Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
good
morning,
it's
rare
that
in
this
world
of
government
and
more
precisely
electoral
politics,
that
you
meet
younger
women
and
then
you
you
look
to
partner
around
certain
efforts
and
that
collegial
effort
grows
into
a
professional
relationship
which
grows
into
a
friendship
that
is
symbolic
of
the
relationship
I
share
with
the
woman
we
are
about
to
salute
this
morning.
F
Our
first
effort
believe
it
or
not,
was
a
few
decades
ago,
when
three
of
us
Melissa
Jordan,
Larina,
Marshall,
Blake
and
myself
did
our
first
effort
for
the
former
congressman
bill
gray,
who
knew
that
30
years
later,
we'd
be
able
to
salute
all
of
the
work
you've
been
doing.
Yes
salute
all
the
important
work
you've
been
doing
there
at
the
independence
of
Blue
Cross,
and
the
record
should
always
reflect
when
we
have
women
and
positions
of
leadership
and
responsibilities,
a
leader,
because
we
know
that
leaders
are
like
Eagles,
they
don't
flock.
E
F
Marez,
the
president
Larina
Marshall
Blake,
has
invested
and
continuing
her
legacy
of
philanthropy
and
social
impact
by
offering
mentorship
both
on
a
personal
level
and
a
professional
level
to
future
leaders
in
health
care
reform
and
serving
this
community
in
a
variety
of
capacities,
including,
but
not
limited
to
she's.
An
associate
minister
of
her
church
serves
on
25,
nonprofit
boards
and
committees
lucky
for
them
and
has
been
recognized
for
her
leadership
and
community
service
by
numerous
organizations.
Now,
therefore,.
B
K
Good
afternoon,
mr.
president
and
all
other
members
of
council
first
I
want
to
thank
Council
and
Sanchez
and
Kemp
Councilwoman
Reynolds
Brown
for
introducing
this
resolution.
It
is
indeed
my
honor
and
my
delight
to
accept
this
on
behalf
of
the
independence
Blue
Cross
Foundation
and
again
on
behalf
of
my
staff.
I
say
you
believe,
100%
of
yourself
but
200%,
and
the
people
that
you're
asking
to
follow
you
so
I
stand
here
because
of
those
who
stand
behind
me.
So
I
want
to
salute
them
today.
K
It's
not
all
about
me
again,
a
special
thank
you,
as
I
said
to
all
members
of
council
again
today.
I
am
eternally
grateful
for
the
important
work
you
do
for
our
city
every
single
day
and
I
get
excited
because
I
actually
started
here
long
long
ago,
but
we're
not
going
to
say
how
long
ago
but
I
said
many
of
us
have
friendships
and
relationships
that
go
back.
25
30
years
again
has
been
said.
Since
the
foundation
was
established
in
2011.
K
Our
mission
has
been
to
lead
sustainable
solutions,
solutions
that
will
last
that
will
improve
the
health
and
well-being
of
our
community
and
I.
Believe
the
only
way
we
can
fulfill
this
mission
is
through
partnership
and
collaboration.
One
of
our
guiding
principles
again
has
been
stated.
We
have
awarded
nearly
40
million
dollars
to
more
than
200
partners
supporting
300,000
residents
in
southeastern
PA,
and
all
of
this
work
is
made
possible
through
a
shared
mission
with
our
community
partners.
Again,
our
partners
are
important
to
us.
We
don't
tell
them
what
to
do.
They
inform
us
again.
K
We
are
a
convener
of
different
organizations
who
are
positively
impacting
communities
where
we
live
work
and
play.
We
believe
in
leveraging
cross
sector
collaboration
to
address
the
greatest
health
challenges
facing
our
community,
and
hopefully
many
of
you
know
about
our
someone.
You
know
campaign
which
is
dealing
directly
with
the
opioid
challenge,
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
all
partnerships
and
creating
new
ones
to
improve
the
health
and
well-being
of
our
community.
Again,
many
thanks
for
this
honor
and
as
I
stand
here.
I
was
thinking
of
a
song.
K
A
Michaels
thing
that
was
called
I
will
always
serve,
and
the
word
from
Jermaine
dolly
it
says
I
may
have
fame
to
my
name,
and
they
have
everything
that
life
could
bring
and
still
remain.
The
same.
I
may
have
the
house,
the
cars,
the
jewels
and
all
it
might
become
a
song,
but
I
will
always
serve.
Thank
you
again
for
this
honor.
L
L
L
L
A
A
M
F
F
Thank
you,
everyone.
This
is
an
extreme
honor
and
one
of
the
main
reasons
is
that
I
never
thought
we'd
be
able
to
get
it
done.
I
mean
Ken.
Woodson
said
no.
No!
No.
What
took
him
forever
to
tell
us
he
was
retiring
and
then
he
didn't
want
to
be
on
it.
No
don't
worry
about
it.
No!
Thank
you.
No!
No!
No!
So
it
took
us
a
long
and
it
was
a
hard
battle
to
get
him
here
and
I
want
to
thank
my
all
my
colleagues
and
thank
all
of
his
guests.
F
Thank
the
head
of
the
zoo
for
being
here
and
thank
him.
You
know
he's
also
a
minister,
but
he's
always
been
wonderful.
The
zoo
was,
in
my
district
he's
been
wonderful
kind.
Anyone
who
has
had
any
relationship
any
dealing
with
him
know
that
he's
a
fine
person,
upstanding
character.
Who
cares
about
our
city,
its
youth,
its
schools
and
all
of
us
resolution
recognizing
and
honoring
Kenneth
Woodson
on
his
years
of
service
to
the
Philadelphia
Zoo
and
congratulating
him
on
his
retirement.
B
Whereas
mr.
Woodson
is
an
active
member
of
the
community
and
sits
on
several
civic
and
business
organizations,
including
the
Association
of
zoos
and
aquariums
national
government
affairs
committee,
the
East
Park
side,
historic
district
coalition,
the
mayor's
Commission
on
African
and
Caribbean
immigrant
Affairs
and
the
University
of
Pennsylvania.
N
B
I
Whereas
mr.
Woodson
is
the
recipient
of
numerous
awards,
including
President
Obama's
2013
volunteer
service
award,
Distinguished
Service
Award
from
the
Metro
Center
for
community
partnerships
at

