So

the

C
C
You
may
give
them
the
grace
to
make
decisions
that
will
be
beneficial

the
people
of
this
city.
Your
people,
let
your
spirit,
O
Lord,
God,
give
all
who
are
gathered
here.
Wisdom
and
I
should
give
them
wisdom,
O,
Lord
God.
May
you
grant
them
the
grace
to
listen
to
one
another
as
they
listen
to
one
another?
May
they
come
to
know
your
voice

directs
them
and
leads
them
during
this
time?
C
Let
your
Holy
Spirit,
O,
Lord

fill
all
those

with
a
spirit
of
service
that
is
grounded
in
love
and
concern
for
all
in
this
city,
oh
Lord
God.
There
will
be
challenges
ahead.
There
are
challenges,
but
we
know
with
your
help.
Oh
Lord
God
we
can
overcome
and
so
Lord
God.
We
pray
for
all
those
who
are
gathered
here
today.
May
you
give
them
the
gift
of
patience
and
perseverance
as
they
do
their
work?

D
A
A
A
Thank
you.
It
has
been
moved
in
probably
a
second
that
the
legislative

to
the

for
today.
Should

arise
during

today's
Council
session,
all

favor
indicate
by
saying
aye
those
opposed

it,
and
the
motion

and
our
next
sort
of
business
is
communication,
and
the
chair
recognizes
the
clerk
to
read
the
messages
from
the
mayor
or
any
other
Communications
that
he
may
have
in
his
possession.

amending
section,

of

number
180560,
authorizing
the
revision

lines

and
a

The

to

By
extending
the
period
for
compliance
with
the
terms
and
conditions
stated
they're
in.
F
G
You
council
president,
when
I
prepared
to
city
council
I
was
a
Youth
Development
leader
in
the
city
and
I
helped
young
people
go
to
college
for
free
I.
Remember
the
time
during
very
busy
season
of
helping
students
go
to
college
I
was
busy
doing
advising
sessions.
I
was
running,
Saturday
classes,
giving
simulations
to
students
on
what
college
classes
look
like.
I
was
also
visiting
schools
and
so
forth.
I
mean
it
was
a
hectic
season.
I
remember
at
the
time
my
Den
supervisor,
Tatiana
Polacco.
G
The
application
deadline
came
and
at
the
time
we
probably
only
got
about
70
students
to
apply
at
the
meeting
she
met
with
me
after
the
deadline-
and
she
says
Anthony
I
asked
you
to
make
sure
that
every
student
applied
to
this
incredible
study
abroad
program
and
you
didn't
get
it
done
and
I
said
well.
I
said
Tatiana
I
was
running
around
doing
advising
sessions.
I
I
was
helping
students
in
the
in
the
classroom
with
the
college
classes.
I
was
visiting
schools
and
parents
and
doing
all
this
Outreach
and
she
says
I
understand
that.
G
But
if
you
would
have
organized
your
time
and
your
resources
better,
you
could
have
did
all
of
that
and
more.
It
was
that
time
in
my
young
age
that
I
recognized
something
that
even
when
you
work
your
hardest,
there's
still
more
to
be
done,
because
what
she
said
to
me
is
that
those
students
that
I
asked
you
to
apply
for
that
program
did
not
get
that
opportunity
to
apply
this
year
and
they've
never
had
an
opportunity
again
and,
as
a
result
of
you
not
pushing
to
make
sure
all
of
them
apply
so
I.
G
As
a
result
of
that
conversation,
I've
always
been
about
the
fact
that
you
have
24
hours
a
day
and
there's
ways
to
get
things
done,
and
there's
no
need
for
excuses.
I'm
here
today
to
tell
you
that
the
school
district
of
Philadelphia
has
made
a
lot
of
excuses
for
our
children
and
it's
time
for
them
to
be
able
to
walk
and
chew
gum.
G
Yes,
we
are
focusing
on
the
schools
and
the
betterment
of
