D
Councilman
green
offers
one
bill
and
two
resolutions
entitled
an
ordinance
amending
subsection,
192604,
subparagraph

of
the
philippi
code,
credit

On

C
C
C
I
first
want
to
acknowledge
the
wallace
family,
walter's,
mother
and
father,
his
wife
dominique
and
his
nine
children.
No
family
should
ever
have
to
experience
what
they've
been
through
and
no
amount
of
reform
that
the
city
enacts
in
response
to
walter's
death
will
ever
fill
the
hole
that's
been
created
for
them.
C
Speaking
personally
I'll,
never
forget
the
shock.
I
felt
when
I
learned
the
news
of
his
death.
As
my
colleagues
and
I
sat
in
a
hearing
about
police
oversight,
efforts,
the
horror
of
watching
the
video
footage
of
seeing
walters
family
and
neighbors
pleading
for
restraint
in
the
mere
seconds
that
police
were
on
the
scene
before
gunshots
rang
out
the
demonstrations
and
the
unrest
in
the
wake
of
walter's
death
and
philadelphians
passionate
outcries
and
demands
for
change.
C
As
we
all
know,
just
a
few
months
earlier
in
minneapolis
george
floyd's
murder
at
the
hands
of
police
reignited
a
civil
rights
movement-
that's
been
going
on
for
centuries
in
this
country,
for
the
state
to
value
black
lives
and
for
law
enforcement
to
stop
treating
black
bodies
as
dispensable
and
tragically
walter's.
Subsequent
death
made
it
crystal
clear
that
george
floyd's
death
isn't
just
about
george
floyd.
C
We
need
to
drastically
alter
the
way
we
treat
people
and
how
we
care
for
people
not
just
with
regards
to
policing
and
not
just
in
times
of
crisis
but
from
birth
and
with
every
point
of
contact
we
have
with
every
philadelphian.
From
that
moment
on.
The
city
has
taken
some
important
steps
in
this
direction.
C
We
need
to
go
much
much
further
to
ultimately
provide
supportive
crisis
response
and,
more
than
that,
to
nurture
supportive
communities
that
all
philadelphians,
regardless
of
your
race,
your
income
or
your
zip
code,
deserve
to
be
born
into
and
to
my
elected
colleagues,
let
us
all
continue
to
work
towards
a
future
where
young
black
men,
like
walter,
are
protected
and
loved,
not
just
by
their
families
but
by
our
city
too.
Thank
you
so
much.

has
passed.
A
You

conclude
your
remarks
and
shortly
thereafter
you
will
be
muted
and
disconnected
from
the
remote
meeting,
also
reserve
the
right
limit.
The
number
of
speakers
with
repetitious
comments
that
are
being
made
on
the
same
subject
matter,
which
could
affect
call
backs
for
public
comment
at
the
meeting.
A
Also,
please
be
aware
that
the

no
reasonable
expectation
of
privacy.
So,
by
continuing
to
be

this
meeting,
you
are
consenting

I
really
want
to
thank
you
today
for
your
willingness
and
your
interest
in
participating
in
today's
council
session.
I'll
now
ask
mr
decker.
Please
read
the
first
name
on
the
list
for
our
speakers
today.
L
L
So
you
know
the
mission
of
habitat
is
one
we
all
respect,
but
this
here
is
adding
insult
to
injury.
They
already
have
permit
parking
on
this
block.
They
already
have
handicapped
parking
and
they're
competing
with
temple.
Students
with
this
parking
lot
here
is
truly
unfortunate
with
all
of
the
land
in
the
fifth
district.
L
L
It's
amazing
to
watch
african-american
citizens
seniors
at
this
point
being
disrespected
disrespected
about
something
as
basic
as
parking
when
we
know
in
north
central,
especially
where
temple
university
is,
there's
a
much
need
for
parking.
It's
just.
I
just
want
to
register
that.