as

and
the

of
appreciation
for
distinguished
service
to
the
East
Parkside
mantua
community,
from
the
United
States
Attorney
Eastern
District
of
Pennsylvania.
B
To
God,
from
whom
all
blessings
flow
and
to
our
council
president
president
Clark,
and
to
use
a
well
spoken
term
West
is
best
so
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
third
District
Council
person.
Janie
Blackwell
I've
never
met
a
council
elected
person
who
was
more
passionate
and
committed
to
the
well-being
of
those
without
resources
and
means
to
my
home
fourth
District
council
person,
Curtis
Jones
jr.
and
to
every
member
of
council
here
assembled.
B
This
is
an
auspicious
occasion
not
because
of
what
I've
done.
I
have
indeed
done
a
few
things,
but
not
on
the
moment
of
power.
I've
done
things
with
the
help
of
many
many
many
others.
Many
of
them
are
standing
with
me
today,
including
the
pastor,
the
Mount
Carmel
Baptist
Church.
My
wife
I,
should
have
mentioned
her
name.
First.
D
B
So
that's
that's
an
important
thing
to
note,
but
more
than
that
I'm
also
the
beneficiary
of
God's
grace
noting
that
done
and
all
the
time
that
I've
served
even
on
my
best
days,
there
has
been
because
I'm
such
a
smart,
individual
or
I
know
everything.
That's
going
to
happen
to
how
it
should
be
done.
I've
had
some
dark
moments.
I've
had
some
challenging
times.
B
I've
made
some
huge
mistakes,
but
God's
grace
has
always
been
present
because
justice,
you
you've,
been
called
to
do
this
work
of
the
people
you've
been
called
to
serve
the
best
interest
of
the
citizens
of
Philadelphia.
The
God
called
me
to
a
different
work,
a
work
that
requires,
nonetheless,
that
I
served
the
needs
of
others.
Those
who
cannot
independently
make
decisions
to
live
their
best
lives
and
I
really
believe
that
as
a
stated
in
Scripture,
and
we
know
that
in
all
things,
God
works
for
the
good
of
those
who
love
Him,
who
have
been
called.

It

you
to
councilmembers
Johnson
and
Councilwoman
Janie
Blackwell,
whose
districts
around

refinery
tomorrow
Friday

22nd,
is
the
deadline
establish,
but
I
fell
off
the
Energy
Solutions
for
proposals
on
the
future
of
the
former
refinery
sites,
and
we
know
that
the
history
there
is
not
favorable
and
that
we
understand
that
they've
been
decades
where
pef
has
not
been
a
good
actor,
but
the
good
news
is
that
their
suit
their
their
future
is
none.
As
everyone
in
this
body
knows.
F
The
future
of
that
site
continues
to
have
the
attention
of
thousands
of
Philadelphians
women,
children
and
families
with
implications
for
the
environment,
the
health
of
the
central
light
communities
surrounding
that
facility
for
businesses
and
for
the
labor
force.
My
staff
and
I
have
come
to
the
conclusion
that
now
is
the
time
for
council
to
register
its
voice
for
the
last
20
years.
F
We
have
seen
several
administration's
and
dozens
of
council
members
work
on
bills,
charter,
changes,
programs,
funding
sources
and
all
the
rest
to
protect
our
environment
for
the
health
and
welfare
of
those
whom
elect
us.
The
resolution
does
not
encourage
one
proposal
over
another.
I
repeat:
this
resolution
does
not
encourage
one
proposal
over
another
over
another.
It's
simply
voices
our
strong
interests
and
proposals
that
consider
the
long
history
of
actions
taken
by
this
body
and
the
goals
of
the
current
administration
to
protect
the
health
and
well-being
of
our
citizens.
F
We
need
to
consider
things
like
smog,
air
quality,
the
quality
of
the
soil,
the
high
rates
of
asthma
and
cancer
rates
in
that
community,
and
for
that
reason,
and
others,
mr.
president,
I
urge
for
this
adoption.
Thank
you.
I
would
ask
that
the
rules
of
council
be
suspended
so
as
to
permit
consideration
of
this
resolution
on
today's
final
passage.

You,
council
president,
this
game
is
meaningful
for
a
lot
of
reasons
to
a
lot
of
people,
but
specifically
to
me:
I'm,
a
graduate
of
North
East
High,
graduating
in
1971
class
of
1:3,
oh
and
I'm-
very,
very
proud
of
that.
But
also
this
body
has
a
few,
or
at
least
some
other
essential,
grads
I
think
one
of
them
is
councilman
David.
Oh,
so
we're
going
to
see
how
that
game
progresses,
but
the
game
itself
has
done
so
much
for
young
people
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
this
year.
B
Also
I
have
only
it
since
1968
only
missed
one
game,
so
that'll
be
my
50th
game
this
year
out
of
127
played
I,
think
that's
a
pretty
good
record
and
North
East
has
been
doing
pretty
well,
they
hold
the
edge
of
61
to
52,
but
that
game
is
you
never
know
how
it
turns
out.
It's
a
great
thing
for
Philadelphia,
but
once
again.