them,
finding
ways
to
get
assesses
and
rid
them
from
lead
and
so
forth,
but
we
also
have
too
many
Philadelphia
children
who
are
have
hard
time
managing
their
finances.
This
lack
of
economic
education
creates
the
school,
the
poverty
Pipeline
and
every
day,
neighbors
call
my
office
because
they
struggle
able
to
pay
their
bills,
acquire
assets
and
maintain
housing.
Much
of
this
boils
down
not
to
just
jobs,
but
it
boils
down
to
lack
of
financial
literacy
so
which
schools
should
provide
before
students
graduate.
G
Currently,
what
we
have
is
a
system
that
prepares
students
to
do
everything,
but
lead
a
successful
and
productive
life
as
an
adult
and
neglecting
to
teach
students.
Basic
Financial,
medicine
sets
them
up
for
failure.
We
should
expect
better
of
our
schools,
and
it
is
coming
upon
this
legislative
body
to
ensure
every
city
entity,
including
a
school
district,
addresses
the
need
of
every
Philadelphia.
As
such,
it
is
necessary
to
examine
the
extent
to
which
a
school
district
is
address,
addressing
the
lack
of
financial
literacy
and
how
their
efforts
can
improve.
G
I'm
grateful
for
my
colleagues
support
on
this,
including
our
co-sponsors,
councilmember
Driscoll
bass,
squilla
Gautier,
Harry,
Lazada,
Vaughn,
Gilmore,
Richardson,
and
also
our
chairman
Thomas,
who
has
been
a
great
advocate
of
this
I,
hope
to
see
this
issue
addressed
by
the
administration
and
school
district
and
I
just
want
to
say
you
can
walk
and
chew
gum
at
the
same
time,
School
District.
Let's
get
it
all
done
for
our
children,
because
it's
not
another
year
that
they
can
wait
because
that
year,
that
they
wait
again,
another
kid
misses
an
opportunity
for
what
they
deserve.
F
Councilwoman
Gilmore
Richardson
offers
one
bill
and
one
resolution
entitled
an
ordinance
amending
title
16
of
the
Philadelphia
code
and
time
for
public
property
by
adding
a
new
chapter
requiring
the
creation
of
lactation
spaces
for
the
committee.
Any
privileged
resolution
honoring
and
celebrating
the
historic
career
of
Reverend
Louise
Williams
Bishop,
also
known
as
the
queen
of
the
airwaves
on
the
occasion
of
her
retirement.
H
She
is
affectionately
known
as
the
queen
of
the
airwaves
Reverend
Bishop
began
her
career
at
w
h,
a
t,
radio
as
the
youngest
voice
in
radio
and
I
know.
All
the
young
people
may
not
remember
Wht,
but
I
grew
up
on
the
side
of
Wht.
She
later
hosted
the
Louise
Bishop
program
on
wdasam
for
more
than
49
years.
Her
program
was
consistently
ranked
as
one
of
the
highest
rated
programs
at
the
station
and
was
an
institution
in
Philadelphia's
media
Market.
H
Who
else
remembers
her
with
those
morning
prayers
before
we
went
to
school,
Reverend
Bishop
consistently
used
her
platform
to
inform
and
unite
people
around
social
Civic
and
religious
issues.
Her
advocacy
did
not
stop
with
her
groundbreaking
work
in
media
in
1978,
she
was
called
to
the
ministry
and
became
an
ordained
evangelist
by
the
Pennsylvania
Baptist
Association.
H
She
recalls
feeling
God
moving
her
to
devote
her
time
to
minister,
in
addition
to
records
on
her
gospel
program
and
in
1988
she
became
a
triple
threat
after
being
elected
to
serve
in
the
Pennsylvania
House
of
Representatives
and
my
former
legislative
district,
the
192nd
legislative
district,
which
is
now
represented
by
our
Philadelphia
delegation,
chair
representative
Morgan
cephas.