I
just
want
to
know
if
there
are
any
habitat
donors
in
the
sound
of
my
voice.
L
This
is
what
your
dollars
are
going
towards
in
this
regard
on
this
development
1600
block
of
page
street
four
houses
that
will
bring
hell
to
the
senior
citizens
that
live
there,
I'm
gonna
put
a
pen
in
with
that,
because
these
are
my
neighbors.
These
are
people.
I've
always
advocated,
for
this
is
out
of
order.
L
Last
but
not
least,
regarding
210
851,
I
just
hope
and
pray
that
all
this
murder
and
mayhem
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
that
something
will
be
done,
whether
you
get
the
money
or
not
whether
you
get
the
money
from
the
federal
government
or
not.
We
need
to
do
something
about
the
murders
of
african
americans,
mostly
400,
plus
so
with
that
I'm
just
going
to
leave
it
alone.
Today,
you
all
have
a
great
one.
L
A
L
It's
dedicated,
it's
dedicated,
it's
a
line
down
the
middle
sir,
dedicating
the
parking
lot
with
an
arrow
for
the
people
on
pay
street.
However,
anybody
and
everybody
uses
it
when
election
day,
people
quickly
park
there
and
run
into
school
of
engineering
and
science
to
vote.
So,
although
it
is
dedicated,
it
was
never
done
legally.
You
probably
know
that
it
was
never
put
in
writing,
but
there's
a
line
delineating,
that
is,
for
the
people
in
the
1600
block
of
paint
street
much
needed
much
needed
even
to
this
day.
L
Okay,
because
the
folks
are
running
in
and
out
to
the
doctor's
appointments
they
are
jumping
up
early
in
the
morning.
You
should
hear
the
stories
that
were
announced
at
the
redevelopment
authority.
These
people
need
the
parking
because
they
can't
they're,
not
mobile,
so
so
yes,
it's
needed.
It's
dedicated.
It
was
dedicated
to
them.
A
L
A
F
B
I
do
live
on
the
1600
block
of
page
I've
been
living
here
for
51
years
now,
and
the
line
to
piggy
bank
off
of
what
miss
robin
was
stating.
There
was
a
designated
area
for
us
where
there
was
a
line,
partly
lying
belonged
to
the
carver
school.
They
opted
because
they
knew
this
was
coming
down
the
pike
to
park
in
the
school
yard,
whereas
we
on
page
street
had
enough
parking
for
eight
cars,
but
the
parking
that
was
on
the
opposite.
Adjacent
to
that
parking
on
pay.
B
Street
carver
has
relinquished
that
right
and
triple
has
been
parking
there
or
neighborhoods
who,
from
all
over
and
and
and
four
breezes,
have
been
parking
there
and
if
I
go
to
the
doctors
or
I
have
a
neighbor
that
has
a
one-year-old
son,
she
just
moved
here
from
one
of
the
habitat
houses.
If
that
child
grows
up,
there's
going
to
be
no
parking
around
here,
so
where's
that
child
going
to
park
you're
putting
more
houses
than
renee,
but
already
congested.
B
Okay,
I
thought
maybe
it
was
going
to
be
three
houses
and
then,
when
you
do
the
building
we've
never
had
rats
in
this
neighborhood.
That's
a
health
issue
in
itself.
Now
I'm
part
of
the
eight
that's
disabled,
okay,
I
can't
walk
all
the
way
from
nars
street
to
walk
all
the
way
around
like
they
suggested
from
the
office
to
my
home.
I
live
in
the
middle
of
the
block,
you're
gonna
inconvenience
me
again.
B
You
did
it
once
before,
but
yet
we
had
the
parking
lots
where
we
can
cut
through,
because
it
was
a
driveway
from
page
street
onto
nars
street
and
now
you're,
gonna,
you're
gonna
end
me,
I'm
afraid
to
go
to
the
doctors.
