A
B
Always
let
me
first
thank
our
Heavenly
Father
for
the
privilege
of
seeing
another
day.
Let
me
thank
him
for
the
privilege
and
pleasure
of
being
a
part
of
this
body
and
being
here
with
all
of
you
during
this
special
day
in
this
special
time
in
our
lives,
I
request
that
we
rededicate
ourselves
to
our
purposes
to
the
purpose
of
public
service
I,
also
ask
that
we
pray
for
those
who
are
hungry,
pray
for
those
who
have
lost
people.
B
So
many
of
us
go
to
so
many
funerals
this
week,
I
ask
that
God
bless
those
who
don't
have
enough
food
and
who
aren't
sure
whether,
where
their
sleep
tonight
and
in
who
need
help
with
their
housing,
we
ask
God
to
bless
all
families
in
need.
And
again
we
thank
him
for
the
privilege
of
having
us
here
so
that
people
know
where
they
can
get
go
and
to
whom
they
can
turn.

This
time,
I
just
like
to
take
a
moment
to
recognize
a
good
friend,
wasn't
necessarily
a
colleague,
because
I
was
just
a
staffer
at
that
point.
Our
good
friend
former
mayor
bill,
green
mayor.
A
A
Think
the

unscathed
got
out
in
town
right.
Thank
mayor.
Thank

C
J
L
Morning,
thank
you

allowing
us
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
regarding
our
annual
ceremony.
We
have
with

today.
First,
I
want
to
thank
that
alan
dom.
First
sponsoring
this
event,
the
resolution
and
also

