Thank
you

good
morning

D
A
That's
president
clark
and
good
morning
to
you
all
thank
you
for
establishing
we're
going
to
get
started
to
give
our
invocation.
This
morning
the
chair
recognizes
pastor
brian
h,
grant
of
germantown
christian
assembly
he's
here
today
as
the
guest
of
councilman
green.
I
would
ask
all
members
and
guests
to
please
bow
your
heads
for
the
invocation
pastor.
Please
proceed.
N
So
they're,
not
just
let
me
just
say
one
thing:
I'm
aware
that
you
know
men
in
our
country
no
longer
believe
in
prayer,
but
I
believe
after
the
horrific
offense
of
this
week
and
all
of
what
we
have
been
seeing,
it's
good
to
have
a
god
who
we
can
turn
to
and
we're
just
going
to
petition
him.
He
invites
us
to
come
boldly
to
his
throne
of
grace,
and
so
let's
go
there
right
now,
dear
heavenly
father,
thank
you
for
the
open
access
we
have
to
you.
N
N
We
pray
that
you,
the
god
of
all
comforts,
will
give
strength
and
comfort
to
the
parents
and
the
loved
ones
grieving,
not
only
from
the
horrific
tragedies
that
has
happened
recently
in
texas
and
in
new
york.
But
lord,
we
pray
for
the
families
that
are
grieving
because
of
the
senseless
murders
that
have
been
taking
place
on
the
streets
of
many
of
our
cities.
N
God
we
need
you
really
badly,
but
father
as
we
come
seeking
your
help,
we
must
admit
that
we
have
not
always
been
faithful
to
you,
and
so
god
we
ask
that
you
might
forgive
us
for
drifting
away
from
your
path,
god
that
you
may
forgive
us
for
allowing
our
feet
to
stray
from
the
place
where
we
met
you,
god
that
you
might
forgive
us
for
allowing
yourselves
to
become
so
drunk
by
the
wine
of
the
world,
that
very
often
we
have
forgotten
you,
god.
We
need
you
right
now
and
I
pray
that
by
your
spirit.
N
We
thank
you
for
the
members
of
the
philadelphia
city
council
members
who
you
have
ordained
to
leave
this
city
at
such
a
time
as
this
lord,
we
know
their
work
is
not
easy
for
every
day
they
must
grapple
with
challenges
that
are
so
huge,
and
I
pray
god
that
you
will
help
them.
You
will
give
them
the
wisdom
that
they
need
to
unravel
and
find
solutions
to
these
problems,
and
I
pray
lord
that
they
will
recognize.
N
There
is
help
in
jesus
and
I
pray
that
they
indeed
will
seek
your
wisdom
and
they
may
get
your
wisdom.
You
tell
us
that
you
for
those
of
us
who
ask
of
you
wisdom.
You
will
give
us
liberally
so
give
them
liberally
of
your
wisdom.
We
pray,
strengthen
them
and
help
them,
as
only
you
can
lord
through
them
bless
our
city
and
bring
change,
and
we
thank
you
for
what
you
will
do
in
the
name
of
the
save
our
savior
lord
and
christ
amen.
A
Amen,
thank
you
pastor.
So
much
for
your
invocation
and
your
spiritual
guidance
this
morning.
We
really
appreciate
it
and
much
needed.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.

