Mr.
chair
I,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
share
the
Bible
reminds
us
that
we
have
been
called
to
preach
Liberty
to
the
captives,
to
preach
to
the
oppressed
and
to
reach
out
to
those
who
are
downtrodden
and
disenfranchised,
and
with
that
in
mind,
I
lead
us
in
prayer
this
morning,
God.
We
thank
you
that,
first
and
foremost,
you
woke
each
of
us
up
this
morning.
C
For
word
not
for
that,
we
would
not
have
voices
to
utter
on
the
floor
or
in
any
other
capacity,
and
so
today,
God,
as
we
undertake
the
business
of
attending
to
the
city
of
brotherly
love,
we
ask
that
you
would
infuse
this
place
with
the
spirit
reminiscent
of
what
you
said
in
Luke
chapter
4,
preaching
Liberty,
to
captives
and
looking
to
set
at
liberty.
Those
who
are
oppressed
so
bless
us.
To
that
end,
we
ask
and
none
of
the
name
of
the
name
of
Jesus
amen.
A
B
A
You
to
be
moved
and
properly
seconded
that
the
Journal
of
the
meeting
of
Thursday,
October
19
2017
stand
approve
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
those
opposed
eyes
have
it
and
the
journal
is
approved.
The
next
order
of
business
is
request
for
leaves
with
captain's,
and
the
chair
recognizes
councilman,
hidden,
good.
B
A
Thanks
to
gentlemen,
leave
she'll
be
granted
for
a
Councilwoman
Blondell
Reynolds
Brown.
At
this
time,
I
would
like
to
dispense
with
the
regular
order
of
business
and
I
would
like
to
welcome
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
who
has
come
down
to
witness
your
government
in
action
today.
We
hope
your
stay
today
is
a
knowledgeable
one,
but,
more
importantly,
a
pleasurable
one,
so
much
so
that
you
come
back
again
again.
Thank
you.

A
E
Good

it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
to
recognize
this
outstanding
individual
for
the
work