Hello,
council
president
colleagues,
Job
Corps
is
an
essential
program
for
our
youth
who
want
to
pursue
future
careers
in
the
trades.
These
young
people
are
following
the
same,
calling
that
all
of
us
in
this
body
are
following.
After
all,
Student
Government
associations
are
the
Gateway
for
young
people
to
become
our
Future
Leaders.
It
is
an
honor
to
present
this
resolution
and
recognize
Job
Corps
student
government
Association
I
encourage
them
all
to
stand
while
the
while
we
honor
their
public
service
and
wish
them
luck
in
their
future
endeavors.
I
F
J
Thank
you,
council.
President
I
am
proud
to
introduce
a
resolution
recognizing
the
second
week
of
May
as
Children's
Mental
Health
Week
in
Philadelphia
young
people
across
Philadelphia
are
under
siege
from
various
life:
adversities
gun,
violence,
sudden
school
closures,
a
lack
of
safe
Public,
public
places,
housing
and
security.
All
these
injustices
and
more
inflict
trauma
on
our
young
people,
which
in
many
instances
lead
to
mental
illnesses.
J
Nationwide
one
in
six
young
people
have
been
diagnosed
with
a
mental
health
disorder,
and
if
we
look
at
disadvantaged
youth
who
face
racial
discrimination
or
other
adverse
life
experience,
this
number
jumped
significantly.
The
early
identification
and
treatment
of
mental
health
disorders
helps
all
young
people
lead,
successful
and
healthy
lives.
J
So
it
could
not
be
more
important
for
the
future
of
our
city
to
ensure
young
people
know
how
to
handle
mental
health
challenges
and
that
they
receive
the
resources
they
need
to
thrive
to
all
the
young
people
and
families
experiencing
mental
health
challenges
know
that
we
are
here
to
be
a
source
of
strength,
love
and
support.
The
city
of
Philadelphia
offers
a
wide
range
of
resources
for
residents
enduring
mental
health
challenges,
including
the
Department
of
Behavioral,
Health
and
intellectual
disability
services,
the
office
of
Children
and
Families
in
the
Department
of
Human
Services.
J
If
you
or
someone
you
know,
needs
assistance,
I
encourage
you
to
reach
out
to
the
city
or
to
a
health
care
provider.
Philadelphia
is
the
City
of
Brotherly
Love
and
sisterly
affection.
I
encourage
all
of
us
to
live
up
to
this
moniker
by
always
extending
a
hand
to
young
people
and
all
our
neighbors
struggling
with
mental
health
issues.
Thank
you.
So
much
foreign.