and

is
Naomi

director
of
the
Jewish

the
Jewish
Community
Relations
Council,
and
two
very
important
people

who
are
both
holocaust
survivors.
L
This
event,
as
you
have
heard,
will
take
place
this
Sunday
April
28th.
We
had
originally
planned
to
have
it
outside,
but
because
the
weather
looks
like
it's
going
to
be
rainy,
we
will
definitely
have
an
adroit
of
Shalom
Synagogue
I
brought
and
Green
Streets
at
1:00
p.m.
and
we
invite
all
of
you
to
attend.
This
year's
program
is
focused
on
the
tourism
stock
concentration
camp,
which
was
located
30
miles
north
of
Prague
in
the
Czech
Republic
through
in
World
War
two.
L
Although
tourism
stat
was
not
an
extermination,
camp
about
33,000
died
in
the
ghetto.
This
was
mostly
due
to
the
appalling
conditions
arising
out
of
extreme
population
that
density,
malnutrition
and
disease
about
88,000
inhabitants
were
deported
to
Auschwitz
and
other
extermination
camps.
At
the
end
of
World
War,
two
there
were
17,000
247
survivors
of
tourism
study.
This
camp
was
different.
It
has
many
educated
Jews.
Unlike
other
camps,
tourism,
shots
detainees,
included
scholars,
philosophers,
scientists,
visual
artists
and
musicians
of
all
types,
some
of
whom
had
achieved
international
renown
and
many
contributed
to
the
camp's
cultural
life.
L
The
Nazis
used
this
camp
in
a
propaganda
effort
designed
to
fool
the
Western
Allies,
the
Nazis
publicized,
the
camp
for
its
rich
cultural
life.
Children
in
Terezin
shot
were
housed
separately
from
adults
and
boys
separately
from
girls.
Each
home
had
an
adult
supervisor
who
held
illegal
classes
so
that
children
would
not
fall
behind
in
their
education
once
they
were
free
from
Empress
one
home
which
housed
boys
aged
13
to
15,
set
up
their
own
government
and
secretly
created
a
magazine
vedam,
which
was
the
longest-running
clandestine
publication
of
the
Holocaust
betim
included.
L
Poems
articles
dialogues,
artwork
and
whatever
the
boys
and
their
teacher
wanted
to
record.
They
gathered
clandestinely
every
Friday
night
from
1942
to
1944
to
read
aloud
the
week's
issue.
Most
of
the
boys
perished
in
the
death
camps
of
the
few,
who
survived
one
managed
to
save
the
magazine's.
The
book
we
are
children,
just
the
same,
is
a
compilation
of
selections
from
the
magazine
with
additional
excerpt.
L
Some
of
the
Diaries
of
the
children,
letters
to
their
families
and
artwork,
not
only
from
the
magazine
but
from
other
children
in
Terezin,
as
well
in
1942,
on
the
eve
of
to
be
shot
a
minor
holiday
that
celebrates
trees,
a
teacher
in
Terezin
stop
her
Malawi
decided
to
teach
the
children
interned
in
the
camp,
the
lessons
of
sadaqa
righteousness
and
charity
and
explained
that
on
this
Festival
of
Trees,
they
would
understand
what
sadaqa
meant
mrs.
Lasher
enlisted
the
help
of
a
friendly
Nazi
guard
to
bring
her
a
tree
seedling
from
the
forest.
L
The
next
day,
the
guard
presented
her
with
a
seedling
about
four
inches
high,
the
children
and
mrs.
Lasher
planted
the
tree
in
the
children's
quarters.
She
told
them
that
this
seedling
needed
water
and
sun
to
grow.
She
asked
each
of
the
children
to
give
up
a
portion
of
their
water
each
day,
so
the
seedling
could
be
nourished
and
thrive.
Can
you
imagine
asking
these
children
to
give
up
a
portion
of
their
daily
water,
which
was
rationed?
It
was
so
small,
but
they
did
when
our
malaysia
died.
L
She
was
buried
beneath
her
tree,
which
then
stood
30
feet
tall.
A
plaque
dedicated
to
her
was
placed
on
her
grave
and
serves
as
a
reminder
of
her
courage
in
2007.
Her
mystery
into
raisin
shot
was
dying
because
this
was
no
ordinary
tree.
Several
cuttings
were
taken
and
brought
to
the
United
States
Philadelphia
was
honored
to
be
presented
with
one
of
the
cuttings
just
as
interesting
start.
The
tree,
the
twig
was
nourished
with
water
and
Sun,
and
now
stands
12
feet
tall.
L
It
was
planted
this
year
in
the
Holocaust
Memorial
Plaza,
where
it
thrives,
where
it
rides.
As
a
lasting
memorial
of
the
15,000
children
imprisoned
in
the
turrets
in
stock
ghetto.
Only
about
1100
survived.
The
exact
number
of
children
who
died
during
the
Holocaust
will
never
be
known,
but
estimates
say
that
one
and
a
half
million
children
were
murdered.
L
This
Sunday
young
people
aged
from
11
into
their
mid-thirties
will
participate
in
readings
and
musical
presentations
to
remember
and
honor
the
courage
those
children
exhibited.
The
Keystone
boy
choir
will
be
performing
a
piece
dedicated
to
erm
allows
legacy.
Our
youth
must
be
educated
in
order
to
grow
from
a
twig
into
a
blossoming
tree.
Today,
the
world
is
facing
a
resurgence
of
anti-semitism.
L
The
Holocaust
has
taught
us
what
can
happen
when
people
turn
away.
We
can
never
ignore
intimidation
and
hatred.
The
Jewish
survivors
of
the
Holocaust
have
demanded
that
the
world
not
forget
the
six
million
Jewish
martyrs.
If
we
have
learned
anything
from
the
cause,
it
is
that
we
are
all
responsible
for
each
other.
Inaction
is
equal
to
acceptance
once
again,
I
invite
you
to
join
us
this
year.
Our
very
very
special
program
and
I
leave
you
today
with
the
words
the
survivors
of
the
Second
World
War,
have
asked
us
all
to
pledge.
A
H
Take
you
to
a
time
of
constant
turmoil
between
Rizzo
and
Bowser
and
Green
factions
of
the
Democratic
Party.
Let
me
take
you
back
before.
There
was
facebook,
Instagram,
tweeting
and
twittering
things
like
that.