of

by

cheer.
H
You,
mr.
president,
this
day
in
this
bill
is
long
overdue.
This
bill
will
address
the
ten
year
tax
abatement
and
the
inequities
which
have
existed
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
for
almost
twenty
years.
Now
there
was
a
time
when
the
ten
year
tax
abatement
was
desperately
needed.
The
city
was
not
growing,
people
were
not
coming.
Things
were
not
happening
when
you
fast
forward
to
today,
and
while
we
still
have
significant
challenges
ahead,
this
tool
clearly
needs
modification.
Now
it
did
its
job
and
now
it's
time
to
retool
and
look
at
what
we
can
do
differently.
H
The
changes
needed
will
bring
much-needed
dollars
to
the
Philadelphia
School
of
Schools
district,
which
is
very
important
and
desperately
needed
as
well,
and
it
will
begin
to
address
the
economic
inequity
that
exists
in
our
city
and
so
on.
Your
behalf,
I
would
like
to
thank
all
members
for
their
co-sponsorship
of
this
groundbreaking
piece
of
legislation.
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,.
M
O
Bill
yes,
correct
and
just
want
to
thank
this
body,
and
especially
yourself
for
the
leadership
to
bring
this
group
to
consensus.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
work
of
councilman
Wilson,
good
jr.,
who
introduced
many
of
the
bills
that
have
been
formally
for
Murli
introduced
before,
including
exploring
taps,
exploring
the
phased
in
protecting
the
School
District
of
Philadelphia
from
the
tax
abatement.
All
of
those
really
started
with
a
lot
of
the
leadership
of
councilmembers
before
us
who
have
been
long
grappling
with
this.
But
most
importantly,
as
my
council
colleagues
said
today,
this
is
the
body.
O
That's
been
really
thinking
about
it.
It's
for
a
while.
You
know,
I
certainly
introduced
the
bill
to
do
the
Faizan,
a
cap
to
explore
the
geographic
boundaries
of
it,
and
it's
so
encouraging
to
be.
Am
proud,
I'm,
proud
to
be
part
of
a
body
that
is
taking
a
bold
step
forward
on
evolving
tax
subsidies
as
tools
they
are
not
meant
to
be
fixed
in
time
forever.
O
They
have
to
evolve
as
our
city's
economic
needs
involved
are
evolve
and
for
anybody
who
saw
Good,
Morning
America
and
the
interview
with
the
School
District
of
Philadelphia
teacher,
who
now
has
mesothelioma,
which
is
unheard
of
as
an
educator.
We
know
that
this
money
needs
to
go
towards
supporting
our
school
facilities
and
it
needs
to
go
towards
affordable
housing
on
the
city
end.
This
is
only
a
start.
There
needs
to
be
more.
O
A
A
There
will
never
be
a
perfect
bill,
but
the
simple
reality
is
that
people
understood
and
they've
heard
the
people
in
terms
of
making
in
an
equitable
situation
and
the
fact
that
money
will
potentially
flow
to
both
school
district
and
the
citizens
and
provide
tax
relief
is
very,
very
important.
Someone
thank
all
of
you
all.
What
would

land,
particularly
over
the
last
several
weeks
and

together
and

and
it

actionable
in

All

are
to
sign
up
in
order
to
testify.
If
you
have
not
signed
up
already
in
today's
session,
please
do
so
to
my
left,
your
right
at
the
sergeant-at-arms
table.
You
will
be
called
in
an
order
of
which
your
name
appears
in
the
signup
sheet.
C
You
will
have
three
minutes
to
speak.
In
order
to
be
fair,
we
will
we're
asking
you
to
keep
that
in
consideration
because
of
duplicate
issues
that
you
would
want
to
be
speaking
one
you
will
begin
speaking,
you'll
see
a