I
am
honored
to
introduce
this
resolution
recognizing
Haitian
Heritage
Month
alongside
my
colleague
council
member
Anthony,
Phillips
Haitians,
like
all
immigrants,
make
Philadelphia
stronger
and
better,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
clear
about
the
fact
that
Philadelphia
values
the
contributions
of
immigrants
and
that
we
embrace
them
as
our
neighbors,
because
the
Haitian
Community
is
an
essential
piece
of
our
City's
fabric.
They
are
small
business
owners,
Educators
public
servants,
police
officers,
health
professionals,
artists,
Faith
leaders
and
much
much
more
Haitians,
bring
innovative
ideas
and
New
Perspectives
to
our
businesses.
J
Cultural
organizations
and
classrooms,
their
Heritage
of
sense,
intelligence
and
bold
creativity
is
unmatched
and
an
asset
that
uplifts
the
entire
city
as
a
daughter
of
a
Caribbean
immigrant
I'm,
proud
to
represent
a
robust
immigrant
constituency
that
includes
Haitians
and
Haitian
Americans
and
I
look
forward
to
celebrating
Haitian
Flag
Day
with
many
of
you
next
Thursday.

you
so
much

L
Thank
you,
Mr
President
I'd
like
to
thank
councilman
squilla
and
the
leadership
of
the
Philadelphia
Police
Department.
For
helping
me
draft.
This
legislation
will
enforce
strict
measures
on
nuisance
vehicles,
those
that
amplify
sound
at
a
distance
greater
than
100
feet
from
the
vehicle
under
the
proposed
ordinance
violators
face
a
two
thousand
dollar
penalty
and
risk
forfeiture
of
the
vehicle.
L
The
legislation
aims
to
curb
boom
parties,
which
have
been
happening
for
years.
The
parties
include
large
groups
of
people
who
gather
along
the
Delaware
River
and
blast
music
from
cars
that
are
equipped
with
massive
speakers.
The
vibrations
and
sound
are
loud
enough
to
carry
across
the
water
to
impact

both
sides
of
the
river
residents
along
the
river,
and
indeed
other
areas
of
the
city
have
endured
the
excessive
noise
long
enough.
L
M
N
You
Mr
President
I'm
pleased
to
introduce
a
pair
of
bills
today
because
they're
aimed
at
proactively
providing
Philadelphia
taxpayers
with
clear
information
about
tax
relief
programs,
homeowner
assistance
and
their
rights
to
these
and
similar
programs.
As
you
may
remember,
during
the
most
recent
property
reassessment
period
in
2022,
for
example,
the
valuations
of
many
homeowners,
property,
skyrocketed,
skyrocketed
and
consequently,
their
property
taxes
did
as
well.
In
some
cases,
reassessment
increased
as
much
as
50
or
even
higher.
They
not
only
call
Property
Owners
by
surprise,
but
left
them
feeling
hopeless.
N
Well,
one
of
these
bills
amends
chapter
19-1300
of
the
Philadelphia
real
estate
tax
code,
and
it
will
require
the
city
to
advertise
in
community
papers.
The
availability
of
tax
relief
programs,
residential
foreclosure,
diversion
programs,
housing,
counseling
assistance
and
installment
premium
payment
agreements
to
help
Community
residents
manage
Financial
hardships,
applicable
City
departments
will
be
further
required
to
share
with
taxpayers
how
to
apply
for
payment
arrangements
and
other
programs
and
the
contact
information
for
these
programs.
N
The
other
bill
will
amend
chapter
19-1301
of
the
real
estate
tax
code
and
will
require
the
office
of
property
assessment
and
the
Department
of
Revenue
to
include
tax
relief,
information
in
all
property
assessed
value
and
real
estate
tax
liability
notices
that
they
send
to
taxpayers.
The
information
must
include
how
to
apply
for
a
homestead
exclusion:
deferral,
the
longtime
owner
occupied
exemption
program,
known
as
Loop
and
senior
citizen.
Low-Income
special
tax
provisions,
these
bills,
I'm
introducing,
will
ensure
taxpayers
will
not
be
in
the
dark
about
the
city's
many
resources.
N
There
are
so
many
property
tax
relief
programs
that
can
help
with
reducing
tax
bills
or
assisting
with
payment
options
that
they
might
be
unaware
of.
So
I
urge
my
colleagues
to
join
me
in
assuring
that
Philadelphia
taxpayers
are
informed
about
these
Resources
by
voting.
Yes
on
these
bills,
when
the
time
comes
and
I'm
honored
to
say
that
we
have
significant
support
for
my
colleagues,
including
council
members,
Driscoll
Phillips,
squilla,
O'neal,
Vaughn,
Thomas,
Harrity,
Lazada,
Gilmore,
Richardson
and
Johnson.
Thank
you,
Mr
President
thank.
P
Thank
you
councilor
president
I
just
want
to
commend
my
colleague
for
these
introduction
of
bills.
That
goes
to
the
heart
of
how
we
address
the
issue
of
housing.
Inequality
here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
particularly
around
making
sure
that
people
are
most
vulnerable
of
becoming
homeless.
People
are
most
vulnerable,
who
live
in
gentrified
neighborhoods
have
the
necessary
information,
that's
needed
to
allow
them
to
make
decisions
to
help
them
stay
inside
their
homes.
P
This
is
another
example
of
the
city
council
body,
leading
on
some
of
the
most
critical
issues
that
are
facing
the
most
vulnerable
population
of
individuals.
Here
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
In
the
past,
we
have
done
robocalls
to
our
constituents
around
this
particular
issue.
In
the
past
we
have
done
billboards
to
our
to
our
constituents
around
this
particular
issuance.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
my
colleague
for
saying
you
know
what
let's
submit
from
a
policy
standpoint.
P
This
particular
issue,
as
relates
to
making
sure
that
people
who
are
most
in
need,
particularly
around
the
issue
of
housing,
have
the
necessary
resources
that
they
need
to
stay
inside
their
homes,
and
so
thank
you
very
much
and
I
will
be
definitely
voting
eye
on
all
these
bills
at
the
appropriate
time.
Thank
you,
councilwoman
Cindy.
A
Bass,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilman,
and
not
to
mention
tangle
title
that
puts
people
in
a
position
to
take
advantage
of
these
programs.
I
want
to
thank
the
council
members
for
their
diligent
support
in
making
sure
that
that
money
is
in
place
to
actually
get
that
done.
Thank
you.
Those
two
bills
will
be
referred
to
the
appropriate
committee.
A