When
we
got
our
news,
the
old
fashioned
way
off
of
a
newspaper
and
in
those
times
there
was
turmoil,
enemies,
frenemies,
colliding
over
political
ideology
and
that
turmoil
often
turned
to
distrust
that
the
elections
were
rigged
and
things
were
going
on.
H
But
there
was
one
man
who
stood
above
the
fray
who
had
the
integrity
of
all
parties
and
factions,
someone
who
could
with
his
integrity
whether
it
was
with
the
committee
of
70
or
the
city
commissioners
office,
stand
up
and
say
this
process
is
fair,
no
matter
what
the
results
were.
No
matter
who
wound
up
on
top
I,
remember:
George,
II,
would
say,
and
I
went
to
sleep
as
a
council
person,
I
woke
up,
I
was
unelected.
Let
me
take
you
back
in
time.
H
Let
me
tell
you
about
a
courageous
mayor
named
Bill
green,
who
said
let
the
chips
fall
where
they
may.
Let's
do
a
study
to
look
at
the
integrity
of
the
voting
process
and
in
charged
mr.
Fred
Voight
to
be
the
honest
broker
this
man
in
the
dictionary
for
fair
electoral
process.
His
should
be
next
to
it.
So
I
am
joined
by
my
colleagues
today
to
recognize
mr.
H
D
I
Whereas
in
1977
Fred
became
executive
director
of
the
committee
of
70
filled
out,
his
independent
civic
watchdog
organization
established
in
1904
Fred,
was
considered
one
of
the
foremost
experts
on
elections
in
Pennsylvania
and
consulted
on
election
law
throughout
the
United
States.
He
served
as
both
an
advisor
to
and
a
critic
of
five
mayoral
administration,
the
federal
government
over
three
decades
there
under
his
leadership.
I
Seventy
long
studies
into
the
Philadelphia
Home,
Rule,
Charter,
ports,
housing,
economic
development,
municipal
utilities,
personnel
practices,
transportation,
police
and
a
judicial
Selection
study
that
culminated
in
the
creation
of
Pennsylvanians
for
modern
courts.
He
also
mentored
and
inspired
hundreds
of
young
people
who
went
on
to
careers
and
significant
volunteer
work
in
public
service
and.
D
Whereas
in
2008
excuse
me,
Fred
join
the
office
of
the
philadelphia
city,
commissioners,
lending
his
legal
prowess
and
knowledge
of
election
law
to
assist
in
transforming
the
electoral
process
in
philadelphia,
including
the
selection
of
new
voting
systems
and
the
assurance
of
checks
and
balances.
To
protect
the
rights
of
voters
and
candidates
to
fair
and
free
elections.
And.
J
Whereas
fred
was
raised
in
long
Port,
New
Jersey
as
the
second
of
four
sons
to
Jacob
and
Mary
Voight,
his
father
was
an
executive
with
the
Pennsylvania
Railroad,
who
commuted
daily
to
Philadelphia
fred
graduated
from
Valley
Forge,
Military
Academy
and
the
University
of
Denver.
He
attended
Dickinson
Law
School,
where
he
met
his
wife,
Patricia
Van,
Alen
Voigt.
They
were
married
the
year.
He
began
his
service
to
Philadelphia
and
will
celebrate
their
fiftieth
anniversary
this
year
and.
G
Whereas,
as
a
resident
of
Chestnut,
Hill
fred
has
served
as
a
devoted
member
of
st.
Paul's,
Episcopal
Church
for
nearly
50
years
and
raised
two
daughters,
Carrie
learned
and
Sarah
Savage
and
his
three
grandchildren
Mac
Anna,
Leigh
and
Wyatt,
and
have
become
his
greatest
joy.
Apart
from
his
orchids
fred,
has
been
awarded
the
highest
honors
at
the
Philadelphia
Flower
Show,
his
orchids,
including
a
special
distinction
for
winning
26
ribbons
in
2019,
Flower
Show
and
the
Pennsylvania
Horticultural
Society
orchid
award
and
as
an
agricultural
degree
holder.
That's
damn
impressive,
whereas.
K
And
whereas
those
who
know
him
recognize
that,
aside
from
the
flower
show
Fred
doesn't
care
for
accolades,
his
preference
is
to
be
known
for
his
relationships
with
us,
those
to
whom
He
has
given
friendship,
advice,
knowledge,
guidance,
generosity
and
love.
Fred
considers
the
people
who
have
worked
alongside
him
for
the
betterment
of
philadelphia
s
extended
family.
There
is
no
greater
love
than
his
for
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved.
F
By
the
Council
of
the
city
of
Philadelphia
that
a
hereby
congratulate
sin,
honors
Frederic
L
void
on
the
occasion
of
his
retirement
from
the
office
of
the
Philadelphia
city
commissioners
and
wishes
him
well
in
his
future.
Endeavors
further
resolved
that
an
engrossed
copy
of
this
resolution
be
presented
to
Fred
Voight
for
further
evidence
of
the
sincere
respect
and
admiration
of
this
legislative
body.
The.
M
You
very
much
I
would
like
to
thank
a
couple
of
people.
I
was
like
the
snake
Margaret
to
our
tally,
on
who
I
worked
with
for
many
many
years
and
who
served
this
community
much
the
same
way
that
I
did
I'd
like
to
thank
Commissioner
dealing
and
Commissioner
Schmidt
for
their
continued
service
and
for
the
support
that
they
gave
to
me.
I'd
like
to
thank
Carla
moss.
Who
is
not
here
who
worked
with
me
for
many
years
and
who
deserves
great
accolades
and
I
would
like
to
thank
a
couple
people
in
the
audience.
M
M
Aspiring
sprouts
and
all
of
that
taken
together
has
given
me
great
pleasure
and
the
ability
to
ensure
you
know
people,
people
don't
win
elections
and
throw
it
off
here,
they're
all
stolen,
just
the
losers
I
mean
that
we
in
Philadelphia,
we
don't
just
have
elections,
we
litigate
them,
okay,
we're
always
in
court,
challenging
whatever
we
lost,
but
overall
for
the
most
part.
In
fact,
it's
the
exception
and
not
the
wool
for
an
election
not
to
be
watched
over
by
everybody
with
everybody.
Having
of
you
and
thank
you
very
much
for
the
honor.