I
D
Thank
you
very
much
council
president
first
I'd
like
to
say
that
I'm
introduced
introducing
for
consideration
of
our
council
body
and
amendment
there's
nothing
wrong
with
the
bill
itself.
Unfortunately,
the
bill
has
resulted
in
some
problems
which
I
think
a
amendment.
A
clarification
would
help
and
I
would
like
to
say
that
I
think
it
is
appropriate
because,
unfortunately,
the
way
it
has
turned
out,
however,
it
has
happened.
The
city's
enforcement
of
this
bill
is
very
discriminatory
and
unjust.
D
This
bill
is
being
enforced
by
the
police,
because
L&I
is
not
enforcing
the
bill.
This
bill
is
being
enforced
by
the
police,
because
L&I
has
not
written
any
regulations
or
process
to
enforce
it
fairly,
and
probably
the
entire
process
of
enforcing
the
bill
is
illegal.
Probably
the
bill
is
being
enforced
in
commercial
areas
where
the
bill
does
not
apply
and
where
it
does
apply.
It
is
being
enforced
against
businesses
very
unevenly
and
unfairly,
it's
being
enforced
against
some
businesses
and
not
others
in
particular.
D
D
People
will
say
they're
getting
fined
enclosed
by
the
police,
because
they're
doing
something
wrong
and
that's
the
beginning
of
the
problem
when
the
police
go
someplace
and
do
something
people
assume
those
people
must
be
doing
something
wrong.
The
next
thing
is
when
people
say
well,
I
think
they're
being
discriminated
against,
but
they
deserve
it,
and
we've
heard
that
many
times
in
our
country,
we've
heard
it
with
African
Americans.
We've
heard
it
with
LGBT
we've
heard
it
with
Irish
Americans,
we've
heard
it
with
Italian
Americans,
with
Jewish
Americans
Muslim
Americans.
We
could
go
down
the
line.
D
One
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
say
is
that
the
double
standard
that
has
existed
throughout
the
history
of
America
is
problematic
and
I'm
going
to
speak
up
about
it
just
a
little
bit
because
it's
oftentimes,
not
understood
I
will
have
people
say
to
me.
Well,
you
know
the
Chinese
didn't
participate
in
the
civil
rights
movement
and
therefore
this
is
what
they
get.
I
will
have
other
kind
of
statements
like
that,
which
is
very
grossly
unfair
and
unsubstantiated.
D
But
let
me
start
with
this:
in
1790
you
could
not
be
a
citizen
unless
you're
a
white
man
it
couldn't
be,
and
in
1882
Congress
passed
the
law
that
excluded
the
Chinese
or
anyone
who
looked
Chinese
from
coming
to
United
States
or
becoming
a
citizen
that
did
not
end
until
1943
and
we've
had
generations
of
Americans
born
in
this
country
of
Asian
sestra.
Who
could
not
vote
could
not
vote
anyway
and
they
they
were
forced
to
carry
papers
that
proved
where
they
lived.
D
It
was
because
of
the
Chinese,
the
Chinese
Exclusion
Act
excluded
Chinese
from
coming
to
this
country,
and
if
you
were
a
citizen,
if
you
left
this
country,
the
federal
government
would
not
let
you
back
in,
and
the
United
States
government
pressured
Canada
to
exclude
Chinese
and
it
tried
to
pressure
Mexico,
but
the
Mexicans
did
not
want
to
be
under
pressure
from
the
US,
and
so
we
built
up
the
southern
border
in
1871
in
Los
Angeles.
There
was
a
mass
lynching
which
almost
nobody
heard
of
nobody
remembers
because
it's
not
taught
into
history
books.
D
Five
hundred
people
went
through
the
Chinese
area
of
Los
Angeles,
going
into
homes,
stealing
property,
stealing
items
smashing
things,
and
they
took
out
eighteen
people,
Chinese
people,
Chinese,
Americans,
shot
them
and
lynched
in,
but
the
law
in
Los
Angeles,
as
in
many
parts
of
this
United
States,
was
that
people
of
Chinese
answers.
Ancestry
were
not
allowed
to
testify
against
white
people.
That's
the
history
of
our
country
in
1910,
Pittsburgh
passed
an
ordinance.
Fortunately,
the
mayor
vetoed
it
I
think
there
were
about
forty
five
council
members.
D
43
of