I
have
to
get
up
5
30
in
the
morning
to
go
shopping
for
myself,
because
if
I
don't
I
did
not
move
on
a
sunday,
because
not
only
that
the
church
from
17th
and
diamond,
they
part
there
on
sundays.
So
I
get
no
relief.
B
It's
a
constant
worry
and
I
need
my
car
because
then
you're
cutting
my
mobility,
which
is
cutting
my
quality
of
life.
How
am
I
to
feed
myself
or
get
my
medication,
and
then
we
don't
want
to
talk
about
when
it
snows
it's
even
worse.
Now,
what's
going
to
happen,
is
it's
going
to
be
an
all-out
war?
You
have
some
people
that
are
parking,
I'm
paying
35
for
a
parking
permit,
that
the
city
collects
on
a
that.
B
They
call
a
non-existing
parking
lot,
but
it
is
because
we
have
two-hour
parking
there
and
now
we're
we're
sitting
here
and
temple,
and
everybody
else
is
parking
here
for
free
okay
for
two
hours,
but
if
they
over
park
they
leave
the
tickets
on
there
and
they
still
be
there
and
then
I'm
still
stuck
okay,
okay,
how
much?
How
much?
How
much
time
do
I
go?
We
did
we
hit
the
one
the
rats
did
we
hit
hit
on
that?
Oh
cause.
I've
never
seen
it's
scary.
B
B
B
I
understand
the
city
needs
money,
but
how
about
this?
How
about
they
take
and
build
the
three
houses
on
this
grass
little
piece
of
land
and
leave
us
the
parking
lot
or,
if
not,
that,
then
leave
a
parking
lot,
all
the
way
from
16
or
whatever,
to
1616
all
the
way
across
the
la
make
that
a
parking
lot
and
build
houses
upward,
like
you
know,
like
an
apartment
building,
but
to
have
the
underground
parking.
B
A
It's
midnight,
okay,
I
got
you,
I'm
I'm
actually
going
to
request
that
this
resolution
be
held
today.
Okay,
further
conversation,
because
I
hear
you,
I
obviously
know
the
problem
with
parking
just
generally,
not
only
in
that
area,
but
actually
in
the
entire
city,
which
is
another
subject,
matter
needs
to
be
addressed.
It's
okay!
I
got
you
thanks.
Thank
you
for
your
testimony.
F
D
F
F
So
I
don't
think
a
fire
truck
an
ambulance.
Anything
like
that
would
be
able
to
fit
through
this
road
without
that
parking
lot.
So
if
there's
a
fire
on
this
block,
I
don't
think
you'd
be
able
to
save
any
of
the
houses.
If
that
habitat
goes
up
and
yeah
just
going
off
of
what
all
my
other
neighbors
said,
that's
really
it!
B
Antoinette
murphy
to
not
be
redundant.
I
agree
with
everyone
that
has
spoken
so
far
in
regards
to
two
one:
zero,
eight,
four
eight.
This
is
really
a
community
concern
in
regards
to
the
building
of
the
new
construction
homes.
The
uncut
plots
the
rodents
as
a
health
hazard,
the
parking
issues,
especially
illegally
due
to
the
temple
students,
the
street
blockage
due
to
construction
and
also,
as
the
gentleman
just
mentioned
in
regards
to
the
tree
limbs,
you
know
license
and
expansion
in
regards
to
the
city
itself.
You
know
the
fire
happens
on
that
street.
B
A
A
G
Thank
you,
council
president,
before
I
call
for
the
motion
to
adopt
this
resolution.
I
just
want
to
highlight
how
critically
important
that
our
congressional
delegation
support
and
vigorously
fight
for
the
five
billion
dollar
commitment
from
president
biden
in
a
build
back
better
budget.
I
know
all
of
you
have
been
paying
attention
to
the
debate
around
a
reconciliation
bill
which
recently
has
been
stripped
with
the
free
college,
free
community
college
for
everyone.