of

I've,
been
in
business
for
11
years.
I
have
a
gift
for
mrs.
cannulas
Sanchez,
and
this
was
made
by
the
children
and
they
call
this
the
plant
buddy.
They
made
these
during
the
stem
class
activity
with
one
of
our
learning
partners
in
the
class.
The
children
learn
what
elements
plants
need
to
grow
in
Richard,
Sawyer,
a
water
source
and
sunlight
through
the
Philly
pre-k
program
and
$11.99.
C
P
C
P
We
have
been
able
to
utilize
innovative
observation
tools
such
as
TSG
that
help
us
monitor
and
share
child's
progress
with
the
families
we
also
through
our
Philly
pre-k
hub,
which
is
through
1199
C.
It's
comprised
of
a
collective
of
educated
driven
women
who
support
the
growth
and
the
passion
of
the
continuous
social,
emotional
and
cognitive
learning
of
children.
P
Also,
reducing
expulsion
and
suspension
with
children
once
they
get
to
school
I
hope
that
this
plant
buddy
serves
as
a
reminder
of
how
important
the
Philly
pre-k
program
is
to
many
families
in
this
city
that
did
not
have
access
to
quality,
enriching
care
for
their
children
and
thus
were
not
prepared
for
kindergarten
and
their
children.
Avoiding
being
expelled
and
suspended.
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
listening
to
me.
A
K
My
name
is
Lisa
Smith
I
support
permanently
prohibiting
Philadelphia
elementary
students
from
being
suspended
from
school.
We
must
also
take
steps
to
eradicate
the
behaviors
that
lead
to
suspensions.
To
begin
with,
disruptive
children
are
often
those
who
let
primary
skills
and
get
into
trouble.
I
am
the
co-owner
of
amazing

Academy
LLC,
a
high
quality
early
learning
center
with
three
locations,
one
AG
at
Erie,
one
at
Cheltenham,
a
Loretto
and
another
at
71st
and
Broad
streets.
Each
of
us
who
work
play
or
do
business
in
Philadelphia
has
a
responsibility
to
the
young
children.
K
Here
our
slogan
is
early.
Learning
is
the
key
to
success.
Amazing
kids
Academy
provides
high
quality
early
learning
to
pre-k
children
funded
by
the
soda
tax.
The
soda
sex
is
vital
to
help
provide
pre-k
and
give
Philly
children
the
headstart
they
so
desperately
need
before
entering
elementary
school.
The
soda
tax
allows
for
our
high
quality
pre-k
program
to
offer
for
21st
century
wages,
health
benefit
packages
paid
vacation
holiday,
pay
days
for