B
Retirement
code
by
modifying
the
circumstances
when,
when
city
of
philadelphia,
retirees
continue
to
receive
retirement
benefits
following
re-employment,
providing
for
other
related
benefit
requirements
and
making
certain
technical
changes
and
amending
chapter
2900
of
the
welfare
code
entitled
health
welfare
benefits
for
pensioned
employees.
By
modifying
the
circumstances
when
the
city
of
philadelphia,
retirees
who
are
re-employed,
must
contribute
to
their
health
and
welfare
benefits
and
to
any
applicable
union.
Mr
president,
councilwoman
parker
will
be
like
to.
L
Thank
you,
mr
president.
Mr
president,
when
we
unveil
to
philadelphia,
neighborhood
safety
and
community
policing
plan
on
march
to
30th,
one
of
the
things
I
stated
for
the
record
was
that
the
people
of
philadelphia
did
not
want
us.
Those
of
us
who
are
elected
to
public
office
to
simply
be
expert
articulators
of
the
problems
facing
our
city
instead.
L
With
this
in
mind,
mr
president,
I
have
to
thank
our
law
department
and
my
staff
rachel
and
jennifer
in
particular,
for
going
beyond
the
call
of
duty
to
turn
around
this
legislation
to
meet
the
timeline
that
we
are
working
against.
I
must
also
state
for
the
record
that,
while
I
have
not
met
in
person
with
any
of
our
municipal
unions
regarding
this
legislation,
it
has
been
circulated
to
each
of
them
and
I
will
be
meeting
with
them.
L
As
of
today,
the
fire
department
has
700
positions,
they
are
short
of
their
full
compliment,
and
that
includes
paramedics,
firefighters
and
dmts.
The
police
we
learned
during
call
backs
yesterday
were
502
222
positions
short
of
their
liable
full
complement
of
sworn
officers.
They
also,
mr
president,
affirmed
to
us
on
the
record
that
the
only
challenge
standing
in
the
way
of
implementing
at
scale,
proactive
community
policing
in
neighborhoods,
that
is,
bike
patrol
and
beat
officers,
was
manpower.
L
I
apologize
for
not
being
able
to
get
to
you
in
time
to
get
your
real-time
numbers
as
of
this
morning,
but
according
to
the
budget
materials
that
were
submitted
to
us
as
of
november,
the
28th
they
only
had
355
of
their
433
positions
are
filled
for
the
benefit
of
the
viewing
public.
Mr
president,
I
want
people
to
know
what
this
legislation
that
I
profit
this
morning
actually
does.
L
Our
legislative
body,
the
city
council
of
philadelphia,
would
have
to
approve
such
declaration
with
resolution.
These
rehired
retirees
could
be
re-employed
for
up
to
three
years.
They
would
earn
a
paycheck
while
still
also
receiving
their
monthly
pension.
At
the
same
time,
they
would
not
have
to
pay
into
the
pension
fund,
and
this
is
important
to
note,
particularly
for
those
who've
been
advocates
of
retirement
security.
L
They
would
not
earn
additional
service
credit
under
their
pension
plan,
because
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
fiscal
health
of
our
city
and
our
pension
plan
in
particular,
was
shored
up.
The
bill
also
amends
chapter
20-900
of
the
philadelphia
code
entitled
health
and
welfare
benefits
for
pension
employees,
and
it
clarifies
that
any
rehired
retiree
would
have
to
make
contributions
to
the
applicable
health
and
welfare
fund
and
pay
union
dues
during
their
period
of
retiring,
because
we
are
unapologetically
supportive
of
our
unionized
workforce.
Mr
president,
this
bill
would
apply
to
all
retired
employees.
L
L
This
situation,
unfortunately,
has
only
gotten
worse
since
early
2020,
the
past
couple
of
years,
with
the
pandemic,
the
civil
unrest
and
what
some
people
have
called,
and
I
don't
like
the
term
but
the
the
period
of
great
resignation.
We
have
had
a
black
swan
event,
meaning
when
we
have
a
black
swan
event.
It
is
an
unpredictable
event
that
is
beyond
what
is
normally
expected
of
a
situation
and
it
has
potentially
severe
consequences.
L
However,
in
the
face
of
this
challenge,
we
have
an
opportunity
with
this
legislation,
mr
president,
to
come
up
with
a
short-term
solution
to
fill
vacancies
and
deliver
city
services
in
a
more
efficient
and
effective
manner.
Many
city
positions
have
extensive
training
and
onboarding
requirements,
such
as
a
nine
month
long
police
academy
in
the
six
plus
month,
long
training
for
illinois
inspectors.
We
do
not
have
the
luxury
of
time
to
recruit
and
train
all
new
employees
in
order
to
fill
vacancies.

