authorize
any
of
that.
It
just
authorized
us
to
do
our
due
diligence
as
we
are
responsibly
able
to
do.
Thank
you
Thank
You,.
H
To
make
that
happen.
We
did
provide
some
information
to
all
of
our
members
so
that
if
there
is
a
Boys
and
Girls
Club
in
your
district
or
that's
one
that
you
are
fond
of,
please
let
us
know
I
see.
Curtain
I,
see
ya
see,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
all
of
the
clubs
have
the
attention
and
support
that
they
need,
because
when
we
talk
about
a
pipeline
to
prison,
when
we
talk
about
construction
of
prisons,
this
is
where
it
begins.
H
Making
sure
that
we
have
opportunities
and
access
for
all
of
our
young
people,
the
new
club,
which
will
be
named
after
comcast,
founder
Ralph
Roberts,
will
include
an
Internet
Essentials
lab
and
art
room,
a
music
studio
and
additional
recreation
space
and
whether
they
are
passionate
about
sports
or
science.
The
new
facility
will
captivate
the
minds
of
all
of
our
young
people
and
our
children,
and
so
with
it.
H
I
do
want
to
give
a
special
thanks
to
david
l,
cohen
and
comcast,
who
are
leading
this
multi-million
dollar
fundraising
effort,
almost
eight
billion,
but
multi-million
dollar
fundraising
effort
to
bring
the
new
and
incredibly
improved
germantown,
Boys
and
Girls
Club
to
fruition.
So
again,
when
we
talk
about
the
future
of
our
young
people,
this
is
where
it
starts,
and
we
want
to
say
thank
you.
Thank.
J
Thank
You
counselor
president,
also
in
the
spirit
of
a
chairwoman
of
parks
and
recreation.
Last
week,
we
also
on
engaging
a
public-private
partnership
with
Connor
Barwin
of
the
Philadelphia
Eagles,
to
bring
to
South
Philadelphia
sniffing
around
a
state-of-the-art
brand,
new
football
baseball
and
athletic
field
on
for
the
children
of
South,
Philadelphia
and
I've
always
aspired
to
have
the
same
type
of
athletic
field
that
you
have
in
your
district
and
so
I
spent
a
long
time
coming.
J
But
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
hard
work
of
on
Calabar
on
for
the
Philadelphia
Eagles,
because
this
is
the
second
project
where
he
has
engaging
the
public
private
partnership.
The
first
project
was
the
ralphs
Brooks
Tot
Lot.
We
will
also
be
having
another
state
of
the
Arts
basketball
on
court,
/,
urban
food
garden
for
our
young
people,
and
so
again
this
is
about
making
sure
that
our
young
people
have
safe
havens
to
enjoy
themselves
in
their
neighborhoods
and
which
they
live
in
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge.
J
A
You
councilman
didn't
say
truly
a
good
dedicated
servant.
He
did
some
things
up
in
my
district
and
and
too
often
here
and
I
know.
You
probably
saw
that
field
right
now,
I
know
I,
know
no
I
said
so.
I
just
want
to
piggyback
on
that
girl
brief,
because
I'm
not
supposed
to
speak
from
the
podium,
but
you
know,
speaking
of
those
individuals
that
have
made
it.
They
in
fact
to
something
we
don't
get
enough
accolades.
A
I
know
Councilwoman
and
I
oui
cheri
filled
up
and
around
hunting
park
where
two
of
our
sports
heroes,
Ryan
Howard,
step
to
the
plate,
and
we
had
state-of-the-art
baseball
facility
up
there
and
Michael
Vick.
It
was
no
longer
here,
but
he
left
his
mark
by
having
a
state-of-art
football
field,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
good
people
across
the
city
that
are
part
of
our
sports
team.
So
I
agree
with
you
councilman
that
I'm
those
folks
have
done
some
good
stuff.