light
and
the

you
will
have
30
seconds
remaining

The

will

in
which
your
is
a

to
conclude
your
remarks.
C
Once
your
three
minutes
have

a

light
will
turn

the

arms
have
the
options
of
disconnecting
the
microphone
at
that
point,
if
necessary,
please
respect
the
rules
of
City,
Council
and
I.
We
do
have
the
reserve
the
right
for
duplicate
comments
on
the
same
matter
to
limit
it
which
isn't
necessary
at
this
point.
But
if
we
choose
to
exercise,
we
have
that
ability
to
do
so
as
per
council
rules
and
I
would
ask
the
chief
clerk
please
to
the
name
of
our
first
speaker,
Shara.
M
N
N
We
have
been
blessed
with
the
information,
letting
us
know,
without
a
shadow
of
doubt
to
the
rational
minded
person
that
our
existence
is
that
state
we've
been
advised
by
the
scientific
community
without
with
undeniable
proofs
and
evidences
that
we
have
to
make
monumental
changes
and
the
ways
we
produce
and
use
energy,
global
warming
and
climate
change
are
wreaking
havoc
on
our
whole
planet.
We
have
to
change
the
outdated
antiquity
and
some
cases
murderous
energy
and
power
industry
practices
and
fossil
fuels.
That
close
global
warming
has
got
to
go.
N
There
is
no
easy
way
out.
We
have
been
warned
so
we
cannot
afford
another
minute
of
inaction.
The
oil
and
gas
industry
have
made
huge
fortunes
and
they're
developing
energy,
which
makes
it
hard
to
change.
It
becomes
so
convenient
to
them
to
make
these
huge
amounts
of
money
to
the
point
where
they
have
become
wicked
and
villainous
in
their
practices.
The
desires
to
amass
wealth
has
caused
them
to
turn
a
blind
eye
to
the
dual
effects
of
greenhouse
gases
and
global
warming.
N
They
have
shown
they
will
go
to
the
greatest
limp
unimaginable,
to
preserve
the
way
they
do
business,
no
matter
what
they
don't
care
about:
the
destruction
of
the
planet.
This
is
where
we
step
in
and
save
the
day.
We
have
the
opportunity
right
now
in
our
city
to
effect
change
that
benefit
the
human
race
on
a
global
scale
on
a
global
scale.
I'm.
Sorry,
if
we
act
right
now,
we
have
to
get
it
right.
Today,
I've
come
before
my
City
Council
humbly,
asking
on
behalf
of
the
citizens
of
the
community.
N
N
We
need
city
council
to
put
the
teeth
back
in
that
resolution
that
was
submitted
and
go
forward
and
bringing
forth
and
protecting
the
citizens
from
the
harmful
effects
of
companies
like
the
p/es
oil
refinery
and
keeping
it
closed
and
stopping
it
from
ever
being
an
oil
refinery.
Again.
Thank
you.
My
time
is
almost
up,
so
I
won't
be
able
to
finish,
but
we
really
do
come
to
City
Council
humbly
asking.
N
B
I'm
Cameron
Powell,
also
a
member
of
Philly
Drive
first
I'd
like
to
say
good
afternoon
to
everyone,
and
thank
you
to
everyone
that
came
out
to
show
support
on
june
21st
of
this
year.
The
former
p
es
refinery
was
decimated
by
a
cataclysmic
explosion
caused
by
the
ignition
of
hydrochloric
acid,
which
was
leaked
from
one
faulty
pipe,
but
moreover,
this
was
caused
by
pure
negligence
on
behalf
of
the
former
owners
of
the
refinery
and
the
city
of
philadelphia.
B