The
officer
property
assessment
announced
a
31
increase
in
residential
property
assessment
citywide,
the
average
assessment
doubled
in
some
neighborhoods
and
the
largest
increases
were
concentrated
in
mostly
poor,
mostly
black
and
brown
neighborhoods.
Even
worse.
These
assessments
are
full
of
errors.
I
Already
we
found
examples
of
identical
homes,
sitting
side
by
side
with
some
assessments
that
are
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
apart.
I
wish
I
could
say
that
I
knew
it
was
coming,
but
I
didn't
members
of
city
council
found
out
at
the
same
time
the
public
did
the
council.
The
consequences
of
these
reassessments
are
predictable
and
devastating
senior
citizens
will
have
to
decide
between
paying
their
property
tax
bills
or
paying
for
prescription
medications.
I
Working
fins
will
have
to
decide
between
paying
their
property
tax
bills
or
paying
for
daycare.
Landlords
will
raise
rents
on
tenants
who
can
barely
make
rent
already
people.
Mostly
black
and
brown
people
will
have
no
choice
but
to
leave
their
homes
and
communities
where
they
have
lived
for
generations,
but
it
doesn't
have
to
be
this
way,
not
if
this
body
acts
boldly
and
decisively,
and
we
will
today,
with
the
support
of
the
super
majority
of
council,
I
am
proud
to
announce
the
save
our
homes
tax
relief
plan.
I
It
will
stop
displacement
by
making
property
taxes
fairer
and
more
transparent.
Moreover,
this
plan
is
revenue
neutral.
It
simply
takes
the
expected
revenue
increase
from
the
latest
property
reassessments
and
gives
the
money
back
to
where
it
belongs,
which
is
to
the
people.
This
plan
has
seven
points.
First,
I
propose
to
double
the
homestead
exclusion.
I
I
Second,
I
propose
to
expand
the
senior
citizens.
Tax
freeze,
eligible,
low-income
singers,
will
be
able
to
freeze
their
assessments
retroactively
at
the
2018
levels.
This
is
a
bill
which
is
also
being
introduced
today.
Third,
I
propose
to
expand
eligibility
for
loop,
which
caps
assessment
for
long-time
homeowners
who
have
seen
certain
spikes
in
their
assessments.
I
I
will
it
will
fix
a
regressive
formula
for
calculating
eligibility,
and
I
will
also
establish
a
second
eligibility
track
for
homeowners,
who
receive
large
increases
that
are
spread
out
over
a
few
years
rather
than
a
single
year.
This
is
also
a
bill
being
introduced
today
I
propose
to
make
fourth,
I
propose
to
mandate
the
hope
that
the
office
of
property
assessment
publish
more
data
and
publish
it
sooner.
There
should
be
no
mysteries
or
surprises
when
it
comes
to
your
property
taxes.
More
transparency
means
more
accountability.
I
Fifth,
I
propose
to
budget
2.5
million
for
outreach,
most
philadelphia.
Homeowners
don't
know
yet
their
property
assessments
have
skyrocketed
and
they
won't
know
from
us,
because
the
delays
of
the
office
of
property
assessment
and
mailing
out
notices
we
need
to
let
people
know
that
their
property
tax
bill
are
going
to
increase.
We
need
to
let
them
know
what
they
can
do
about
it
from
filling
out
assessment,
appeals,
first
levels
of
review
and
other
tax
relief
measures
that
will
help
them
address
their
property
tax
increases.
I
I
propose
a
12
million
dollar
budget
to
focus
on
rental
assistance.
Programs,
as
tax
bills
goes
up,
landforms
will
inevitably
and
ever
believe,
raise
rents
with
us
who
can't
pay
more
will
also
be
displaced
and
the
federal
pandemic
relief
funds
that
pay
for
city
rental
assistance
have
also
ran
out,
as
we
give
relief
to
homeowners
to
prevent
displacement.
It's
only
fair
that
we
take
in
considerations
those
individuals
who
are
also
running,
and
seventh,
I
propose
the
two
million
dollar
budget
to
support
legal
assistance
for
low-income
individuals.
I
I
The
seven
point
plan
goes
into
motion
today
with
the
following
of
these
three
bills.
As
I
previously
mentioned,
I
want
to
personally
thank
all
of
the
bill.

of

used

out

and
an
ordinance
provided
for
the
submission
of
the
qualified
electors
in
the
city
of
philadelphia.
Proposing
an
amendment
to
the
philadelphia
charter
to
establish
city
council
oversight
for
real
property
assessment
increases
and
authorizing
the
appropriate
officers