The
soda
sets
funding
allows
us
to
offer
high
quality
instruction
that
creates
a
lifetime
lover
of
learning.
K
The
only
proven
way
to
stop
the
cycle
of
generational
poverty,
poverty,
stop
the
actions
that
cause
children
to
rise
to
the
nature
and
occasion
of
having
to
be
suspended
is
through
early
education.
The
future
of
Philadelphia's
workforce
is
at
stake:
Councilwoman
Maria,
Quinn
yonas,
sir
Sanchez.
We
know
that
you're
a
leading
opponent
of
the
soda
tax
as
a
7th
district
business
owner.
We
ask
that
you
support
the
children
and
the
families
in
the
seven
district,
your
community
and
make
sure
the
free,
high
quality
pre-k
seats
paid
for
by
the
soda
tax
does
not
disappear.
K
Councilwoman
is

We
know
that
you
support

We
in
the
ninth
district
love
you
and
thank
you
for
your
support
for
the
future
of
our
young
children.
Even
when
it's
not
popular,
we
will
not
forget
where
you
stand
with
our
young
children
and
early
education
at
the
voting
booth.
Thank
you.
E
Llc
and
we
are
proud
to
offer
high
quality
pre-k
to
the
children
in
the
7th
district.
I
am
asking
that
you
vote
to
permanently
stop
suspending
elementary
school
kids.
We
know
that
early
education
helps
better
prepare
children
for
elementary
school.
Our
Center
currently
provides