Oh,
it
would
propel
you
to
start
whoa
opposing
hitters,
her
public
safety
and
don't
align
with
sustainability
goals,
but
you
only
wish
the
encouragement
there's
promote
will
protect
health
safety
and,
along
with
sustainability
goals,
you
must
understand.
That's
simply
stating
a
showing
favor
things
that
third
line
with
without
active
without
obliging
mission
to
those
or
not.
Is
it
sufficient
change.
R
Good
afternoon
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak,
my
name
is
Matt
Walker
and
on
the
advocacy
director
with
clean
air
council.
We're
a
nonprofit
organization,
headquartered
in
Philadelphia.
Council
has
been
working
to
protect
everyone's
right
to
breathe,
clean
air
for
over
50
years,
and
cleaner
council
has
over
37,000
members,
including
many
in
Philadelphia,
with
Philip
Emmett,
I'm
speaking
on
resolution,
one
nine
zero
six,
three,
six,
a
with
Philadelphia
energy
solutions,
closure
of
the
refinery.
R
The
summer,
a
number
of
organizations
and
institutions
have
called
on
the
city
Philadelphia
to
promote
a
future
use
of
their
roughly
1300
acres
of
refinery
land
that
is
protected
for
public
health
and
the
environment
and
promotes
economic
development.
With
the
very
recent
news
about
the
impending
deadline
for
bidders
to
submit
qualifying
proposals
to
purchase
the
p/es
refinery
site
tomorrow,
November
22nd,
it
is
absolutely
critical
that
City
Council
make
a
public
statement
about
its
preference
for
the
site's
future.
Use.
R
Cleaner
council
fully
supports
Councilwoman
Reynolds
Browns
resolution
in
support
of
proposals
for
the
site
that
aligned
with
the
city
of
Philadelphia's
goals
to
improve
air
quality,
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
protect
public
health
and
safety
of
Philadelphia
residents.
Cleaner
council
council
strongly
recommends
that
each
city
council
member
vote
to
approve
this
resolution.
We
appreciate
Councilwoman
Reynolds,
Browns
leadership
and
that
of
the
co-sponsoring
council
members.
Thank
you
over
at
the
refinery
century-and-a-half
of
storing
and
processing
crude
oil
and
petroleum
products.
R
It
has
heavily
contaminated
oil,
the
sorry,
the
soil
and
polluted
the
surrounding
rivers
and
underlying
aquifer.
The
refinery
was
the
largest
stationary
source
of
toxic
air
pollution
in
Philadelphia.
The
permanent
closure
of
the
PS
refinery
would
represent
a
major
improvement
to
air
quality,
public
health
and
quality
flights
in
Philadelphia
and
would
remove
the
city's
single
largest
industrial
contributor
greenhouse
gases.
R
Specifically,
the
council
asks
City
Council
to
consider
an
ordinance
to
prohibit
the
storage
and
use
of
unsafe
levels
of
hydrofluoric
acid,
a
deadly
chemical,
and
to
explore
options
for
changing
the
zoning
district
in
the
area
of
the
refinery
site,
so
that
it
reflects
the
City
of
Philadelphia's
plans
and
goals.
This
resolution
will
make
a
powerful
statement
to
potential
bidders
interested
in
the
refinery
site
that
City
Council
strongly
prefers
future
uses
at
this
site
that
do
not
pollute
the
air
or
water
and
do
not
negatively
affect
the
health
and
safety
of
Philadelphia
residents.
Thank
you.
S
Oil
refinery
led
to
an
explosion
that
at
least
3,000
pounds
of
hydrochloric
acid
into
the
air
and
hurled
three
vessels
weighing
thousands
of
pounds
around
the
site
and
across
the
Schuylkill
River.
Nor
do
I
need
to
remind
people
that
we
are
lucky.
It
was
not
worse.
We
are
lucky
and
grateful
that
skilled
workers
managed
to
prevent
the
explosion
from
being
significantly
worse,
a
death
bringing
tragedy
on
a
scale
that
we
might
not
be
fully
able
to
imagine.
S
Like
bandits,
it
is
also
perhaps
worth
reminding
the
members
of
this
body
that
Philadelphia
Energy
Solutions
was
worth
the
recipient
of
five
million
dollars
in
redevelopment
assistance,
capital
program
or
our
trap
key
grants.
It
is
worth
reminding
the
members
of
his
body
that
it
is
as
if
the
state
gave
bonuses
to
the
executives
and
that
the
sustenance
politicians
give
to
Philadelphia
Energy
Solutions
was
to
the
people
at
its
very
top,
who
daily
exact,
did
their
revenge
on
the
rest
of
us
below
them.
Fossil
fuel
executives
are
among
the
greatest
criminals.
This
society
has
ever
known.
S
S
Who
will
we,
who
will
you,
support
the
oil
bosses,
their
outside
investors
and
their
insatiable
greed
or
the
workers
and
people
of
a
city
and
their
desire
for
clean
air,
drinkable,
water
and
work?
That
does
not
kill
you.
It
is
time
for
members
of
his
body
and
the
people
of
his
City
to
pick
sides.
This
is
why,
I'm
speaking
in
support
of
resolution,
one
nine
zero
six,
three,
six,
eight
thank
you.
M
O
Hello,
my
name's
me
no
travel
a
Mount,
Airy
resident
and
a
volunteer
with
the
Sierra
Club
I'm
here
today
to
speak
about
councils,
just
introduced
resolution
to
support
proposals
to
purchase
the
refinery
site
that
align
with
our
goals,
the
fire.
This
past
you
and
woke
up
all
philadelphians
to
the
toxic
giant
and
a
riverfront.
O
Yes,
today
we
need
their
product
to
fill
our
gas
tank,
but
with
electrified
and
improved
transit
and
electric
cars
we
won't
be
as
reliant
on
the
products
of
this
refinery.
I
repeat,
we
must
not
revive
the
refinery
again.
We
must
not
accept
any
industry
that
dumps
into
the
atmosphere
or
produces
anything
combustible.
Therefore,
no
waste
to
energy
plant,
nothing
that
makes
jet
fuel
or
marine
diesel.
We
ask
simply
for
no
new
fossil
fuel
project.
Our
commitment
to
100%
renewable
energy
means
we
go
forward
towards
that,
not