fix
the

K
K
She
cannot
afford
6.25,
but
in
that
neighborhood
property
assessments
have
gone
up
tremendously
double
and
I
doubt
she
will
find
another
place
for
550,
eventually
we're
trying
to
help
her.
We
were
able
to
help
her
some
degree,
but
it's
not
just
to
property
values
when
people
think
of
home
ownership.
It's
also
the
rentals
where,
in
this
city,
will
you
find
a
a
apartment
studio
for
550
in
neighborhoods,
like
the
ones
where
assessments
are
going
up?
K
K
The
second
bill
is
a
new
bill,
but
it's
a
it's
just
the
fact
that
previously
people
could
get
a
10
discount
if
they
paid
earlier
and
and
that
bill
is
just
reinstituting
that
10
percent
and
finally
the
third
bill.
It
requires
that
the
methodology
and
formula
be
published
publicly,
but
also
to
city
council
and
the
controller
prior
to
opa's
certification
of
the
assessments
they
are
required
by
law.
To
do
that.
They
never
do
it
they've,
never
ever
done
it.
K
They
certify
the
assessments,
they
don't
publish
the
formula,
they
don't
provide
any
meaningful
substantive
data,
and
I
think
it
is
important
that
before
this
process
continues,
they
they
reveal
all
that
information,
so
the
average
homeowner,
the
everyday
person
and
their
elected
officials
can
check
to
make
sure
that
these
are
accurate,
and
I
support
all
the
other
efforts
that
the
my
council
colleagues
are
doing,
and
I
encourage
that
we
as
a
body
do
our
utmost
in
every
way
to
protect
our
residents
and
our
public.
Thank
you
very
much
comes

corridor
for
the
community
to
shop
through
this
program
we're
able
to
employ
six
local
residents
to
help
support
our
local
economy
with
increased
funding,
we
will
be
able
to
do
more
by
increasing
the
hours
and
hiring
more
local
staff
to
work
on
the
corridor.
C
The
current
proposal
on
the
table
to
fund
this
program
is
for
seven
million
dollars.
We
support
the
proposed
a
a
proposed
increase
to
10
million
dollars.
This
expansion
of
the
budget
will
ensure
more
corridors,
can
be
impacted
by
this
powerful
program
by
hiring
more
ambassadors
and
impact
and
its
impact
on
security
and
safety.
C
With
the
increased
funding,
the
contracts
can
be
increased
so
that
more
local
residents,
many
who
do
not
have
college
degrees
and
may
not
have
opportunities
to
be
productive
in
the
workplace
to
have
a
position
with
a
decent
salary
at
the
minimum
15
per
hour.
This
position
gives
them
an
opportunity
to
work
and
support
their
families.
In
addition,
we
would
like
to
support
to
propose
a
four
million
four
million
dollars
to
fund
a
flexible
nimble
property
acquisition.
C
Stabilization
fund
this
program
can
help
cdc's
have
an
opportunity
to
acquire
from
formally
vacant
land
in
the
neighborhood
and
their
commercial
corridors.
They
can
assist
their
neighborhoods
to
meet
the
community
needs.
We
know
that
there
are
many
speculators
and
nuisance
users
that
are
buying
up
vacant
properties.
C
C
C
It
says
an
average
of
629
per
year,
but
in
reality
we
really
need
to
do
the
pennsylvania
max
of
90
000
and
even
with
that,
our
properties
have
been
assessed
in
the
area
where
I
live
so
much
higher
than
when
it
was
bought.
When
my
property
was
bought
in
1977
that
my
taxes
are,
I
get
sticker
shock
every
time.
C
Also,
I'm
asking
that
when
you
assess
my
property,
that
you
assess
it
based
on
the
properties
that
are
equal
to
mine,
I've
had
so
much
building
new
buildings
going
up
that.
I
don't
feel
that
they're
equal
to
mine.
I
can't
afford
to
make
any
any
rehabs
or
improvements
on
my
on
my
home,
because
I
can't
even
afford
to
buy
the
materials
after
paying
all
my
bills.
C
O
Good
morning,
everyone,
I
am
tyrell
brown,
my
pronouns.
Are
he
him?
I
am
a
community
activist
and
organizer
logistics,
convener
for
the
phl
pride
collective
and
one
of
the
lead
coordinators
for
the
phl
pride50
march
and
celebration
on
june
5th,
I'm
here
in
support
of
council
member
gim's
private
pride
to
resolution
in
our
pride
planning
for
out
pride,
our
joy
for
the
50th
anniversary
of
pride.
We
have
found
a
community
found,
love
made
bonds
and
strengthened
old
bonds,
which
in
many
ways
stands
inside
the
legacy
of
what
our
elders
created
50-plus
years
ago.
O
The
time
is
always
now
for
us
to
stand
up
for
justice,
for
liberation
and
for
the
safety
and
security
of
our
cure
classification,
siblings
and
community.
The
time
is
always
now
for
us
to
uplift
the
most
marginalized
into
leadership,
so
that
we
can
be
the
drivers
of
what's
possible
in
our
city
and
nation.
The
time
is
always
now
for
us
to
commit
to
not
simply
reimagining
how
we
celebrate,
but
also
to
commit
to
reimagining
systems
and
institutions.
O
Racism
and
erasure
of
our
experiences
from
queer
people
of
color
persist
to
this
day,
and
the
inclusion
of
these
perspectives
must
be
prioritized
and
centered
in
celebrations
of
lgbtq
plus
pride.
End
quote:
I'm
proud
that
we
are
part
of
this
historic
moment
as
the
collective
that
not
only
stands
as
a
moment
in
lgbtq
plus
history,
but
also
as
a
moment
in
black
history
as
pride
for
the
first
time
in
philadelphia
is
being
organized
by
a
trans,
black
and
brown-led
organization.
O
The
resolution
stands
as
a
moment
in
time
in
that
our
young
ones
can
look
up
and
use
as
inspiration
for
what's
possible
when
we
organize
collectively
hold
each
other
in
love
and
care
and
commit
to
building
institutions
that
ultimately
save
lives,
create
family,
more
love
and
exemplify
the
kind
of
world
that
we
all
deserve
to
live
in.