G
So
we
can
have
a
long-term
overall
strategy
to
fight
gun
violence,
not
only
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
but
also
across
the
state
of
pennsylvania,
our
nation.
We
know
that
we
didn't
get
to
this
state
by
a
we
didn't
get
to
this
state
by
not
investing
in
this
issue
of
gun
violence.
So
the
only
way
we're
going
to
get
our
our
way
out
of
this
situation
is
by
investing
in
addressing
the
assistance
issue
of
gun
violence
with
resources.
So
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out.
A
A
D
A
E
A
A
A
A
D
A
F
F
D
A
D
I
do,
mr
president,
a
resolution
authorizing
the
committee
on
global
opportunities
and
creative
innovative
economy
to
hold
hearings
to
receive
the
report
of
the
arts
and
culture
task
force
formed
by
the
committee
to
learn
about
its
findings
and
the
actions
taken
thus
thus
far
taken
and
to
review.
The
impact
of
this
work
on
the
vital
arts
and
culture
sector
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
introduced
by
councilman.
Thomas.
I
K
A
We
will
proceed
through
our
speeches
now
that
we
have
concluded
our
calendar
for
the
day
and
prior
to
recognizing
members
regarding
speeches,
I
will
not
pull
the
record
at
this
time
that
we
will
use
the
chat
feature
available
on
microsoft's
team
to
allow
members
to
signify
that
they
wish
to
be
recognized
in
order
to
comply
with
the
sunshine
act.
The
chat
feature
must
only
be
used
for
this
particular
purpose.
With
that
said,
speeches
on
behalf
of
the
minority
chair
recognizes
councilman.
Oh.
J
Thank
you
very
much.
Council
president
last
council
session.
I
talked
about
a
very
disturbing
situation
and
that
that
is
about
nine
mothers
and
their
children,
who
are
being
literally
shot
at
their
homes
shot
at
their
children
shot
at,
and
I
posted
a
picture
on
facebook
and
social
media
of
a
lamp
pole.
J
They
are
the
mothers
of
children
who
have
cooperated
with
law
enforcement,
sometimes
because
they
are
themselves
being
investigated
and
their
children
have
been
hurt,
and
in
this
particular
case
the
14
year
old
daughter
has
been
shot
at.
The
nine-year-old
boy
has
been,
you
know,
traumatized
and
and
and
and
so
they
being
the
mothers
of
the
the
witnesses
and
those
that
cooperate
are
being
attacked
by
very
young
people,
13
14
year
olds,
and
that
makes
it
very
difficult
for
them.
They
need
to
be
relocated.
J
J
G
Yeah,
just
just
a
point
of
information
on
councilman
this.
Obviously
this
issue
that
very
near
and
dear
to
my
heart
as
well
as
councilman
curtis
jones.
I
just
want
to
add
some
additional
information.
Have
you
been
in
contact
with
our
district
attorney's
office?
Have
you
also
been
in
contact
with
social
service
organizations
that
receive
reallocation?
Funding
such
as
the
emir,
which
is
every
murder,
is
real
and
also
I'm
gonna
ask
for
to
chair
public
safety.
G
I
know
he
did
hearings
in
the
past
regarding
his
very
same
issue,
to
also
perhaps
provide
a
brief
insight
as
to
where
we're
at
in
terms
of
this
particular
issue
because
councilman,
I
do
clearly
agree
with
you
that
when
individuals
come
forward
to
help
solve
homicides
and
put
themselves
on
the
line,
we
always
say.
If
you
see
something
say
something:
if
you
know
something
say
something,
and
if
you
have
non-families
that
aren't
protected,
then
we
should
be
doing
everything
possible
to
make
sure
that
they
are
protected.
J
Yes-
and
I
thank
you
for
that-
I
did
speak
to
the
mothers.
I
will
say
they
are
extremely
nervous-
scared,
frightened
crying,
very
difficult.
It
takes
a
very
long
time
for
me
to
actually
engage
with
them.