them
voted
for
an
ordinance
that
Chinese
restaurants
had
to
close
earlier
than
any
other
restaurant
and
that
women
could
not
eat
or
work
in
a
Chinese
restaurant
that
was
1910
in
Pittsburgh.
That
was
not
unusual
because
throughout
the
history
of
that
time,
period
from
after
and
before
the
Civil
War
through
that
period
of
time,
Chinese
restaurants
were
competing
with
other
restaurants,
Chinese,
restaurants
and
Chinese
laundries,
because,
despite
all
the
suppression,
Chinese
couldn't
go
to
school.
All
the
suppression,
the
Chinese
found
places
where
they
could
make
money.
D
He
ran
out.
That's
called
a
break
in
the
action
for
the
lawyers.
They
chased
him
outside
heat
him
up
some
more.
He
ran
away.
They
grabbed
a
couple
of
baseball
bats
from
their
car,
chased
him
down
the
street
and
beat
him
to
death
in
front
of
McDonald's.
He
was
given
probation
manslaughter
and
the
judge
said
these
are
good
people.
D
The
family
reached
out
to
all
the
civil
rights
organizations,
and
none
of
them
responded
in
part
because
of
this
problem,
the
model
minority
issue,
and
so
that
issue
arises
because
some
people
typically
identified
as
Republicans
say,
look
at
the
Asians
they're
doing
very
well
in
our
country.
Why
do
other
people
have
a
problem
and
the
other
folks
typically
Democrats
say
because
they
are
light-skinned
and
they've
received
a
lot
of
favoritism
from
white
America
and
we
call
them
Democrats
well,
neither
is
true.
Both
are
very
ignorant
statements.
D
Many
asian-americans
face
discrimination,
poor
education,
health
issues;
they
don't
have
insurance
and
things
like
that.
Yes,
some
Asian
Americans
are
doing
well.
Despite
all
these
problems
and
again
they're,
not
the
only
group
of
people.
Women
have
not
been
able
to
vote
African,
Americans,
Caribbean,
African
immigrants,
many
people
in
our
country,
so
it's
a
continuing
issue
of
how
we
treat
ourselves
fairly
and
not
rely
on
prejudice
and
unfounded
statements.
D
Today,
all
deaf,
the
Asian,
American
legal
defense
and
education
fund
will
will
serve
this
city
with
a
letter
to
desist
enforcement
of
this
very
unfair
process.
I
thank
the
mayor
and
the
police
department
for
the
temporary
suspension
of
the
enforcement.
That
is
very
selective
and
discriminatory,
but
it's
not
enough.
We
do
and
should,
as
a
body,
amend
this
law
to
be
clear
and
logical
so
that
it
serves
its
good
purpose
that
it
was
written
for
and
I
appreciate.
D
The
members
of
this
council
yourself,
especially
council
president
for
your
leadership
in
always
trying
to
ensure
that
our
city
leads
the
way
in
fairness
and
equity
for
all
people.
I
will
say
that
many
of
the
people
here
today
they
are
struggling.
Many
of
them
don't
have
a
great
deal
of
education.
They
couldn't
get
a
job
anywhere
else,
just
like
their
the
other
people
we
talked
about.
They
have
to
find
a
way
to
earn
money
for
themselves
with
the
thinnest
of
margins.
D
They
make
their
money
by
not
turning
on
the
heat
they
work
16
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
that's
how
they
do
it,
and
these
fines
are
not
only
illegal
they're,
crippling
their
businesses.
So
with
that,
I
would
ask
everyone
in
Philadelphia
all
fair-minded
people,
and
especially
our
legislative
body
and
our
mayor,
to
ensure
that
our
process
is
fair,
that
we
send
a
message
to
the
people
that
is,
it
is
not
okay
to
discriminate
and
that
we
enforce
the
laws
fairly
and
appropriately.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
A
A
We
apparently
don't
have
any
reports
from
committee,
so
we
will
move
towards
the
consideration
of
the
calendar.
There
are
no
bills
on
a
first
reading
calendar
today,
so
the
chair
recognizes
councilman
Heenan
for
the
purpose
of
calling
up
bills
and
resolutions
on
the
final
passes
calendar