on
all
the
unclaimed

owed
to
the

G
I
do
not

with

there
will

to
ensure
that
the

ours.
I
want

for

being
introduced
that
the
administration
other
parties
would
work
with
my
office
throughout
the
course
of
this

I
just
wanted
to
put
that
information
on
the
record,
as
one
of
the
unfortunate
things
that
we
have
to
do
is
to
tear

Mr

I
will
know
for

at

It
could
not
come
at
a
worse
time,
but
it
comes
at
times
like
these,
but
on
behalf
of
certainly
myself
and
my
family,
and
I
know
for
each
council
member
here,
I
just
want
to
convey
just
our
sympathies,
which
are
are
just
so
shortcoming
to
those
who
are
are
suffering
and
grieving
at

Thank

thank
you.
Council
president.
I
want
to
take
a
few
minute
minutes
to
thank
my
12
council
colleagues,
who
signed
on
to
a
letter
to
the
executives
of
u.s
bank.
The
letter
formally
requests
that
u.s
bank
pauses
all
share
sales
and
enter
into
negotiations
with
the
city
to
acquire
to
reacquire
hundreds
of
active
community
gardens,
side
yards
and
potential
sites
for
affordable
housing
development
that
are
currently
at
risk

being
sold
off.
P
Like
everyone
who
has
young
children
or
grandchildren
or
who
have
worked
or
volunteer
in
schools,
this
tragedy
hits
very
close
to
home
as
our
country
processes,
both
rage
and
grief.
We
must
recognize
that
unspeakable
acts
of
violence
against
children
are
the
responsibility
of
adults
and
that
you
know,
sick,
violent
adults
who
commit
mass
murders
are
the
result
of
a
failure
of
moral
leadership.
P
What
our
kids
deserve
is
aggressively
punishing
pursuing
gun
laws,
holding
leaders
who
promote
violence
accountable
and
investing
in
mental
health
resources
for
people
of
all
ages
and,
as
we
turn
to
our
own
gun
violence
crisis
here
in
philadelphia,
where
the
lives
of
young
people
are
stolen
on
a
monthly,
sometimes
weekly,
sometime
daily
basis.
I
want
to
invite
the
viewing
public
to
an
event
that
my
office
is
hosting
on
saturday
june.
The
4th
the
event
will
be
calling
that
we're
calling
restore
our
city
we'll
start
at
11
a.m.
P
P
My
hope
is
that
this
event
can
repair
damage
community
relationships
and
bring
resources
to
those
in
need
and
to
empower
all
residents
who
lead
the
charge
for
community
safety,
and
I
want
to
thank
our
event:
partner,
mcgee
rehabilitation
center
and
several
of
my
council
colleagues,
who
are
collaborating
with
me
on
this
event
and
the
grassroot
anti-violence
organizations
who
will
be
supporting
us
next
saturday
for
their
dedication
to
this
issue.
Thank
you
so
much
council
president
and
thank
you
so
much
to
all
my
colleagues.
P
E
This
weekend,
of
course,
is
memorial
day
an
american
holiday,
formerly
known
as
decoration
day
it's
monday
and
honors,
the
men
and
women
who
died
while
serving
in
the
u.s
military
for
our
country,
and
many
of
us
will
be
out,
hopefully
with
families
they
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
all
safe,
and
hopefully
we
can
pray
for
as
little
violence
as
possible.
I
share
my
colleagues
sentiments
on
what
they've
said
earlier.
E
E
E
Ray
many
of
us
have
listened
to
ray
ginger
for
years
and
years,
keeping
us
all
calm,
reporting
the
ups
and
downs
of
our
therapy
sports
teams,
and
today
we
honor
him
as
he
is
wrapping
up
his
hall
of
fame
career
this
sunday
on
wip
94.1.
It's
his
last
time
to
report
to
us
after
53
years
of
reporting
to
all
philadelphians
on
philadelphia
sports.
E
Pretty
amazing
he's
had
an
amazing
career
in
the
world
of
sports
and
journalism,
and
I'm
not
sure
everyone
knows
the
extent
of
his
career
for
those
who
do
not
know
he's
a
local
temple.
Graduate
amazing
he's
also
authored
over
12