Unfortunately,
yes,
they
they
have
tried
and-
and
some
of
them
believe
that
they
were
promised
relocation.
J
That
has
not
worked
out
for
a
number
of
reasons,
and
just
because
I
was
not
personally
there,
I
don't
want
to
say
things
that
are
hearsay,
things
that
I
may
not.
You
know
completely
understand
I
like
to
do
due
diligence,
but
there
is
a
failing,
but
yes,
they
have
communicated
with
the
police.
They
have
communicated
with
the
the
social
services
entities,
not
amir,
for
example.
Specifically,
they
have
worked
with
different
community
activists,
community
groups.
J
They
have
dealt
with
the
district
attorney's
office.
They
feel
very
much
let
down
they're
very
suspicious
of
media
and
politicians
like
myself,
very
understandably,
but
I
would
like
to
speak
with
both
you
as
the
the
head
of
the
gun,
violence,
task
force
and
and
councilman
jones
as
head
of
public
safety.
Just
to
brief
you,
you
know
kind
of
confidentially.
I
I
will
be
speaking
with
requested
a
meeting
with
our
council
president
and
with
our
appropriations
chair
on
this
topic.
J
What
people
are
saying
to
me
is
they
have
to
be
moved
yesterday.
If
we
can
move
one
or
two
the
others
will
come
forward.
You
know.
Obviously
we
need
a
a
process
to
make
sure
that
there
aren't
any
false
claims
due
diligence,
those
type
of
things,
but
the
most
immediate
thing,
and
I
will
say,
having
served
in
the
district
attorney's
office
of
philadelphia
and
having
done
criminal
defense
for
about
20
years
as
part
of
what
I
did
as
an
attorney.
I
am
familiar
with
relocation,
protective
services
both
at
the
federal
state
and
municipal
level.
J
There
is
a
gap
here
that
needs
to
be
filled,
and
so
I'm
bringing
it
to
your
attention
that
I
will
move
forward
on
a
topic.
That
is
something
that
is
very
important
to
many
of
you,
and
I
think
that
we
can
solve
this
problem
by
moving
this
mother
and
her
two
children
immediately.
Thank
you
very
much
council
president.
A
C
C
As
the
climate
crisis
worsens
and
our
seasonal
temperatures
become
more
extreme,
a
lack
of
tree
coverage
means
hotter
summers
and
communities
that
are
more
susceptible
to
flooding
and
communities
like
mine,
where
gun
violence,
crisis
has
turned
families
in
neighborhoods
apart.
Community
gardens
offers
spaces
for
young
people
to
get
your
hands
dirty,
connect
with
employment
opportunities
and
create
authentic
relationships,
and
these
spaces
foster
intergenerational
community
and
increase
access
to
food,
fresh
food
and
to
beautify
our
city.
C
Some
of
my
team
has
spent
a
few
days.
Visiting
grassroots
community
run
gardens
across
the
city,
and
I
can
say
firsthand
the
work
that
these
neighborhood
spaces
do
is
nothing
short
of
transformative
identification
accelerates
across
our
city
and
predatory
development
displaces
long-term
residents.
Protecting
community
gardens
isn't
just
a
matter
of
value
of
gardens
themselves.
It's
about
protecting
the
integrity,
diversity
and
character
of
our
neighborhoods,
which,
in
my
opinion,
is
what
makes
philadelphia.
One
of
the
greatest
cities
in
the
world.
C
I
deeply
appreciate
the
work
that
many
of
my
senior
colleagues
have
been
doing
for
years
to
protect
community
gardens
and
open
spaces
from
share
sales.
We
need
an
all
hands
on
that
collaborative
approach
to
find
long-term
solutions
and
preserve
these
spaces
for
generations
to
come.
So
thank
you,
council
president,
and
thank
you
from
to
my
colleagues
for
their
support
and
I
hope
to
see
you
in
the
hearing
tomorrow
to
get
this
work
done.
Thank
you.