backwards
into
the
20th
century.
O
O
We
may
need
to
rezone
this
space
and
take
away
the
zoning
so
that
this
site
is
left
viable
for
use
as
a
future
refinery.
We
need
to
make
it
financially
unattractive
for
anyone
to
restart
this
refinery
tomorrow,
I
plan
to
talk
more
about
creating
family,
sustaining
jobs,
remediation
for
a
youth
other
than
a
refinery
and
consideration
of
rising
sea
levels.
Today,
my
question
to
you
all
is:
who
decides
what
happens
next
we'd
like
to
participate.
M
J
Thank
You
counsel,
when
he
Heenan
and
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
Peter
Winslow
I'm,
a
resident
of
Mount,
Airy
and
I'm
president
of
a
smart
collaboration,
ask
I'm
here
wearing
my
filly
Thrive
t-shirt
and
speaking
in
urging
you
to
support
and
pass
this
resolution.
That's
been
introduced
by
council
and
Councilwoman
Reynolds
RAM
and
councilman.
J
Brown
said
that
this
is
a
neutral,
not
favoring,
one,
a
neutral
proposal,
not
favoring
one,
a
bitter
over
another
and
aside
from
the
two
bidders
who
expressed
their
interest
publicly
before
going
into
the
bidding
process,
we
don't
know
who
the
bidders
are
so
we're
not
in
a
position
to
say
who
we're
for,
but
we
sure
can
say
who
we're
against
we're
against
the
refinery
reopening
plain
and
simple.
You
know
when
the
refinery
blew
itself
up.
J
J
The
total
amount
of
taxes
that
have
been
assumed
that
the
city
that
receives
from
PTSO
spent
thirty
three
point
two
million
dollars
and
it's
consists
of
sales
taxes
and
it's
a
minor
amount
and
the
greater
scheme
of
things
in
terms
of
the
total
budget
of
the
city
and
compared
to
the
amount
of
money
that
is
made
by
this
refinery
and
flows
through
it.
So
you
know
the
city
doesn't
need
it
doesn't
need
it
for
tax
revenue.
M
P
Is
official
decree
of
the
people
in
Rome
and
a
misquote
worn
toe
as
such
requires
immediate
action
remedy
every
week,
council
mayor,
governor
and
others
transfer
private
property,
their
government
probably
unlawfully
to
paraphrase
George
Washington
a
government
that
tries
to
deny
god-given
rights
must
be
removed.
Founding
fathers
required
officials,
feos
bound
document,
consent
of
the
people
or
god
is
required
before
action
is
taken.
P
I
quote
that
to
secure
these
rights,
governments
are
instituted
among
men
deriving
their
powers
from
the
consent
of
the
government,
and
I
quote
is
the
right
of
the
people
to
abolish
it
and
install
new
government.
Where
is
the
documented
consent
steal
my
home
steal
my
just
compensation
without
prosecution.
The
Constitution's
require
me
REME
of
this
breach
a
wall
breach
closed
breach
of
fiduciary
duty.
P
They
just
government
must
obey
the
rule
wall.
This
cover
wall
government
must
have
its
charter
to
govern
revoked
until
constitutionally
compliant
government
is
installed.
Public
servants
cannot
refuse
your
sworn
duty
to
act.
A
more
than
a
fireman
can
refuse
to
fight
a
fire.
The
sovereign
people
require
Oh
constitutions
and
law,
be
enforced
and
jail
is
required
for
all
violent
Oh,
Constitution
or
law.
I
remind
Council,
takes
a
lot
of
cooperation
to
create
and
allow
all
this
monumental,
corruption.
T
Naep
stands
in
solidarity
with
the
community
living
close
to
the
refinery
whose
health
has
been
sacrificed.
It's
collateral
damage,
the
loss
of
vibrant
health
and
premature
deaths
of
loved
ones
is
way
beyond
it
inconvenience
when
over
5,000
pounds
of
hydrofluoric
acid
was
released
during
the
explosion,
a
miracle
protected
thousands
of
lives.
T
Article
1
section
27
in
the
Pennsylvania
Constitution,
is
not
reserved
for
only
those
wealthy
enough
to
live
in
certain
zip
codes,
because
the
future
use
of
the
refinery
site
is
acutely
important
to
the
health
and
welfare
of
this
city
from
infants
to
the
elderly.
The
resolution
should
be
passed
and
translate
into
action.
Our
governor
right
now
is
being
investigated
by
the
FBI,
the
Attorney
General
of
Pennsylvania.
R
T
The
District
Attorney's
of
Delaware
and
Chester
counties
as
to
whether
he
pressured
the
pennsylvania
department
of
environmental
protection
to
approve
Senecas
mariner
east
to
pipeline
project
wolf
is
a
Democrat.
Meanwhile,
Republican
President
Trump
wants
to
drill
drill,
drill
and
burn
down
anything
vulnerable
and
sacred.
Both
politicians
are
guilty
of
the
same
ignorant,
bravado,
ignoring
common
sense
thinking,
it's
good
to
be
macho
tougher
than
the
surroundings
to
survive
on
smoke
and
toxic
order.
T
As
long
as
there's
a
deal
to
be
made,
which
is
more
convenient
for
Philadelphia
at
this
point,
continue
poisoning
people
with
contaminated
air,
water,
soil
and
toxic
school
building,
while
burning
fossil
fuels
that
push
the
climate
towards
no
return
in
2030
or
reject
entrenched
habits
created
by
the
fossil
fuel
industry.
We
can
start
with
cleaning
up
the
refinery
area
and
getting
on
a
fast
track
transition
to
clean
energy.
Today,
you
can
pass
the
resolution.
T
G
Making
the
refinery
history
would
allow
this
city
and
all
of
its
residents
to
benefit
from
eliminating
a
huge
public
safety
hazard
that
is
hanging
like
a
cloud
over
all
of
us,
a
little
lemonade,
toxic
air
pollution
that
contributes
to
Philadelphia's
unusually
high
cancer
rate,
and
finally,
we
could
stop
violating
the
ozone,
national
and
ambient
air
quality
standard,
which
the
city
has
not
done.
We
continually
violate
it
and
it
probably
won't
happen
if
the
refinery
reopens
it's
the
largest
stationary
source
of
ozone
precursors
in
the
county
and
one
of
the
largest
in
the
non-attainment
area.