books
throughout
his
career
12
books
and
he's
the
recipient
of
dick
mccann
memorial
award
from
the
professional
football
writers
association
he's
actually
in
the
pro
football
hall
of
fame.
For
his
work,
he's
won
the
pennsylvania
sports
writer
of
the
year
award
five
times.
E
It's
an
award
given
out
by
the
national
sportscasters
and
sportswriters
association
and,
lastly,
ray
dinniger
is
the
author
of
the
autobiographical
play
called
tommy
and
me,
and
philippines
have
enjoyed
six
productions
of
this
play
in
the
past.
This
place
is
actually
going
to
appear
in
hershey,
I
read
about
in
august,
and
it's
a
it's
an
autobiography
basically
about
tommy
mcdonald,
a
former
eagles
player
from
the
late
50s
and
60s,
and
its
relationship
with
ray
didinger
ray
met,
tommy
mcdonald,
when
he
was
10
years
old
in
hershey.
E
I
understand
that
was
the
eagles
training
camp
at
that
time
and
the
play
really
talks
about
that
relationship.
It's
pretty
amazing
because
ray
takes
the
mic
this
weekend.
We
want
to
thank
him.
I
want
to
thank
you
ray
from
all
the
sports
fans.
You've
served
in
philadelphia
for
53
years.
You
truly
are
a
sports
icon
and
you
will
be
missed
by
all
of
us
really
appreciate
all
you've
done.
Thank
you,
council
president.
H
H
The
fact
that
the
idea
of
this
nation
was
started
here.
That
was
one
of
the
major
motivations
for
the
new
deal
to
want
to
come
to
philadelphia
in
2020
and
stay
committed
to
doing
that
this
year
and,
as
we
were,
having
this
summit
over
two
days
at
the
comcast
technology
center,
the
issue
of
what
occurred
both
in
buffalo
and
then
also
what
just
happened
in
texas
is
something
that
just
really
pains.
H
If
now
is
not
the
time,
when
is
the
time
the
cars
we
see
in
cities
around
our
nation
and
the
cars
that
we
see
in
these
mass
shootings
are
directly
related
to
the
inaction
of
one
legislative
and
one
one
political
party,
I
mean
it's
clear,
you
cannot
be
for
right
to
life,
but
don't
stop
the
taking
of
life
and
the
fact
that
someone
who
was
18
years
old
in
the
state
of
texas
could
buy
a
gun,
but
then
couldn't
do
so
many
other
things
like
drive
a
car.
Is
this.
H
Is
irrehensable
the
fact
that
we're
doing
this
issue
over
and
over
and
over
again,
when
I
think
about
the
mass
shooting
that
happened
on
december
14th,
which
which
is
my
birthday,
I'm
always
going
to
think
about
the
mass
shootings
that
have
occurred
in
this
country,
and
it's
happened
once
again
in
our
country
and
it's
time
for
us
to
take
the
action
as
elected
officials
in
pennsylvania
in
congress
to
stop
the
carnage
in
our
cities
and
around
our
nation.
Thank
you,
council
president.
A
M
I
thank
you,
council
president,
I'm
going
to
be
very
beef
brief.
First
of
all,
I
share
the
sentiments
of
my
colleagues
as
it
relates
to
the
mass
shootings
across
the
country,
as
well
as
the
gun.
Violence
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
is
heartbreaking,
to
say
the
least,
and
you
know
I'll
leave
it
there.
M
I
also
want
to
thank
the
members
of
the
driving
equality
driving
quality
accountability
team.
We
convened
for
the
first
time
this
past
week
with
the
goal
of
looking
at
and
monitoring
the
legislation,
as
the
data
becomes
readily
available
to
assure
that
we
are
getting
it
right
and
to
assure
that
we
are
moving
in
the
best
interest
of
the
constituents
of
philadelphia.
M
M
We
talked
about
the
gun,
violence
and
crime.
I
always
speak
about
the
hit
and
run
crisis
that
we're
facing
as
well
here
in
the
city
of
philadelphia
and
just
collectively,
brainstorming.
What
are
the
best
next
steps
and
action
items
that
we
can
do
as
a
collective
to
address
these
issues.