the
individuals
on
the
witness
list.
Lynn.
K
K
Thank
you
for
maintaining
this
democratic
process
of
allowing
public
comment.
I
wish
to
begin
with
resolution
number
one
7-0
408
introduced
by
Councilwoman
Reynolds,
Brown
and
Helen
Kim
the
resolution
calling
on
and
urging
the
School
District
of
Philadelphia
to
permanently
prohibit
the
suspension
of
elementary
age
students
from
the
first
through
fifth
grades.
K
This
is
an
attempt
at
its
route
to
protect
young
children
from
from
unfair,
racially
discriminating
punitive
discipline
and
to
rescue
young
people
from
the
school
to
Prison
Pipeline,
as
a
retired,
schoolteacher
I
remember,
observing
different
reactions
on
the
part
of
some
teachers
and
principals
towards
students
of
color
when
they
broke
school
rules.
However,
I
would
urge
City
Council
to
take
some
time
with
us
and
create
a
team
of
educators
and
parents
to
discuss
in
depth
what
is
making
children
misbehave
or
act
out
and
disrupt
classrooms,
sometimes
preventing
any
instruction
for
days
until
they
are
suspended.
K
The
roots
of
negative
school
climate
are
multiple.
We
no
longer
have
enough
teachers
of
color
in
public
schools,
so
black
and
brown
students
see
very
few
role
models
that
look
like
them.
Why
is
school
so
difficult
these
days?
One
reason
is
that
teachers
are
handed
a
child,
unfriendly
curriculum
designed
to
get
results
on
standardized
tests.
Our
schools
are
pressure
cookers,
partly
because
of
large
class
size
and
the
promotion
of
competition
between
students.
This
leads
to
stigmas
and
pressures
attached
to
quantitative,
not
qualitative,
individual
evaluations.
K
If
City
Council
wants
to
suspend
punitive
punishments,
please
provide
the
alternative
answers
that
actually
work.
Principals
need
options,
other
than
suspension
before
suspension
is
removed
from
their
toolbox.
If
all
public
school
students
had
fields
to
run
in
and
gardens
to
plant
and
ways
to
explore
their
innate
talents
in
the
same
way
that
wealthy,
suburban
students
do,
would
we
be
talking
about
suspensions
if
public
school
students
in
Philadelphia
cleaning
to
breathe
clean
water
to
drink
and
healthy
and
delicious
food
to
eat
a
more
comfortable
and
healthy
student
population
would
be
less
needy
at
the
biological
level?
K
And
this
brings
me
to
speak
in
support
of
Councilwoman
Reynold
Brown
Reynolds
Browns
resolution
number
1,
7,
0,
907,
I,
don't
know
what
that
okay,
urging
the
Trump
administration
to
rescind
its
decision
to
repeal
the
clean
our
clean
power
plan
in
support
of
President
Obama's,
clean
power
plan,
I
challenge
city
council
to
follow
its
intention
at
the
local
level.
Please
face
and
accept
the
science
of
natural
gas,
the
science
of
the
natural
gas
process.
Carbon
dioxide
is
not
the
only
climate
change
in
gas
and
coal
is
not
the
only
dirty
fossil
fuel.