to

Please
support

so
that
you
can
help
us
raise
the
levels
of

for
our
inner-city

reduce
the
behaviors
in

that
could
lead

E
O
J
Child
and
amazing
kids
academy
on
avenue,
I'm
here
to
add
another
dynamic
to
the
meeting.
I
am
a
parent
of
another
child
who
was
constantly
suspended
from
school,
and
that
was
before.
We
knew
that
he
had
you
know
autism,
so
he
was
constantly
suspended
from
school
and
all
three
of
my
children
have
CCIS
and
every
time
you
know,
I
had
issues
at
work.
I
would
have
to
quit
and
I
would
lose.
My
funding
I'll
lose
my
CCIS
with
phl
pre-k
I.
Don't
have
to
worry
about
income
guidelines
being
eligible
for
that.
J
J
J
G
We
really
need
your
support
and
reducing
suspension
and
expulsion
schools
and
it
doesn't
start
at
the
elementary
school
level
we're
encouraging
you
to
take
action
now,
while
children
are
young
at
our
earliest
ages
of
3
4
&
5
children
are
sometimes
expelled
and
suspended,
and
we're
encouraging
you
to
support
us
in
our
efforts
to
gain
professional
development
through
the
fil
pre-k
beverage
tax.
Our
teachers
are
growing,
they're,
learning
how
to
address
challenging
behaviors
and
how
to
help
parents
and
Families
support
their
children
early
on.
G
We
regain
access
to
many
resources
that
we
don't
have
usually
without
the
fill
beverage
tax,
which
affects
our
children
when
they
get
to
elementary
school.
The
problems
that
arise
there
can
be
eradicated
at
this
early
age,
so
we're
asking
you
councilmember,
Cindy
bass,
to
take
your
name
off
of
the
sugary
beverage
tax,
we're
in
your
district
and
we
really
need
your
support
over
300.
Kids
are
counting
on
you
to
make
a
difference
in
their
lives.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
I
So
one
nine
zero
zero,
two
seven
I'm
in
support
of
that
bill
in
that
ordinance,
because
I'm,
a
big
fan
of
oversight
and
I
came
over
to
make
my
own
comments
about
the
oversight.
But
you
know
one
also
talked
about
the
young
people
that
I've
seen
today
to
come
in
here.
The
young
people
I
have
four
daughters
myself
and
when
the
four
young
people
in
the
slew
of
young
people
came
in
today,
my
heart
was
warm
to
see
them,
be
a
part
of
this
process
and
observe
the
process.
I
Trees,
so
when
you
fight
for
this
pre-k
there,
the
opportunities
in
pre-k
that
the
goal
is
for
them
to
either
get
a
meaningful
employment
up
in
a
meaningful
job
or
either
owned
a
business
themselves.
When
black
and
brown
people
only
pricks
represent
2.5
percent
of
the
businesses
in
the
city
something's
wrong,
when
women
only
represent
1%
of
the
people
in
the
building
trees,
something
is
wrong,
so,
even
after
pre-k
age,
the
goal
of
the
hope
is
that
they
get
a
meaningful
employment
or
business
opportunity
which
does
not
exist
under
the
current
administration.
I
So
when
we
frankly
for
our
pre-k
kids,
we
should
fight
what
happened
after
they
get
out
of
pre-k.
That's
why
I
applaud
for
rheic
Winona
Sanchez?
That's
why
I
applaud
Cindy
bass,
because
they're
not
just
fighting
for
pre-k,
because
that's
a
52
fake-out
we
get
each
other
to
fight
each
other.
Over
crumbs,
we
got
more
than
enough
funding
to
fund
pre-k.
Let's
be
real!
You
come
down
here.
You
talk
about
funding
pre-k.
I
We
have
over
three
hundred
and
fifty
seven
billion
dollar
surplus
and
even
more
than
that,
if
you
count
all
the
money
that
we
miss
using
and
miss
appropriate,
we
got
tons
of
money
to
fund
pre-k,
but
what
they
get
you
to
do
is
to
fight
me.
We've
got
four
daughters
who
I
pay
for
pre-k
out
of
my
own
pocket,
which
I
wish
I
had
this
program.
When
I
was
funding
256
dollars
a
week,
they
get
me
to
fight
you
over
pre-k.
I
Was
a
supporter
of
the
soda
tax
because
they
said
it
was
fun.
74%
of
the
money
from
the
solar
tax
is
sitting
in
the
general
fund.
I
was
a
supporter
of
the
soda
tax
because
they
told
me
it
would
expand.
Capacity.
We'd
only
have
2.5
percent
of
the
businesses
and
they
just
took
the
largest
contract
from
my
black
business
and
gave
it
to
a
chicago-based
company
because
they
omitted
two
pages
in
a
proposal
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you
something
the
city
has
to
write,
or
they
old
laws.
I
I
know
their
own
RFP
to
omit
any
information,
or
this
clue
exclude
any
information.
Their
proposals,
including
without
limitation,
those
identified
in
sections
1
in
sections
2
proceeding
into
the
city
so
doesn't
mean
the
city
could
have
omitted
the
fact
and
allow
this
company
to
bid
on
a
contract
that
they
had,
but
17
years,
I'm
gonna
try
to
repeat
this
again.
I
This
is
a
contract
that
a
company
had
for
17
years
and
the
city
did
not
allow
them
to
bid
on
a
17
million
dollar
contract
again,
meaning
a
just
that
you
can't
even
fit
on
the
17
million
dollar
contract
that
you
have
for
over
17
years,
because
you
left
our
two
pages
see
you
can't
talk
about
expanding
capacity,
but
take
the
largest
contract
from
a
black
and
brown
firm
at
the
same
time.
So
when
we
care
about
our
young
people,
we
care
about
the
soda
tax
that
we
care
about
funding
pre-k.
I
G
My
name
is
Francesca
I'm
here
as
a
mother,
my
son
just
turned
five
years
old,
he's
part
of
the
Philadelphia
pre-k
program.
It
has
been
a
great
experience
for
my
son
because
he's
learning
the
basic
skills
that
he
needs
to
start
as
a
student
like
letters,
numbers
colors,
I'm
the
perfect
way
to
play
with
other
students
and
their
routine
and
knowing
that
he
needs
to
be
successful
in
kindergarten.
Thanks
to