you

O
Good
morning
my

is
Rhonda

and
I
am
the
President
of
the
National
Council
of
negro
women,
Incorporated
Philadelphia,
section
Philadelphia
section.
Please
stand
on
behalf
of
ncnw.
We
would
like
to
thank
council
member
Vaughn
and
her
legislative
director
Mr
Dwayne
Terry,
for
their
help
in
commemorating
our
75th
Anniversary.
Since
the
signing
of
our
Charter
in
1948
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
the
National
Council
of
women
has
advocated
for
women
of
African-American
descent,
their
families
and
communities.
O
Our
four
for
the
future
initiative
focus
on
economic
empowerment,
Education,
Health,
Equity
and
social
justice
programs.
Our
national
program,
good
health
wins,
is
a
five-year
collaboration
with
the
CDC
in
response
to
covid-19
and
current
vaccines
to
support
good
health
across
the
United.
States
I
know
that
our
founder
Dr,
Mary,
McLeod
Bethune,
is
smiling
down
on
us
today,
as
we
look
forward
to
continuing
her
Legacy
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
Thank
you
all
for
this
acknowledgment.
S
S
Council
president
Clark,
your
refusal
to
allow
city
council
to
move
forward
with
the
renaming
of
Taney
Street
is
a
blatant
disregard
for
the
voices
of
the
people
you
represent.
The
name.
Taney
Street
is
a
painful
reminder
of
the
legacy
of
Chief
Justice
Roger
B
Taney,
who
authored
the
infamous
Dred
Scott
Decision,
which
declared
that
African
Americans
were
not
citizens
and
had
no
rights.
In
essence,
your
refusal
to
put
our
bill
on
the
council's
agenda
is
in
need
denying
me
an
African-American
and
Philadelphia
and
citizen
my
voice.
S
Despite
the
efforts
of
concerned,
citizens
such
as
myself
after
three
years
of
doing
door-to-door
engagement,
overwhelming
support
of
dozens
of
rcos
and
94
percent
of
North
Taney
Street
residents
surveyed
being
in
favor
and
city
council
has
already
changed
the
name
once
before.
In
1858.,
as
those
men's
were
celebrating
the
infamous
Dred
Scott
decision,
they
chose
to
honor
that
ill
begotten,
Justice
Taney,
you
all
city
council,
have
the
final
and
complete
authority
to
change
the
street
name
again,
you
should
understand
progress
towards
true
equality
is
multifaceted
and
no
action
is
insignificant,
even
changing
a
street
name.
S
It
says
Dr
King
said
in
Injustice
anywhere
is
Injustice
everywhere.
As
a
city,
we
have
a
responsibility
to
promote
inclusivity,
equality
and
justice
for
all
of
our
citizens.
Renaming
Taney
Street
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
It
sends
a
clear
message
that
we
as
a
city,
are
committed
to
addressing
the
wrongs
of
the
past
and
working
towards
a
more
Equitable
future
as
city
council
and
council
president.
S
You
are
our
representatives,
and
we
stand
here
today
having
missed
work
left
children
in
inconvenienced
every
supporter
here
to
implore
you
to
do
your
job,
to
represent
our
interests
and
our
intents
and
to
allow
the
Democratic
process
to
proceed
with
a
vote
to
rename
Taney
Street.
By
doing
so,
you
will
demonstrate
our
commitment
to
the
values
of
Justice
equality
and
progress
that
the
city
should
embody,
so
we
are
here
to
ask
who
do
you
want
to
stand
with?
Thank
you.
Thank.
T
Morning,
I'm
Lynn
Landis,
founder
of
wildfoodies.org
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
resolution,
210-913
authorizing
city
council,
to
retain
legal
counsel
to
file
a
lawsuit
to
require
the
administration
to
enforce
the
healthy
outdoor
public
spaces
act
whose
aim
is
to
end
the
use
of
toxic
pesticides
in
our
parks
and
on
public
grounds.
It
is
not
enough
for
city
council
to
pass
laws;
they
must
also
ensure
that
its
laws
are
being
enforced.
It's
been
three
years
since
the
Act
was
passed
and
the
mayor
still
has
not
enforced
it.
What
is
city
council
waiting
for?
T
You
are
essentially
violating
your
own
oath
of
office
by
letting
the
mayor
behave
like
a
dictator,
and
this
is
not
an
isolated
occurrence.
Two
nights
ago,
many
of
you
were
on
stage
at
the
public
Hearing
in
Kensington,
listening
to
the
horrific
stories
of
children
and
adults
trying
to
survive
the
living
hell
of
lawlessness
that
has
enveloped
their
neighborhood.
Why
is
this
happening?
We
have
state
and
local
laws
on
the
books
that
will
put
a
stop
to
it,
but
too
often
those
laws
are
not
enforced,
particularly
not
in
that
neighborhood.
That
is
itself
illegal.
T
Kensington
Kensington
residents
do
not
need
a
clean
needle
program
or
safe
injection
sites
that
serve
only
to
enable
addiction
and
illegal
activity.
What
they
need
is
for
city
council
to
sue
the
administration
and
the
district
attorney
for
failure
to
enforce
the
law.
In
fact,
there
is
a
prominent
attorney
in
Philadelphia
George
picketto
Who,
many
of
whom
you
know
who
has
offered
to
do
just
that.
T
Do
you
know
how
the
Delaware,
River
and
Schuylkill
Rivers
were
cleaned
up
over
four
decades
ago,
an
older
gentleman
named
Raymond
Prophet,
who
lived
in
Levittown,
Bucks,
County,
successfully
sued
federal
state
and
local
governments
to
for
failure
to
enforce
the
Clean
Water
Act,
and
that
set
a
legal
precedent
for
the
nation's
waterways.
The
lesson
is
this:
city
council
must
promptly
take
the
administration
to
court
whenever
it
fails
to
enforce
the
law.
Otherwise
we
don't
have
a
democracy.
We
have
addicted
dictatorship.
Thank
you.
U
Good
morning
cancel
cancel
president
council
members
and
everyone.
My
name