A
J
She
died
in
October,
16,
2015
and
two
ages
age
of
89.
Although
ruby,
although
miss
Ruby
as
she
was
affectionately,
called,
was
born
in
Burlington
Georgia.
She
moved
to
Philadelphia
as
an
infinite
infant
with
her
parents
during
the
great
migration
from
when
five
million
southern
blacks
migrated
to
the
north,
beginning
in
night,
fifteen
to
escape
the
Jim
Crow
era
of
the
South.
The
family
settled
in
a
house
on
st.
mark
Street
near
42nd
and
willen
Avenue,
where
they
grew
to
include
ten
children.
J
Miss
Ruby
was
educated
and
Philadelphia
public
schools
and
graduated
from
Bartram
High
School,
where
she
walked
three
miles
to
school
and
never
missed
a
day
throughout
her
entire
years
of
schooling.
Some
said
that
that's
why
she
knew
so
much
because
she
was
always
present.
Ruby
was
widowed
at
early
age
and
began
an
early
career
at
the
Veterans
Administration
that
lasted
30
years
to
support
her
young
children,
Frank,
Martin
and
Colette.
It
didn't
take
long
before
she
was
practically
running
the
office
and,
as
someone
wanted
to
know
something
well,
they
would
just
ask
Ruby.
J
Several
years
after
her
retirement
from
the
VA
Ruby
began,
became
Restless
and
at
65
years
old
returned
to
the
workforce
as
a
teacher's
assistant
for
the
Philadelphia
public
board,
where
she
worked
ten
years,
her
duties
involved
caring
for
infants
of
teen
mothers
after
they
returned
to
school.
She
took
great
pride
in
being
an
encouragement
in
the
young
to
the
young
mothers.
J
Ruby
was
a
member
of
the
Mount
Zion
Baptist
Church
fifty
years
and
will
in
Avenue
I
mean
at
50th
and
Woodland
Avenue
and
for
74
74
years
and
was
very
active
in
church
functions
and
clubs.
She
was
a
member
of
the
Senior
guild,
progressive
co-workers
in
the
history
and
historic
and
heritage
committee.
She
took
pride
in
supporting
the
events
of
surrounding
the
church's
100
church
anniversary
before
her
passing
Ruby's
window
to
the
world
was
her
front
porch.
J
She
was
across
the
street
from
the
neighborhood
school
where
she
had
attended
80
years
previously
she
enjoyed
interfacing
with
children
on
their
way
to
and
from
school
she
seemed
to
know
all
the
children,
their
siblings,
their
parents,
ruby
knowledge
of
the
woodland
avenue
community
and
its
rich
history
was
indisputable.
She
prided
herself
in
the
accuracy
of
the
information
and
enjoyed
sharing
it
with
all
those
who
were
eager
to
listen.
She
was
an
avid
supporter
of
the
continuance
of
the
Woodland
Avenue
reunion
and
all
things
enhancing
with
an
avenue
heritage
as
a
runnin
Avenue
quickly
evolves.
J
It
is
important
that
and
fitting
that
Ruby's
Knights
name
be
added
to
the
street,
sign
at
46
and
wheelin
Avenue
to
serve
as
a
footprint
and
reminder
of
the
people
who
lived
in
wooden
Avenue
community
prior
to
the
transition
and
their
rich
heritage.
Her
families
continues
to
live
in
that
community
and
are
active
an
integral
part
of
that
community
respectfully
submitted
Thank
You.
I
B
B
L
D
B
Talk
about
well
guys,
don't
get
mad,
it's
not
the
issue
here.
What
I
came
about
everybody
I
ride
bicycle
get
around
town,
oh
I'm,
trying
to
all
right,
but
I
ride
bicycle
around
town
to
get
around
what
I
have
is
my
old
swing
bar
see
my
dad
bought
me
when
I
was
in
high
school
fights
forty
years
old
everybody
this
morning,
exactly
eight
twenty
I
was
hit
by
a
car.
It
was
a
hit-and-run
accident.
Thank
God
I,
don't
have
serious
injuries.
My
right
knees
killing
me
I'm
deadly
pain,
August
31st.
B
At
the
same
time,
they're
both
on
Thursday
I,
was
hit
by
a
car
again
and
I
had
stitches
in
my
eyes
my
face
for
his
road
rash.
For
two
weeks
my
bike
was
almost
damaged,
I
managed
to
put
back
together
and
start
riding
it.
Last
week
now
I'm
hit
and
now
I
can't
ride
the
bike.
Again,
something
needs
to
be
done
about
the
safety
laws
and
rules
and
guidelines
of
riding
bicycle
in
the
street.
Each
time
I
was
hit.
I
was
hit
by
a
white
car.
B
A
A
Understand
no
I
understand
and
we're
more
likely
very
shortly.
Gonna
have
a
conversation
around
bike
lanes
with
this
that
guidelines.
The
city's
supposed
to
talk
about
in
people
sometimes
pay
us
no
mind
and
all
that
right,
but
you
well
I'm
not
saying
it's
not
a
free-flowing
opportunity
to
talk
about
anything
in
the
world
supposed
to
be
about.
What's
on
the
calendar,
you
should
go
to
a
council
person,
particularly
council
members.
A
Yeah
well
she
at
some
point
she
will
be
moving
on
that
so
but
I
will
make
sure
we
get
your
name
and
we're
going
to
make
sure
you
get
invited
to
come
in
and
talk
about
that
and
if
there's
a
specific
issue
relating
to
and
unfortunately
sorry
about
what
happened,
we
can
just
deal
with
that.
Thank
you,
sir.
M
My
name
is
Michael
our
mang
73
14
Devon,
Street
Philadelphia,
one
nine
one.
One
nine
I'm
here
today
to
speak
in
favor
of
the
importance
and
necessity
of
this
council
approving
the
resolution
proposed
by
Councilwoman
Reynolds
Brown,
urging
the
executive
administration
in
Washington
to
rescind
its
decision
to
repeal
the
clean
power
plan.
M
This
decision
on
the
part
of
the
Trump
administration
displays
a
mean
and
insensitive
draconian
indifference
to
the
needs
and
well-being
of
hundreds
of
millions
of
people
by
prioritizing
profit
for
long-established
interests
and
an
irresponsible
national
weakness
for
fast
profit
speculation,
both
over
intelligent
respect
for
the
long-term
health
of
everyone
in
the
US
and
the
wide
variety
of
other
species
that
we
now
know
are
always
harmed
by
such
human
action.
The
weight
of
scientific
evidence
has
made
clear
that
half
measures
benefitting
the
status
quo
are
not
good
enough.
The
US
has
already
begun.
M
Supporting
this
resolution
is
a
minimal
step
in
the
right
direction
it
must
be
approved
and
that
approval
must
be
given
further
real
life
in
Philadelphia.
Beyond
that,
there
is
an
ever
wider
variety
of
tangible
options,
splaying
out
from
a
base
commitment
to
the
shift
to
renewable
energy.
Today,
the
vast
majority
of
those
options
are
predominantly
invisible
in
Philadelphia
because
of
the
lack
of
any
plan
built
upon
a
true
commitment
to
that
shift.
M
Fossil
fuel
generation
is
anathema
to
human
health.
It
is
only
bad
faith,
denial
prioritizing,
selfish
and
indifferent
fear
of
loss.
That
denies
these
things
today,
and
it
is
only
your
true
commitment
to
admitting
this
hard
fact
that
can
set
yourselves
or
write
as
the
necessary
gatekeepers
that
you
are
occupying
our
city's
common
seats
of
power
today.
Thank
you
for
your
attention.
Thank
you.