A

Q
And
raised
in
Philadelphia
I'm,
currently
a
resident
in
New
Jersey.
So
what
am
I
doing
here?
I'm
part
of
a
group
called
the
Philadelphia
eco
district
and
I'd
like
to
present
a
different
future,
something
that
is
that
you
have
not
heard
before
Philadelphia
eco
district
realizes
the
refinery
closing
gives
a
golden
opportunity
for
large-scale
development.
Q
If
we
boldly
reimagine
the
city,
it
will
positively
influence
the
quality
of
life
for
many
generations
into
the
future,
just
as
a
decision
made
by
our
ancestors
include
William
Penn
and
his
visionary
green
country,
town
defectives.
Today,
the
following
five

our
framework
for
developing
the

site.

our
ongoing

Thank

Thank
you.
I
am
here
today
as
a
representative
of
the
philadelphians
against
bedbugs
feb,
who
have
worked
on
a
bedbug
remediation
bill
for
years,
which
require
landlords
to
be
financially
responsible
for
and
remediate
bedbug
infestation
at
City
Council
in
2014
passed
a
resolution
saying
that
bedbugs
were
a
serious
issue
and
out
of
that,
a
task
force
was
created,
including
landlords
pest
control
operators
advocates
for
bed
bug
treatment.
The
task
force
recommended,
in
fact,
that
landlords
be
financially
responsible
and
remediated
bugs.
We
have
worked
on
creating
a
bill
in
a
process
of
four
years.
E
When
we
came
to
counsel
for
the
committee
hearing,
however,
we
learned
that
the
sponsor
too
introduced
an
amendment
which
we
believe
effectively
gutted
to
build
the
amendment
which
now
requires
the
tenant
to
share
the
cost
of
bedbug
remediation.
If
the
tenant
didn't
report,
the
infestation
within
90
days
of
moving
in
pest
control
experts
today
and
I
quote,
is
extremely
difficult
to
detect
the
bedbug
infestation
early
on.
E
E
There
were
other
amendments
put
in
which
we
believe
seriously
undermine
the
bill.
We
now
have
been
working
with
the
sponsor
and
we
have
proposed
an
amendment
removing
these
harmful
changes
and
requiring
the
landlord
to
pay
the
full
cost
of
remediation
the
tenant.
However,
with
the
class
clear
obligations,
they
would
have
to
cooperate
with
the
pest
control
operator
and
they
would
be
responsible
for
all
the
cost
of
preparing
the
unit,
including
purchasing
mattress
and
box
spring
encasements
and
other
items,
as
indicated
by
the
licensed
pest
control
operator.
E
This
will
also
include
replacing
items
such
as
furniture,
which
the
license
be
CEO
stated
need
to
be
done.
If
the
tenant
failed
to
comply,
the
landlord
could
perform
them
work
and
charged
a
tenant
for
the
cost
of
doing
it
in
accordance
with
federal
housing
guidelines.
Every
city
and
state
that
has
passed
a
bedbug
bill
requires
the
landlord
to
be
fully
responsible
for
the
cost
of
bedbug
remediation.