K
Our
focus
today
is
the
reduction
and
elimination
of
a
suspension
of
elementary
school
children,
but
what
we
should
consider
is
how
to
prevent
this,
and
it
all
starts
with
access
to
early
learning,
aside
from
the
often
repeated
focus
on
math
language,
literacy,
art
and
technology,
quality,
preschool
programs
also
help
build
a
strong
foundation
for
children's
physical,
mental
and
especially
a
social-emotional
development,
and
this
prepares
them
for
a
lifetime.
In
these
programs,
our
children
are
learning
about
conflict
resolution
navigating
their
own
emotions
and
positive
peer
interactions.
K
I
have
had
my
own
countless
conversation
with
elementary
school
professionals,
who
have
stressed
the
importance
of
the
following
for
children's
early
learning
success,
coping
with
emotions,
taking
this
perspective
of
someone
else,
establishing
healthy
relationships
with
peers
and
adults,
expressing
sympathy,
negotiating
skills,
resolving
conflict
without
resorting
to
aggression,
which
is
especially
important
when
we're
talking
about
eliminating
and
reducing
suspension
and
expulsion
of
elementary
children.
Our
Philadelphia
preschool
children
are
worth
at
the
beverage
tax
and
I.
Thank
those
council
members
who
are
in
favor
of
it
and
I
urge
those
who
are
not
to
reconsider.

Q
One
seven
zero
four,
eight,
the
prohibited
petition
of
the
suspension
of
their
mentor
each
student.
We
all
support
the
freaky
I
support
the
increasing
of
education
funding
for
the
children,
but
do
not
think
the
Philadelphia
beverage
status
correctly.
My
family
owns
the
Nile
restaurant
located
in
the
second
district
of
council
man,
Kennedy
Johnson.
My
husband
could
not
be
here
today
right
now.
The
business
can
only
afford
two
permanent
employees.
Q
Is
these
being
one
of
them
today,
it's
very
hard
on
the
business
owner
taxes
like
the
beverage
taxes
piece,
an
unfair
burden
on
the
business
close
to
the
city
line
that
businesses
across
the
city
line,
and
only
many
some
ORS
don't
have
to
deal
with.
We
bought
our
immigrants.
I've
lived
here
in
Philadelphia
for
34
years.
We
have
four
children.
We
have
been
in
the
business
for
six
years
and
there
has
been
a.
C
Q
Difference
between
the
success
of
the
business
before
and
after
the
test
we
have,
we
hope
we
had
hope
that
operates
in
a
small
business
would
be
easier
over
the
time.
But
since
the
introduction
of
the
beverage
tax
or
sales
has
dropped
a
great
deal
so
much
that
we
can
reach
that,
we
recently
had
to
return.
The
cooler
leads
to
us
buy
the
supplies,
because
the
business
weren't
ordering
enough
fulfill
on
the.
Q
F
If
individuals
give
any
opportunity
to
represent
the
interests
of
their
constituents,
neighbors
and
fellow
man
and
woman
decide
to
inject
malicious
intent
towards
others
because
of
their
religious
beliefs.
It
must
be
dealt
with
swiftly.
Stephanie
boretz
remarks
were
divisive
and
undermined
the
very
idea
that
this
country
allows
for
religious
and
political
freedoms.

speaking
in

of
Bill

Preparation
introduced
by
Councilwoman
Blackwell.
Here.
B
A
H
You,
mr.
president,
I
request
that
this
go
before
our
Housing
Committee
with
the
chair,
lady
Councilwoman
Blackwell,
who
has
historically
dealt
with
this
issue
from
homelessness
to
occupancy
and
I,
want
to
do
it
through
that
committee.
But
one
of
the
things
that
I
found
out
was
that
you
had
already
gone
down
to
Cleveland
and
examined
the
lease
to
own
program
out
there
and
when
I
called
that
talked
about
you
kind
of
laying
out
the
groundwork
of
how
that
could
actually
be
here
and
Philadelphia.
So
I'm
thankful
for
your
homework.
H
2300
units
of
new
housing,
not
rehab,
brand-new,
stick-built,
housing
and
I
think
they
were
the
tip
of
the
spear
during
the
housing
downturn
and
managed
to
use
that
tool.
In
spite
of
what
banks
were
going
to
do.
In
spite
of
some
of
the
challenges
that
people
were
facing,
coming
up
with
the
down
payment
and
closing
costs,
they
managed
to
think
their
way
through
and
I.
H
Think
we
may
do
it
a
little
different
here
in
Philadelphia,
but
I
think
they
have
clearly
lit
the
on
how
this
kind
of
program
might
attract
workforce,
housing
and
people
trying
to
make
it
in
challenged
areas
that
are
being
gentrified.
So
I
look
forward
to
those
hearings
in
council,
black
Council
and
Blackwell's
committee.
Thank
you.