L
Is

Redmond

Oh
and
as
such
requires
immediate
remedy.
Every
week
this
council,
mayor
and
others
transfer
private
property
to
the
government,
probably
Oh
legally
every
week,
this
council,
mayor
and
others
is
notified
a
possible
illegal
and
immoral
acts
committed
by
council,
mayor
and
others.
Yet
there
is
no
action.
Us

If
you

what

allows
taking

without
compensation?

Should
the

let
the

become
the

criminals,
as
Jefferson

Accounting
Office
issued
documents
directing
amounts
of
just
compensation
owed
in
the
Logan,
once
federal
taxpayer
money
used
as

What
good
is
saying
something
if
government
refuses
to
prosecute
violations?
Is
this
Halle
sanctuary
see
acts
against
its
own
sovereign
people?
If
violating
one
law,
one
time
would
put
average
persons
in

L
Why
is
there
no
investigation,

by

A
resolution
hiring
and
recognizing
the
Pennsylvania
Academy
of
Fine
Arts
for
it
it's
over
200
year,
history
of
providing
Philadelphia
with
exhibitions
on
fine
art,
outstanding
educational
opportunities
for
artistic
students
and
for
their
fundraising
abilities,
introduced
by
councilman
Todd
Nurnberger
chairwoman.
I
recognize.
G
A
I
A
A
F
You,
mr.
president,
earlier
this
month,
myself
in
in
councilman
green
stood
in
front
of
SRC
building
on
Broad
Street,
where
we
were
challenging
the
potential
revoking
of
the
Charter
for
the
Charter
School
Eastern
Academy
of
charter
school.
This
is
an
academy
that
was
sponsored
by
Eastern
University.
It
is
a
small
school
of
that
services.
330
students
grades
7
through
12
41
percent,
male
59%
female.
It
is
in
an
area
where
a
lot
of
repurposing
for
the
building
is
so
there
is
a
useful
purpose
for
the
building.
F
Well,
the
reason
why
we
were
standing
out
there
is
that
there
is
a
matrix
by
which
the
SRC
decides
whether
a
school
should
be
closed
or
whether
it
should
continue.
This
is
well
within
their
purview
to
do
when
it
makes
sense
when
it
is
not
arbitrary
and
capricious
when
there
is
a
Apple
to
Apple
comparison.
For
you
to
look
at
a
school
and
say
I'm
a
compare
this
school
to
a
school
that
is
special
admit
or
to
this
school
where
folk
have
a
different
level
of
income.
It
is
not
a
fair
comparison.
F
F
To
me,
when
colleges
and
universities
nationally
decide
that
this
kid
is
meritorious
of
being
in
my
school
being
a
midok
getting
scholarship,
that's
a
matrix
that
matters
to
me
and
when
you
decide
that
you're
going
to
pull
things
out
the
air
and
because
I'm
never
going
to
question
another
man
or
woman's
motivation
or
entity,
but
sometimes
things
get
a
little
peculiar
to
me
right
when
big
fish
eat
little
fish.
That's
nature.
F
I
learned
that
in
biology
and
in
public
school
I've
learned
those
things,
but
when
big
fish
eat
our
children,
that's
a
problem
for
me
and
when
you
have
these
kinds
of
tensions
between
large
iboga
police
and
monopoly
charter,
schools
that
need
to
because
of
their
growth,
need
to
have
and
eat
smaller
schools.
Our
kids
get
devoured
in
the
process.
I'm
going
to
tell
you
this
that
one
out
of
three
african-american
men
is
in
jail,
probation
or
parole.
That's
not
something!
F
I
made
it
up
googling
and
one
of
the
reasons
the
number
one
factor
that
is
attributable
to
that
is
how
our
children
are
educated.
We
had
a
debate
about
prison
to
school
pipeline
iater,
a
young
lady
talked
about
it
today
and
public
comment,
and
one
of
the
things
that
they
start
to
realize
is
that
there
are
48
zip
codes
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
F
11
of
them
are
the
census
population
for
ninety
percent
of
the
young
men
and
women
in
prison
out
of
the
48
zip
codes.
11
of
them
send
90
percent
of
the
inmates
up
on
State
Road.
Ironically,
we've
closed
23
schools
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and
most
of
them
come
from
those
zip
codes.
Coincidence
I,
don't
know,
but
we're
going
to
pay
a
lot
more
attention
to
these
processes
and
so
that
our
kids
aren't
devoured
in
the
process.
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
thank.
H
You,
mr.
president
and
I
want
to
applaud
my
colleague
for
his
work
on
that
issue