So
thank
you,
council
president.
I
appreciate
the
time
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
my
colleagues
as
well
as
other
stakeholders
to
address
these
issues.
I
D
I
Most
of
you
know
my
my
boys,
my
oldest
isaiah
mandela,
johnson,
very,
very
inquisitive,
young
man,
a
very
sensitive
young
man
and
wanted
to
know
if
the
officers
were
hurt.
If
someone
got
hurt-
and
I
would
kind
of-
and
I
and
for
myself
I
was
a
little
dumbfounded,
because
hammond
want
to
explain
that
more
than
16
shots
were
shot
on
the
corner
of
our
block,
with
a
young
lady
being
shot
to
a
seven-year-old.
I
I
They
also
always
have
to
be
a
three-pronged
approach
of
making
sure
we're
keeping
our
young
people
safe,
we're,
keeping
our
singers
safe
and
keeping
our
neighbors
safe,
and
so
I
do
know
for
gun,
violence
and
we're
in
this
week.
Next
week
after
council,
we
will
be
acknowledging
various
groups
who
are
victims
of
who
are
survivors
and
victims
of
gun
violence
who
have
created
their
own
organizations.
I
I
There's
a
lot
of
issues
that
we're
working
on,
but
kids
are
dying
day
in
and
day
out
in
the
streets
of
florida,
but
when
they
hit
home-
and
you
gotta
tell
your
young
son,
that
was
seven
halloween.
He
had
a
conversation,
I
just
told
him
he's
safe
and
because
he
shouldn't
have
to
be
exposed
to
gunshots
in
the
neighborhood
at
the
age
of
seven.
But
that's
the
reality
of
what
we're
dealing
with,
especially
when
you
live
in.
I
No
one
knows
when
we
walk
outside,
I
mean
they
know
us
from
the
work
that
we
do
right,
but
that
don't
stop
somebody
pulling
out
a
gun
and
shooting
at
somebody
else
and
you
or
your
siblings
or
your
children
get
shot
down
just
like
the
average
individual,
and
so
I
just
want
to
show
that
that
that
you
know
unfortunate
experience,
but
but
nevertheless
my
results
stay
strong
to
stay
on
this
issue.
Working
with
my
colleagues.
Thank
you,
council
president.
F
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
also
want
to
add
my
voice
to
the
concerns
the
outrage,
the
frustration
and
the
anger
of
the
inaction
around
this
gun
issue,
and
for
this
reason
I
are
articulated
yesterday
during
our
hearings
with
the
police
commissioner,
and
sent
in
writing
a
request
to
the
managing
director's
office.
F
The
last
three
weeks,
I've
been
feeling
calls
from
friends
groups
from
wisnoming
to
furco
playground
to
juniata
park
to
hunting
park
around
already.
What
are
some
challenges
in
our
parks
and
recreation
centers.
All
of
us
are
advocating
strongly
to
have
historic
number
of
schools
open
with
extracurricular
activities
for
young
people
play
streets
polls
all
the
things
we
want
young
people
and
alternatives
to
keep
young
people
engaged
and
safe
this
summer.
F
The
current
strategy
that
these
places
will
be
protected
by
the
police
department
is
not
a
real
plan
and
it's
not
a
sustainable
plan.
It
assumes
that
already
police,
commissioner,
has
been
very
vocal
in
saying
she
is.
She
is
short
staff,
in
addition
to
the
summer
vacation
requirements
from
the
police
department
that
they
are
going
to
do
the
best
they
can
with
what
they
have.
That's
what
you
continue
to
hear
right
and
we
appreciate
all
that.
Well,
that's
not
good
enough.
F
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
set
up
this
summer
tone
very
early
on
that
parks
are
open
spaces
and
these
schools
are
going
to
be
safe,
and
for
that
reason,
and
using
the
model,
as
as
the
the
police
commissioner
alluded
to
doubt,
the
downtown
detail
special
detail
is
a
compliment
to
additional
security
and
private
security.
That's
been
hired
by
businesses
downtown
that,
along
with
the
police,