Rob

Cooper
we're
from
Philadelphia
Job
Corps

Association
we're
all
grateful
to
attend.
Today
council's
meeting,
we
would
like
to
thank
councilman,
Jim
Harrity
and
all
members
who
supported
this
resolution,
our
program
in
casino
to
do
so
so
that
my

and
I
can
find
high
quality
training
and
work
in

and
support
for
ourselves
and
future

Thank
you.
Thank.
V
Morning,
my
name
is
Linda
Katz
and
I'm
here
to
speak
about
the
number
230372.
It's
a
great,
it's
a
great
thing
when
a
City
like
Philadelphia
takes
time
to
honor
someone
like
Nehemiah
Davis,
but
it's
not
such
a
great
thing
when
we
honor
somebody
like
judge
Supreme,
Court,
Judge,
Taney
I
just
want
to
mention
that
if
Richmond
Virginia
could
remove
the
statue
of
Robert
E
Lee,
how
could
Philadelphia
not
remove
the
name
of
Judge
Taney
from
from
our
map?
A
M
My
name
is
Abe
Levy
and
I'm
here
to
speak
on
a
related
matter
on
the
renaming
of
the
Caney
Street.
I
cannot
understand
how
every
council,
member
here
can
go
to
sleep
tonight,
not
ashamed
and
disgraced
that
there
is
a
street
in
this
great
city
of
Philadelphia.
That
is
named
for
the
Supreme
Court
Justice,
who
coordinated
a
ruling
that
slavery
is
legal.
M
W
Morning,
my
name
is
Kayla
J,
West
and
I
am
standing
in
agreement
of
the
resolution
for
Reverend
Louise
Williams
Bishop
for
over
60
years,
Reverend
Louise
has
blessed
the
Airways
of
Philadelphia
and
our
tri-state
area.
Now,
at
almost
90
years,
young
she
has
decided
to
relax
and
spend
more
time
with
her
family.
W
Reverend
Louise
is
a
trailblazer
who
has
opened
the
Doors
for
Women
in
Ministry
women
in
government
and,
of
course,
women
in
media
I
stand
here
today,
honored
to
not
only
have
worked
with
her
in
this
leg
of
her
life,
but
honored
to
continue
her
Legacy
as
I.
Take
over
her
tremendous
radio
show
gospel
times
on
wurd
I
am
in
agreement
with
this
resolution
to
honor
the
one.
The
only
Reverend
Louise
Williams
Bishop
for
her
outstanding
impact
on
Philadelphia.
A
X
Speaking
on
an
ordinance
amending
Title
18
of
the
Philadelphia
code,
entitled
Commerce
by
adding
a
new
chapter
entitled
Workforce
Development
activity
and
Reporting
council
president
with
all
due
respect,
what
exactly
is
this?
You
are
on
your
way
out,
and
this
ordinance
seems
to
be
something
that
is
just
something
to
something
that
just
sounds
good.
X
But
what
exactly
is
this
works
for
Workforce
Development
activity
and
reporting
to
promote
Workforce
Development
activity
and
to
require
the
Department
of
Commerce
to
report?
The
council
to
council
contains
aggregate
information
regarding
employment
rates
and
training
opportunities
and
to
report
on
assessments
of
the
economic
impact
of
the
city's
Workforce
Development.
X
They
are
hurting
from
the
lack
of
work
and
support
once
the
Department
of
Commerce
reports
this
info.
What's
next,
are
there
enough
wealth,
Gap,
decreasing
work
in
the
city?
We
need
Economic,
Development
and
reparations
in
this
city.
I
have
mentioned
many
times
in
this
chamber
that
there
is
a
need
to
decrease
the
economic
wealth
Gap
in
regards
to
afro-americans.
X
So,
with
this
in
mind,
I
want
to
remind
everyone,
who's
listening
that
election
day
is
May
the
16th
and
that
the
people
have
the
power
to
change
the
obvious
lack
of
leadership
on
this
issue
of
decreasing
poverty
in
this
city
again,
my
name
is
obona
Higgins
and
we
got
to
change
what's
happening
in
this
body.
Thanks.
G
Y
And
good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Yolanda
Taylor,
the
black
family
Advocate
against
DHS.
Today
I
will
be
opposing
bail,
21.0913
introduced
by
Council
bass
at
Estates
resolution
authorizing
city
council,
to
retain
legal
counsel,
to
file
a
lawsuit,
to
require
the
administration
to
implement
and
enforce
Bill
200425,
although
I
am
not
opposed
to
bill
200425,
which
is
the
healthy
outdoor
space
to
eliminate
pesticides.
I
am
opposing
city
council.
Y
Retaining
legal
counsel,
I
feel
that
power
corrupts
and
absolute
power
corrupts
absolutely
I
feel
that
I'm
going
to
use
a
couple
of
catchphrases
that
were
used
by
you
guys
earlier
Philadelphia
is
known
as
the
City
of
Brotherly
Love
and
sisterly
faction.
Unfortunately,
when
I
look
around
the
city,
we
no
longer
carry
that
okay.
This
city
is
also
known
as
Phil
Philadelphia,
so
I
in
my
good
Consciousness.
If
we
can't
clean
up
our
streets,
why
should
you
guys
be
able
to
have
the
power
to
obtain
counsel
for
pesticides?
There's
a
process?
Y
The
city
has
to
be
clean
before
we
do
that,
as
well
as
I
feel
that
at
this
given
time,
city
council,
if
you
didn't-
want
to
have
Council
and
I'm
going
to
use
the
catchphrase
that
Mr
Drexel
use
quality
of
life
issues,
I
feel
that
it
is
frivolous
issues
that
you
guys
want
to
do
renaming
streets
and
so
forth.
City
council
is
supposed
to
represent
the
body
and
the
voice
of
the
city.
I,
don't
feel
that
you
guys
do,
or
we
would
not
be
here
asking
you
to
not
something.
Y
Excuse
me
something
as
simple
as
the
street
name
I.
What
I
personally
would
like
to
see
is
city
council
address
issues
like
DHS,
for
example,
I
am
holding
an
investigation
paper
in
my
hands,
I've
always
heard
DHS,
kidnap,
kids,
that's
a
real
thing:
okay
and
unfortunately
no
one's
listening.
You
got
parents
going
in
the
street
doing
drugs,
for
example,
I'm
going
to
just
do
this.
Y
This
is
a
call
that
a
child
was
taking
and
I
got
the
copy
from
the
state,
and
it
clearly
says
that
this
referral
was
this.
Referral
was
conferenced
in
in
DHS.
This
case
is
screened
down
and
will
not
be
accepted
for
investigation.
Therefore,
it
shouldn't
have
been
investigated.
Child
should
have
remain
in
the
home.
They
came
and
took
the
child
out
the
house
anyway.
The
parent
yelled
screamed
no
one's
listening,
so
that's
the
things
that
I
I
would
love
to
see.
Y
You
guys
obtain
legal
counsel
for
it
to
help
the
people
fight,
offer
important
issues
of
quality
of
life
such
as
our
children
that
being
lost
to
these
streets
also
for
everyone.
What
I
would
also
like
to
see,
as
you
were
saying
about
kids
I,
would
love
to
have
a
Vigilant
on
May
15th,
I
love
Park
on
6
30.
for
everybody
that
has
lost
a
child
either
to
DHS
or
the
street
violence,
because
that
is
the
day
before
the
preliminary.