and
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
resolution
I
introduced
earlier
today
about
Kulas
and
DHS,
and
the
improving
outcome
for
children
scorecard
that
was
released,
but
before
I
go
into
that.
I
did
want
to
number
one
on
behalf
of
my
colleague,
councilman
Blondell,
Reynolds
Brown
and
Jane
golden
from
mural
arts
remind
everyone
that
there
is
a
council
briefing.
H
Today,
it's
going
to
be
right
after
Clark,
right
after
our
council,
in
the
caucus
room,
and
we
hope
that
everyone
can
come
by
and
support
mural
arts
and
find
out
what
new
and
interesting
things
they
have
going
on.
Always
something
great
with
Jane
golden.
Also
I
wanted
to
thank
my
council
colleagues
for
their
support
in
the
voter
Mainstreet
competition
and
because
of
your
votes.
Germantown
jumped
from
seventh
place
to
third
place
to
second
place
and
now
we're
in
first
place
and
so.
H
Just
just
above
some
little
towns
in
Arizona
and
in
Iowa,
but
which
we
won't
even
mention
who
they
are,
but
but
we
want
to
stay
number
one,
and
so
Germantown
residents
who
are
actively
keeping
up
with
the
contest
sent
me
a
chart
tracking
daily
voting
totals
and
the
biggest
spike
was
the
last
Thursday
after
you
all
voted
and
spread.
The
word
about
the
contest
just
a
reminder,
winning
the
vote.
H
Your
Main
Street
competition
will
provide
preservation,
funding
to
two
African
American
and
historical
sites
in
Germantown
and
national
recognition
for
our
great
city,
you
can
vote
up
to
five
times
a
day
every
day
and
the
contest
ends
October
31st,
which
is
next
Tuesday,
we're
a
body
that
loves
voting
right.
So
we
encourage
everyone
to
vote
early
and
often
it's
legal.
You
can
do
it
five
times
a
day.
H
There's
nothing
wrong
with
it,
and
I
want
to
give
a
special
thank
you
to
Yvonne
Haskins
in
the
Germantown
CDC,
who
have
kept
up
with
this
issue
and
have
kept
our
offices
up
to
date,
and
this
is
really
going
to
make
a
difference.
So
I
just
really
wanted
to
encourage
everyone
again
to
go
back
to
voting
for
the
next
few
days
five
times
a
day,
and
we
really
really
appreciate
all
of
your
support.
We're
number
one-
and
this
is
a
great
thing
for
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
H
So
thank
you
for
your
support
on
that
and
last,
but
not
not
least,
I
didn't
want
to
just
make
some
points
about
the
report.
The
scorecard
that
was
issued
by
DHS-
and
you
know
just
the
information
that
was
provided.
I
want
to
ask
DHS
and
we're
going
to
have
a
hearing,
obviously,
but
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
on
what
they
issued
to
us.
80%
of
the
kuis
have
at
least
one
F.
H
The
rating
system
that
was
provided
to
us,
in
my
opinion,
was
misleading
and
you
rated
DHS
rated
this
on
a
system
of
Liberty
bells
versus
a
traditional
grading
and
scoring
system,
which
would
have
been
much
more
apparent
that
we
are
in
really
deep
trouble
with
the
kueh
system
that
we
have
in
place.
When
you
get
down
nine
categories,
each
one
was
rated
on
nine
categories
and
all
have
at
least
one
D
20%
of
those
rated
have
60s
30%
have
five
DS
and
20%.
Have
four
DS
I
counted
39
d
s
among
10
organizations.
H
These
organizations,
charged
with
caring
for
most
vulnerable
population,
are
children
who
are
in
distress.
80%
have
at
least
one
F.
One
has
three
FS
and
three
have
two
s,
and
what's
most
troubling
is
Wordsworth,
which
I
know
councilman
Jones
has
done
a
considerable
amount
of
work
and
the
tragedy
that
happened
out
in
his
district
Wordsworth
had
two
V's
four
C's
one
D
and
two
FS
so
sort
of
a
mixed
bag.
H
If
you
look
on
the
surface
of
it-
and
this
is
at
an
organization
that
had
we
know
now,
a
number
of
sexual
assaults
and
a
teenager
who
died
under
their
scare
and
supervision
and,
interestingly
enough,
Wordsworth
received
a
B
in
supervision
in
this
report.
So
if
these
were
the
grades
that
were
received
from
an
organization
which
was
as
troubled
as
Wordsworth
I
can
only
imagine
what
the
you
know
if
you
dig
a
little
bit
deeper,
what
these
other
organizations
really
do,
look
like
and
so
I
look
forward
to
the
hearing
and
I.
Thank
you.
Mr.