So
much.
H
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
just
want
to
remind
those
that
you
know
tuesday
is
election
day.
You
know
there's
no
off
year
elections.
Every
election
is
important.
We
sacrificed
quite
a
bit
for
the
right
to
vote
on
tuesday's
election.
We
have
some
very
important
races
from
the
supreme
court
superior
court
commonwealth
court
court
income,
please
retention
judges
as
well
as
our
county
officials,
both
district
attorney
and
city
controller.
H
We
also
have
some
ballot
questions
on
the
ballot
and
I
want
to
talk
about
one
ballot
question
in
particular:
the
housing
trust
fund.
Now
this
is
a
question.
That's
been
supported
by
the
community,
in
particular
the
philadelphia
coalition
for
affordable
communities,
and
I
want
to
thank
noor,
lichtasch
and
women's
community
revitalization
project
as
well
as
rick,
sauer
and
andy
toy
sean,
the
philadelphia
cdc's
and
tom
earl
and
nancy
salandra
from
liberty
resources
for
their
support
of
this
ballot.
H
So
I
was
somewhat
surprised
when
the
inquirer
stated
they
support
the
housing,
trust
fund
and
its
programs,
but
was
against
this
ballot
question
and
I'm
surprised
because
they
stated
that
this
question
would
bind
the
hands
of
future
mayors
and
future
councils.
But
this
legislation
was
specifically
drafted
to
not
do
that
and
and
have
our
finance
director
make
the
state.
If
we
have
a
financial
challenge,
why
would
we
would
not
be
able
to
do
a
housing
trust
fund
allocation
in
that
year?
H
Many
of
them
who
have
lost
their
jobs,
may
lose
their
homes
and,
most
importantly,
have
lost
loved
ones
due
to
19.
the
same
residents,
including
many
seniors,
and
people
with
disabilities
who
have
endured
threats
to
their
health
and
well-being
and
significant
financial
losses
will
soon
face
more
risks.
H
As
this
year's
budget
includes
minimal
resources
from
the
city's
general
fund
for
the
creation
of
preservation
of
affordable
housing
to
the
housing
trust
fund,
which
is
responsible
for
finding
programs
that
aid
at
risk
renters
providing
grants
to
make
home
repairs
or
accessible
accessibility
improvements
for
residents
with
disabilities
and
supporting
the
creation
and
preservation
of
affordable
homes,
unfortunately
philadelphia
a
city
with
one
of
the
highest
poverty
rates
in
population.
People
with
disabilities
remains
one
of
the
only
major
cities
in
the
country
prioritize
shouldn't
prioritize
our
affordable
housing
to
an
annual
mandated
general
fund
budget
appropriation.
H
For
example,
washington
dc
has
made
a
commitment
to
provide
a
minimum
of
a
hundred
million
to
their
housing
trust
fund.
Although
philadelphia
does
have
a
dedicated
software
housing
trust
fund
dollars,
our
real
estate
transfer,
recording
fees,
this
source
amounts
to
someone
say
a
poultry
9
to
14
million
dollars
per
year,
not
nearly
enough
to
meet
the
growing
need
for
all
the
for
more
on
housing
than
they
can
afford.
H
The
question
on
the
november
2nd
ballot
places
this
funding
opportunity
in
the
hands
of
voters
and
would
amend
the
city's
home
real
charter
to
implement
a
mandatory
annual
appropriation
of
at
least
0.5
percent
of
the
general
fund
to
the
housing
trust
fund.
A
yes
vote
would
ensure
the
urgent,
affordable
housing
needs
in
our
city
are
met.
This
will
translate
to
26
million
dollars
next
fiscal
year
here
for
the
house
of
the
trust
fund
based
on
our
5.2.
H
H
A
poll
by
the
pew
travel
trust
showed
that
one
in
four
families
have
fallen
behind
in
rent
and
mortgage
payments
when
renters
aren't
unable
to
pay
what
they
owe.