It
is

honor

We
speak
about
today,
I'm
honored,
to
recognize
the
Allied
health
professionals
during
National
Hospital
week,
May
7th
through
the
13th
that
started
as
a
day
as
a
day
of
recognition
in
1921
and
turned
into
a
week
in
1953..
These
are
the
men
and
women
who
treat
critical
patients
under
extreme
circumstances,
but
are
not
always
recognized.
Thank
you
to
them
to
all
of
them
to
all
of
our
Allied
Health
Professionals
for
your
service
and
our
communities
and
for
keeping
us
safe
and
healthy.
Z
This
week,
our
Public
Safety
Committee
held
a
Committee
hearing
in
Conroe
Elementary
School
in
the
Kensington
Community.
We
heard
about
everyday
life
from
community
members,
community-based
organizations
and
principals,
but
most
important,
but
the
most
important
testimony
came
from
our
young
students.
Yes,
young
children,
who
every
day
witnessed
through
the
lens
of
their
eyes
the
crisis
that
plagues
their
Community
every
day,
how
they're
impacted
by
it
all
our
children
are
struggling
through
this
Health
crisis
and
yes,
they're
resilient,
but
they
should
not
be.
Z
They
should
not
be
going
through
and
witnessing
what
this
crisis
is
is
causing
them
every
day.
This
should
not
be
just
another
day
in
the
neighborhood,
they
are
afraid
they
are
sad
and
they're
tired.
They
deserve
better.
They
deserve
to
be
able
to
play
in
green
and
safe
spaces
during
the
cold
pandemic.
Z
Every
single
Department
in
this
city
got
in
gear
and
did
what
they
needed
to
do
to
protect
residents
from
that
Health
crisis,
and
although
sometimes
we
miss
the
mark,
as
we
went
through
the
process,
we
adjusted
and
kept
pushing
to
ensure
that
every
Philadelphia
was
safe
covet
proved
that
we
as
a
city
are
Faith.
When
we
are
faced
with
a
Health
crisis,
we
can
come
together
and
we
can
find
resources
we
can
protect
and
we
can
protect
communities.
The
Kensington
the
Kensington
Community
has
been
begging
for
help
for
many
years.
Z
Z
Yes,
it
may
be
difficult,
but
it
is
extremely
necessary
and
it
is
our
responsibility
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
in
the
Kensington
Community
I'd
like
to
thank
chairman
Jones
and
every
single
Committee
Member
who
attended
the
the
Committee
hearing
in
the
Kensington
community,
so
here
directly
from
that
Community,
how
impacted
they
are
and
what
they
experience
every
day.
We
have
to
do
something
we
have
to
change
what
we
are
doing.
Z
H
Thank
you
for
your
work
and
for
your
advocacy
and
lastly,
council
president,
since
2020
we've
been
visiting
churches
and
religious
institutions
across
the
city,
every
single
Sunday
and
bringing
needed
City
resources
to
our
residents
and
I
wanted
to
recognize
one
of
our
partners
in
that
effort
who
has
joined
us
every
single
Sunday
since
2020,
and
just
helping
us
get
as
much
information
out
as
possible.
She
was
with
the
revenue
department
and
is
now
transferring
over
to
the
Philadelphia
water
department.
H
E
Thank
you.
Mr
President,
as
we
all
know,
in
Philadelphia,
over
20
percent
of
population
is
food
insecure
in
some
neighborhoods
numbers
even
higher.
With
that
in
mind,
last
week
we
helped
launch
Philadelphia's
GrubHub
servicing
the
city
program
at
the
key
school
and
South
Fork
School
in
my
district,
with
the
help
of
GrubHub
CMAC
Los
Gallos
and
the
People's
Kitchen
were
able
to
give
out
close
to
300
meals
to
Children
and
Families
from
those
two
schools.
E
Grubhub
servicing
the
city
program
was
created
to
address
food
and
security
issues
as
well
as
support
local
independent
restaurants,
launched
in
New
York
in
July
of
22.
This
initiative
has
now
served
more
than
twenty
thousand
meals
to
food
and
secured
families
in
New
York.
It's
my
hope
that
we'll
exceed
that
number
as
we
partner
and
grow
in
Philadelphia
grandpa,
will
be
partnering
with
council
members
purchasing
up
the
500
hot
pre-packaged,
culturally
appropriate
meals
directly
for
restaurants
and
and
hosting
on-site
meal
distributions
events
at
howling,
Authority
senior,
centers
veterans
organizations
and
other
community-based
organizations.
E
I
look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleagues
here
in
Council
in
the
coming
months
to
help
bring
the
program
to
their
council
districts
and
to
Council
in
the
city
as
a
whole.
I
want
to
thank
GrubHub
team
of
of
Josh
Boston
Brett
Swanson,
as
well
as
Andrew,
zielinski
and
Aaron
platform,
the
associate
Chico
Associates
for
helping
bring
us
to
Philadelphia
and
allow