guidelines
regarding

introduced

D
M
A
F
President,
it's
always
a
practice
to
lift
up
and
celebrate
professional
still
moving
on
to
brighter
wider
pasture
pastures.
As
the
final
announcement
today,
I
would
like
to
share
that
our
senior
policy
advisor
Julian
Thompson
will
be
leaving
our
office.
Julian
will
be
accepting
a
position
at
the
United
Negro
College
Fund
and
will
be
moving
to
atlanta
georgia
to
serve
as
the
first
senior
program
manager
in
the
area
of
leadership.
He'll
be
working
directly
with
the
president
and
CEO
dr.
F
Michael
Lomax,
and
the
UNCF
Institute
for
capacity
building,
which
has,
as
his
chief
responsibility
to
provide
leadership
programs
for
presidents
and
board
chairs
of
all
of
our
historically
black
colleges
he's
been
a
member
of
our
team.
Since
May
27,
he
came
to
us
as
a
policy
fellow
freshman
right
out
of
law
school
in
2010,
where
he
served
under
my
then
legislative
aide,
Katherine
Gilmore
Richardson.
As
my
senior
policy
advisor
he's
been
valued
by
all
of
the
members
of
our
team
and,
most
importantly,
our
interns,
mara,
Kenny,
just
fine
into
law.
F
Our
Leadville,
which
Julian
took
up
the
mantle
two
years
ago
after
us
working
on
that
nine
years
ago,
and
so
we're
excited
for
him
and
his
leadership
more
than
anything
else
and
the
true
mentor
he
has
been
to
the
gazillion,
miss
interns
that
have
come
to
our
office.
So
here's
what
we
know
UNCF
slogan
is
Julian.
A
F
You
very
much,
and
over
the
past
few
years
my
staff
and
I
believe
that
you
have
demonstrated
an
acute
mental
ability.
You
are
a
superior
lawyer
with
the
Keen
legal
eye,
so
Atlanta's
gain
is
Phillies
loss.
We
want
to
thank
you
in
a
big
way
and
celebrate
you
in
a
bigger
way
and
as
Katherine
Gilmore
Richardson
would
say
we
journey
on
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,.
I
You,
mr.
president,
mr.
president,
I
quickly
just
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
say
a
special
thank
you
to
Solomon
Jones,
Manuel,
Glen,
Jenice,
Armstrong
and
Malcolm
Jenkins
and
I'll.
Tell
you
why,
in
an
article
that
was
written
on
November,
the
19th
by
Denis
Armstrong,
it's
entitled
a
call
went
out
to
black
men
in
response
to
shootings
of
kids.
I
Up
phl,
calling
on
and
and
I
want
to
quote
him
I
put
out
a
call
to
black
husbands
and
black
fathers
and
black
uncles,
and
you
know
what
he
said
from
the
stage
y'all
showed
up.
Mr.
president,
I
thank
man
well
blend
for
actually
posting
the
live
footage,
so
that
those
of
us
who
were
not
there
also
saw
think
councilman
green
was
there
so
that
we
could
actually
see
these
men
who
Jenice
Armstrong
beautifully
captures.
I
When
she
says
I
was
there
and
believe
me,
it
was
a
beautiful
sight
to
behold
a
room
full
of
african-american
men
dressed
in
business
suits
or
timberland
boots
and
jeans,
and
they
gathered
together
to
express
their
collective
outrage
over
recent
shootings
involving
children
as
councilman,
Johnson,
councilman,
Jones
and
yourself.
Mr.
president,
have
taken
up
this
mantle
for
criminal
justice
reform
in
this
body.
I
Our
communities
at
large
to
get
engaged
in
issues
that
will
help
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
for
all
I,
want
to
say
to
Malcolm
Jenkins
if
you're
listening
I
want
you
to
keep
on
keeping
on
I,
don't
care
if
we
agree
to
disagree
with
what
his
perspective
is
on
any
particular
issue.
He,
like
any
other
resident
of
our
nation
of
this
state
of
this
city,
who
has
some
skin
in
the
game,
has
a
right
to
have
a
voice
so
to
Solomon
Jones
and
to
Geneva
capturing
it
to
Malcolm
Jenkins.
I
Thank
you
so
very
much
for
putting
skin
in
the
game.
You
are
no
johnny-come-lately
to
tough
issues
that
people
have
long
not
wanted
to
discuss
publicly
criminal
justice
reform,
policing,
reform,
prison
reform.
You've
used
your
celebrity
to
help
our
people
in
our
city
at
large.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
and
don't
you
dare
allow
anyone
or
anything
silence,
Thank
You!
Mr.
president,.
C
Thank
You.
Mr.
president,
first
I
want
to
thank
all
of
the
co-sponsors
for
hate
late',
the
co-sponsors
for
the
hate
legislation
that
bill
that,
with
unanimously
passed
today,
in
particular,
Councilwoman
Brown,
councilman,
squill,
again
Green
Tom
and
Talton
Berger,
and
all
the
colleagues
who
unanimously
voted
to
make
sure
that
this
becomes
a
law
and
that
nobody
is
disenfranchised
and
nobody
is
singled
out
in
the
form
of
a
crime
in
the
name
of
hate,
which
is
unacceptable
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
So
I
want
to
thank
all
of
you
who
passed.
C
You
know
to
help
join
me
passing
this
legislation
today,
I,
don't
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
all
the
seniors
in
my
district
I
got
to
tell
you
they
were
passionate
about
this.
They
over
a
thousand
of
them
circulated
petitions
that
were
presented
to
me
in
whole,
including
my
mother,
so
I
want
to
thank
my
mother,
who
was
encouraging
and
persuading
that
this
happens.
You
know
by
the
end
of
the
year,
because
it's
what
we
do
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
So
thank
you
all
for
that.
Second
I
want
to
thank
you.
C
Council
president
I
want
to
commend
you
and
your
staff
for
facilitating
all
the
research
work
and
the
legislation
to
the
legislation
that
was
introduced
today
modifying
the
ten
year
tax
abatement.
This
conversation
has
just
begun
in
more
of
an
intense
way,
and
most
of
you
aware
that
I
have
been
a
long,
vocal
supporter
for
the
ten
year
tax
abatement.
C
I
believe
that
the
more
we
do
to
encourage
a
development,
the
more
we
do
to
help
spur
and
create
job
creation
and
put
Philadelphia's
to
work,
but
my
district
is
made
up
of
working-class
families
and
far
too
many
of
them
or
living
paycheck
to
paycheck,
not
just
in
my
district
but
across
the
city.
It's
become
increasingly
clear
that,
while
a
benefit
to
developers
might
spur
development,
which
is
my
belief,
a
benefit
not
necessarily
extending
to
the
working-class
people.
C
In
my
district
and
again
I'm
going
to
say
across
the
city,
we
passed
legislation,
workers,
rights
in
sick
bay
and
fair
scheduling,
workers
deserve
respect
the
respect
of
a
living
wage,
and
it's
that
plain
and
simple.
They
deserve
a
job
sites
that
prioritize
safety
and
the
value
of
a
work
force.
We've
seen
far
too
many
examples
of
residential
developers
who
were
unscrupulous
in
Philadelphia
who
fail
workers,
failing
people
failing
to
properties
and
endangering
or
communities
the
abatement
legislation.
C
I
believe
that
we
are
considering
here,
presents
an
opportunity
to
talk
about
the
actual
benefits
of
the
tax
abatement
and
will
allow
us
take
steps
in
making
sure
that
the
benefits
are
shared
for
all
Philadelphians
and
shared
for
their
workforce
and
the
working
class
of
Philadelphia.
So
thank
you
for
everything
that
you
do
looking
after
this
body
and
the
city
Philadelphia's
whole
and
your
staffs
contributions.
It
makes.
A
H
You,
mr.
president,
I
just
want
to
echo
my
colleagues
comments
and
thanking
you,
but
I
also
wanted
to
thank
him
because
I
think
it
really
says
a
lot
to
have
councilman
Heenan,
be
a
co-sponsor
on
this
I
think
it
means
a
lot
and
I
know.
We've
had
quite
spirited
discussion
about
the
ten
year
tax
abatement
for
a
long
time
now
so
having
his
support.
H
Having
all
of
our
colleagues
support
is
is
critically
important,
but
I
did
want
to
signal
him
out
as
because
we've
had
so
many
conversations
about
the
ten
year
tax
abatement
and
what
to
do
and
how
to
make
it
fairer
and
make
it
work
for
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and
also
address.
You
know
the
group
that
we've
had
as
a
result
of
it.
So
I
wanted
to
thank
him
as
well.
Also
I
wanted
to
mention.
H
You
know
speaking
earlier
of
you
know,
folks,
who
are
near
and
dear
to
our
hearts
here
in
City
Council,
who
are
leaving
I,
wanted
to
say
a
little
something
about
our
very
own
18th
member
of
spill,
adelphia
City,
Council,
Vince
Thompson
from
W
Urd,
who
is
going
to
be
leaving,
but
I.
Don't
think
he's
going
all
that
far,
but
he
will
be
leaving
his
broadcast
at
W
Urd
and
his
last
broadcast
will
be
on
Thursday
November
21st,
which
is
today
some
trivia
about
Vince's
tenure
at
W.
H
U
Rd,
Vince
started
his
latest
City
Council
live
career
as
host
with
the
first
session
on
January
23rd
2014
from
January
23rd,
2014
and
today,
council
will
have
had
a
hundred
and
eighty-seven
sessions
according
to
wur,
DS
accounting
of
its
shows
transcripts,
Vince,
Thomson
broadcasts,
a
hundred
and
eighty
four
of
them
missing
only
three
during
that
time.
So
that's
about
a
ninety
eight
point:
three
percent
attendance
rate,
Vince
Thompson,
has
been
a
consistent,
clear
voice
in
the
african-american
own
news
media
for
many
years
and
will
miss
his
reporting
on
W.
H
U
Rd
but
like
I
said
I
think
we'll
still
be
seeing
him
here
and
there,
maybe
every
once
in
awhile
and
so
I've
known
Vince
for
a
very
long
time
and
I
count
him
as
a
friend.
Even
when
he's
asked
me
really
hard,
really
difficult
questions
still
have
so
much
love
for
him
and
I
know
that
all
of
us
do
so
I'd
like
to
just
take
a
moment
and
ask
if
we
could
give
Vince
our
eighteenth
member
of
council
just
a
round
of
applause
and
appreciation
for
all
of
his
work
over
the
years.