It
leads
to.
Evictions
increases
and
increases
homelessness,
especially
for
rent,
which
is
of
color.
75
percent
of
latinx
residents
and
55
of
black
residents,
reported
struggling
to
pay
their
bills
and
in
north
west
and
south
philadelphia
displacement
for
rising
housing
costs
has
pushed
out
more
than
32
percent
of
black
community
residents.
H
These
numbers
are
devastating,
but
it's
not
too
late
to
make
a
difference.
Supporting
the
housing
trust
fund
referendum
ballot.
Question
number
four
will
bring
tens
of
thousands
of
our
community
members,
one
step
closer
to
securing
safe,
accessible
and
affordable
housing,
and
I
strongly
encourage
philadelphia
voters
to
vote
yes
and
make
a
strong
statement
that
funding,
affordable
housing
should
be
a
priority.
Thank
you.
H
G
Thank
you
very
much
council
president
one.
I
just
wanted
to
first
acknowledge
councilman
jones
bill
that
will
allow
illinois
to
go
in
and
address
issues
of
concerns
and
large
apartment
facilities
where
landlords
aren't
doing
their
due
diligence
as
relation
to
the
upkeeping
and
maintenance
of
those
facilities,
and
so
councilman
jones
good
job
in
your
work,
because
I
get
calls
on
the
day-to-day
basis
of
bad
actors
and
the
tenants
happening
to
figure
out
a
way
how
to
live
in
humane
conditions
when
individuals
aren't
being
responsible.
G
We
don't
need
a
strike
right
now
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia,
because
it
will
significantly
impact
not
only
future
events
coming
up,
such
as
election
day
but,
most
importantly
on
our
children,
those
60
000
young
people
who
go
to
school,
those
60
000
families
who
depend
on
our
public
transportation
system
to
get
their
children
to
and
from
school.
And
so
I
come
from
a
union
household.
So
I
understand
the
importance
of
going
on
strike.
G
My
management
aren't
negotiating
in
good
faith,
but
I'm
hopefully
hopeful
that
in
this
particular
case,
as
we
move
forward,
a
strike
will
be
prevented.
The
workers
will
be
supported
and
also
I
call
on
our
state
legislators
and
those
in
the
federal
government
to
provide
the
additional
funding
to
support
scepter
from
an
infrastructure,
standpoint
and
operational
standpoint
as
we
move
forward
being
a
former
member
of
the
state
legislator
on
working
with
our
current
majority
leader,
sherelle
parker.
G
When
she
was
the
delegation
chair,
we
work
to
make
sure
we
pass
the
gas
tax
to
support
scepter.
So
they
can
have
the
operational
resource
that
they
can
use
to
utilize
to
support
not
only
their
operations
but,
most
importantly,
support
our
workers.
And
so
from
my
understanding
there
isn't
a
proposal
of
support
in
harrisburg
as
of
today.
But
nevertheless
I
just
want
to
put
our
state
friends
on
notice
on
the
state
level,
as
well
as
on
the
federal
level
who's
negotiating.
G
This
current
budget
reconciliation
act
and
not
only
focusing
on
infrastructure
support
but
also
operational
support,
that
a
lot
of
management
can
do
their
part
but
most
importantly,
support
those
workers
that
go
to
and
from
work
day
in
and
day
out
on
the
front
line
and
those
are
separate
workers.
And
so
I
just
want
to
put
that
out
there
for
the
record.
G
I
Thank
you.
Mr
president,
I
want
to
first
thank
member,
oh
for
taking
on
the
issue
of
relocation
without
witnesses.
There
is
no
justice
without
people
that
come
forward,
we
we
can't
get
the
convictions
on
those
who
are
are
plaguing
our
neighborhoods
with
violence.
So
my
office
will
be
reaching
out
to
you
and
member
johnson
to
talk
about
a
couple
of
things,
one
the
effect
of
whether
or
not
the
resources
exist
to
do
proper
relocation
of
witnesses.