detail
right,
has
been
part
of
the
strategy
to
make
people
feel
more
comfortable
about
workers
coming
downtown
and
people
coming
downtown
and
spending
their
money.
F
Let's
hire
security
officers
early
on
in
the
summer,
set
the
tone
support
our
park
rangers
support
our
schools
right
and
create
security
zones
that
for
our
young
people,
so
that
they
can
and
our
families
can
have
a
safe
summer.
But
I
cannot-
and
I
will
not
let
anybody
say
we-
we
didn't
expect
this.
We
know
what's
coming
this
summer,
I
fear,
what's
coming
this
summer
in
neighborhoods,
like
kessington,
I
want
to
be
as
proactive
as
possible.
I
think
we
need
to
just
like
the
private
sector
did
downtown.
F
I
think
we
need
to
say
how
do
we
support
security
early
on
set
a
tone
in
these
places
so
that
our
police
can
continue
to
do
what
they're
doing
through
av?
You
know
through
their
their
their
gvi
and
hotspot
zones,
but
let
us
not
make
the
police
department
responsible
for
something
they
cannot
handle
and
they
cannot
manage
without
some
support
and
telling
us
they're
going
to
do
the
best
they
can
with
what
they
have
should
not
be
acceptable
to
any
of
us.
F
F
So
thank
you
very
much,
council
president,
look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleagues
on
this,
encourage
them
to
talk
to
their
commanding
officers,
encourage
them
to
talk
to
their
neighborhood
parks
and
rec
folks,
I
know
they're
getting
the
same
calls
I
get
right.
There's
somebody
out
there
with
a
you
know
with
with
the
boom
at
11
o'clock
at
night.
F
All
of
those
types
of
things
we
we
need
to
early
on
in
the
summer
set
a
tone
that
these
are
family
spaces
and
that
they
are
still
in
neighborhoods
in
many
places
where
we
have
seniors
and
others
that
you
know
at
a
certain
time.
We
have
to
say
folks,
it's
time
to
go
home
and
tomorrow's
another
day.
Next
weekend
is
another
day
and
then
we
can
move
forward.
So
thank
you
very
much,
council
president.
A
Thank
thank
you
so
much
councilwoman.
I
guess
we're
all
frustrated
about
the
environment
process,
all
the
above,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
got
elected
to
figure
it
out
and
that's
what
we're
going
to
have
to
do.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
people
are
looking
to
us
to
figure
this
out
and
we're
going
to
do
what
we
have
to
do.
You
know
we
just
have
to,
and
it
was
difficult
to
be
the
glass
half
full
kind
of
person
right
about
now,
but
that's
what
we
have
to
be.
A
J
I
wasn't
going
to
say
a
word,
but
I
got
motivated
truly
by
my
colleagues.
I
kid
you
not
all
of
us
were
hitting
a
note,
but
we
were
singing
in
the
same
cars
and
it
reminded
me
on
election
day
I
was
walking
and
one
of
my
constituents
came
up
to
me
and
he
he
grabbed
me,
and
he
says:
what
can
we
do?
What
can
I
do
to
stop
this
violence
and
it
it?
J
It
was
a
very
simple
question
and-
and
it
stunned
me
to
give
a
very
simple
answer:
god
doesn't
let
you
pick
always
your
battlefield,
but
you
can
choose
to
do
battle
where
god
puts
you,
so
what
does
that
mean?
If
you,
a
teacher,
teach
teach
empathy
in
the
class
like
remember,
gilmore
richardson
wants
to
do
it
conflict
resolution.
J
J
J
If
we
do
what
we
are
supposed
to
do
in
the
roles
that
god
gave
us
to
do
battle-
and
I
see
it
more
every
day,
people
make
extreme
differences
that
don't
you
know,
have
big
titles.
Now
I
have
big
titles
but
they're
out
there
teaching
drills
to
kids
that
have
nothing
to
do
that,
keep
them
from
getting
into
trouble.
So
pretty
much.
Let's
stay
in
our
lanes
and,
let's
double
down,
let's
double
down.
If
we
need
to
pass
laws,
let's
pass
better
laws,
we
need
to
pass
a
budget.