me
to
kick
off
the
program
and
help
those
in
need
most.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
I
I
just
wanted
to
say,
really
quickly,
happy
Mother's
Day
to
all
the
mothers
this
this
coming,
Sunday
I'm
without
my
mother,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
wonderful
mothers
that
are
here
today,
including
councilwoman
Vaughan,
the
councilman
Lazada,
and
also
councilwoman
Cindy
bass
and
Gilmer
Richardson
and
God
the
year
and
Kendra
Brooks,
so
I
just
want
to
say
Happy
Mother's
Day
to
everyone.
A
mother
is
a
precious
thing.
G
My
mom
is
not
here
with
me
and
I
still
think
about
her
every
day
and
I
wish.
There
was
ways
that
she
could
see
that
the
fruit
of
her
labor
is
still
going
on
and
I
hope
I'm
making
her
proud.
But
you
know
there's
also
members.
Even
this
week
are
going
through
some
things
so
I'm.
Just
wishing
that
everyone
has
a
wonderful
Mother's
day,
God
bless.
D
Member
squilla
member
Harrity
member
Vaughn
member
Driscoll
for
coming
out
to
Kensington
one
of
the
things
that
you've
always
proposed
is
that
we
can't
be
afraid
of
the
people
that
we
have
to
go
to
the
people.
They
are
our
employers,
and
in
that
tradition
my
colleagues
went
out
and
we
heard-
and
we
listened,
it
was
a
listening
section.
But
if
you
have
a
heart,
your
heart
was
broken
and
remember.
Phillips
always
says
from
that
African
proverb:
how
are
the
children
remember
that?
D
D
Who
Cartier
you
know
this
is
not
today,
everybody's
forgetting
you,
she
was
there.
I'll
put
it
on
the
record.
She
was
there,
but
as
we
we
decide
on
the
100th
mayor
on
Tuesday,
please
come
out
and
vote
whoever
you
vote,
for.
We
will
hold
them
accountable
for
Kensington
you're
not
going
to
get
to
Kick
the
Can
down
the
road
we
will
have.
You
address
the
Marshall
Plan
that
is
needed
to
make
Kensington
right,
because
if
Kensington
is
not
safe,
no
neighborhood
in
Philadelphia
is
safe.
D
D
He
had
shot
and
killed.
Somebody
on
the
grounds
of
the
prison
that
was
getting
out.
He
pulled
up
in
allegedly
shot
him
dead,
so
that
kind
of
twice
this
individual
said:
I,
don't
care
about
the
prisons?
I,
don't
care
about
the
system,
I'm
a
bandit
and
I'm
I'm
going
to
do
what
I
want
to
do
and
then
escaped
proving
that
you
know
you
know
he
he
felt
he
was
bigger
than
the
law.
So
we
have
to
fix
this
and
we
will
fix
this
and
I
look
forward
to
the
discovery.
D
D
J
It
says
to
council
member
Thomas
who
lost
his
mom
a
few
days
ago.
I
think
that's
one
of
the
most
devastating
things
that
can
happen
to
to
a
person,
and
you
know
especially
leading
up
to
Mother's
Day,
so
just
wanted
to
send
him
our
love
and
just
let
him
know
that
we
are
thinking
about
him
and
his
family
in
this
hard
time.
J
I
also
wanted
to
thank
council
member
Vaughn
for
the
really
important
resolution
on
what's
going
on
in
the
prisons.
I
will
say
that
you
know,
as
a
member
of
the
Public
Safety
Committee
we've
had
meetings
on
meetings
on
meetings
on
meetings
with
the
leadership
at
the
prisons
and
with
the
administration
to
talk
about
the
crisis.
The
crisis
that's
been
playing
out
in
the
prisons
for
over
the
entire
pandemic
and
it
feels
like
you
don't
get
anywhere.
J
It
feels
like
just
sort
of
defensiveness
and
the
lack
of
a
real
plan,
and
so
I
hope
you
know
and
I'm
willing
to
be
a
part
of
the
team
that
allows
us
to
come
into
this
hearing
in
a
different
way
and
hopefully
to
get
more
answers
and
to
get
to
resolution.
But
this
is
something
that
Council
has
pushed
on.
I
would
say
you
know
for
the
entire
pandemic
and
I
hope
we
can
get
it
to
a
different
place
through
this
hearing,
but
I
do
think
it's
a
very
important
discussion
to
have.
I
A
cancer
president
College,
you
know
I'm
so
glad
that
councilman
Jones
chaired
the
meeting
the
other
day.
The
public
safety
meeting
and
ketsy
Lazada
I
commend
you
for
taking
the
initiative
to
actually
bring
the
kids
in
because
it
just
proved
what
I've
been
telling
everybody
all
along.
Is
that
the
kids
in
my
neighborhood
are
good
kids
they're,
not
asking
for
anything
extra.
I
I
They
push
through
streets
that
are
littered
with
trash
and
dirt
and
needles
and
walk
past
people
doing
things
that
just
are
not
right
in
public
and
I'm.
Just
so
happy
that,
for
once,
everybody
got
to
see
what
I
see
on
a
daily
basis.
When
I
talk
to
the
kids
in
my
neighborhood
that
all
they're
asking
for
is
a
chance
to
be
a
kid,
and
you
know
I
believe
it's
our
job
to
allow
that
and
to
give
that
to
them.