I
I
think,
if
we
coordinate
with
hud
coordinate
with
the
philadelphia
housing
authority
coordinate
with
the
city
of
philadelphia,
we
can
provide
reasonable
accommodations
for
witnesses.
I
recall
a
couple
of
years
back,
a
witness
was
relocated
in
one
of
the
strangest
hotels.
Mr
president,
right
across
the
street,
it
was
supposed
to
be
hidden
everybody.
It
was
the
worst
kept
secret
in
philadelphia.
I
I
We
have
to
do
better
if
we're
asking
people
to
see
something
say
something
we
have
to
be
there
for
them,
so
we'll
reach
out
to
you.
Thank
you,
councilman,
oh
for
for,
for
focusing
on
that.
Remember
johnson
and
I
we'll
be
right
there
with
you.
What
I'd
also
like
to
talk
about
very
briefly,
mr
president,
is
bill
2
1,
0
205,
which
is
the
urgent
repairs
program.
I
worked
it
with
lni
phdc.
I
But
let
me
tell
you
the
why,
whether
you
talk
about
big
buildings
like
the
pavilion
that
had
over
200
units,
they
lost
their
their
electric.
During
the
high
point
of
the
heat
of
the
summer,
they
were
working
off
of
a
backup
generator.
Anyway,
there
was
about
13
floors
former
well
before
he
was
a
representative
almond
brown,
and
one
of
my
staff
went
around
there
because
the
electric
went
off,
which
meant
the
elevators
didn't
work.
I
There
were
seniors
born
walkers
attempting
to
get
out
of
the
fire
exits
coming
downstairs,
using
the
light
from
their
flashlights
of
their
cell
phones.
This
is
unacceptable
when
we
look
at
places
like
that.
That
also
don't
do
the
needed,
repairs,
l
and
I
comes
in
as
they
should
and
says,
without
these
sprinkler
systems.
Without
these
generators,
we're
going
to
have
to
close
you
down,
that's
over
200
citizens
of
philadelphia
that
wind
up
homeless,
some
of
them
get
relocated
with
family,
but
others
of
them
wind
up
in
our
emergency
shelter
systems.
I
So,
whether
you're
talking
about
big
units
like
that,
mr
president
or
small
units
single
homes
on
neighborhood
blocks,
where
we
saw
a
lady
in
a
neighborhood
tour
sitting
on
the
port
sun
bathing-
and
you
could
see
next
door
that
the
ceiling
from
the
porch
had
separated
that
water
had
gotten
through
it.
That
rodents
such
as
possums
and
raccoon
at
night,
ran
up
and
down
that
habitat
and
her
property
was
being
damaged
because
a
derelict
property
owner
would
not
make
those
repairs.
I
But
with
this
bill
elle
and
I
can
come
and
make
those
repairs
ellen,
I
will
be
able
to
remove
those
dreaded
weed
trees.
You
know
what
I'm
talking
about
that
seem
to
grow
impervious
through
walls
into
other
people's
ceilings
and
roofs,
that
we
can
now
kind
of
take
a
look
at
in
a
pilot
way
and
then
in
an
expanded
way
to
repair
cities
like
new
york.
Washington
dc,
los
angeles,
do
not
play
with
these
kinds
of
conditions.
They
make
repairs,
they
make
liens.
I
They
make
speculators
that
come
into
our
neighborhoods,
buy
properties,
don't
put
money
in
them
and
then
wait
for
the
market
to
catch
up.
So
they
can
get
wind
fall
practice.
Well,
when
you
go
to
that
settlement
table,
we
hope
to
be
there
to
get
our
repair
money
back.
So
I
thank
you,
mr
president,
for
this
being
one
of
the
things
you
helped
shepherd
through
I'm
in
the
in
the
budget
negotiations
that
no
one
sees,
but
we
see
weighing
on
you.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
delayed
gratification
of
this
bill.
