Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 time, the Chair recognizes Councilman Jones, who will present a resolution recognizing what I call is my hero as it relates to knowledge of sports, Ray Didinger. Would Mr. Didinger and those accompanying him please join the Councilman at the podium. (Councilmembers and guests approached podium.)
And joining Councilman Jones, we have Councilman Greenlee, Councilman Green, Councilman Johnson, Councilwoman Reynolds Brown, and Councilman Taubenberger and Councilwoman Parker.
Although we have certain presenters, could I ask all members of Council to join us up here even if you do not have a written part at this point, but come on up anyway, because we don't know the next time we may be on the precipice of winning the Super Bowl. So I want us to memorialize this with all members. Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 (Applause.)
Come on up. So come on up, and I thank my colleagues for joining me. So there are many things that qualify you as a Philadelphian. There's cheese steaks, there's water ice, there's soft pretzels, there's playing in the fire plugs during the summer, Piccadilly, but there's also Ray Didinger. And not to be confused with Big Ray, who is his grandfather, or Little Ray, his father, who was bigger than the grandfather, or Young Ray, who he was called growing up in a bar in Southwest Philadelphia, but we're talking about Ray, the Philadelphian, who has bled with us in our wins, cried with us in our losses, but managed never, ever, ever to lie to us about the level of proficiency of our sports teams. So, therefore, it is truly an honor to recognize a Philadelphian today. He is an author. He's a sportsman. He Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 never lies. He doesn't lie. He won't tell you everything he may know about the running back situation or the cornerbacks, but he will never lie and, therefore, it brings us comfort. It brings us encouragement when we are about to win. It brings us comfort if we ever lose, and he is a consistent sports voice and Philadelphian. So, therefore, we are here to honor Ray Didinger for his -- recognizing and honoring Ray Didinger for being inducted into the Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame. (Applause.)
Whereas, Ray Didinger, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, is a prominent sportswriter and commentator, and a resident of the East Falls Neighborhood of Philadelphia. Yeah, the Fourth Councilmanic District. Yes, that's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stated Meeting January 25, 2018
And whereas, Didinger is a 1968 graduate of Temple University and a member of the Temple University School of Communications Hall of Fame. He wrote for the Philadelphia Bulletin and the Daily News for more than 30 years;
Whereas, Ray Didinger was named "Pennsylvania Sportswriter of the Year" five times by the National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association. In 1995, he won the Dick McCann Award for his long and distinguished career of pro-football and his name was added to the Writers Honor Roll in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Ray Didinger's work also earned him six Emmy Awards as a producer and writer with NFL Films; and
Whereas, Didinger is the author of 11 books, including three best-sellers: The New Eagles Encyclopedia, One Last Read and The Ultimate Book of Sports Movies. In Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 2016, Didinger wrote his first play: Tommy and Me. The play was performed locally by Theatre Exile; and
Whereas, Didinger is the first print journalist inducted into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame. He is a host on 94WIP All Sports Radio in Philadelphia and he is a football analyst on NBC Sports Philadelphia Eagles Pre-Game Live and Post-Game Live Shows; and
Whereas, in 2017, Ray Didinger's famed career was further memorialized when he was inducted into the Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame -- and that was reported on by WIP, Angelo Cataldi this morning -and now, therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Council of the City of Philadelphia, that it hereby recognizes and honors Ray Didinger for being inducted into the Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame. Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 resolved, that an engrossed copy of this resolution be presented to Ray Didinger as evidence of the sincere appreciation and admiration of this legislative body. Congratulations. (Applause.)
And the Chair recognizes Mr. Didinger for remarks. (Applause.) (Councilman Jones and Councilman Johnson put on "underdog" masks.
You know, that's a good look for you. Councilman Jones, I like that. Well, I think this kind of tells the story of what this season has been about and what yet remains to be done. I think you're going to see quite a few of these in Minneapolis in two weeks. I've worked in the media for Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 century, and over the years, many of my colleagues have said, Wouldn't you rather be in news? I mean, all you do is just cover games, as if somehow that's not meaningful or important. Well, after seeing what we saw Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field and later in the streets of our fair city, I defy you to say what we're witnessing with the Eagles is just a game. Clearly, it's much more than that. If all you see are numbers on a scoreboard, then you're missing the point and what is the true essence and beauty of sports; that is, its ability to lift us up and bring us together. In a world where so many things divide us, where we are disconnected physically and emotionally, there's something magical in seeing thousands of Eagles fans, young and old, rich and poor, black and white, all with their faces painted green, standing arm in arm and singing Fly, Eagles Fly. Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 loved about sports is the teamwork, and when that teamwork extends to an entire city or an entire region, as we're seeing now, it's a wondrous thing that allows us all to stand a little taller and closer together. The Irish philosopher, Francis Hutcheson, once said, That action is best, which procures the greatest happiness for the greatest numbers. He said that centuries ago, but he might have said it Sunday night hanging from the top of a traffic light right out there on Broad Street. I was still new to the newspaper business in 1974 when as a reporter for the Philadelphia Bulletin I covered the Flyers' first Stanley Cup parade. I rode in the parade sitting next to Joe Watson, Sr., the father of Joe and Jimmy Watson. He was a butcher from Smithers, British Columbia, population 300, and he came to Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 sons win the Stanley Cup. As he rode through the streets gazing out at two million cheering fans, he said, I didn't know there were this many people in the world. I'll always remember that moment, that emotion that made a humble butcher from British Columbia and the people of Philadelphia feel as one. To me, that's meaningful. To me, that is important, and that's why after all these years I still love my job covering games. I want to thank you, Councilman Jones, for this wonderful honor. To stand here in this historic Chamber and accept this proclamation is something very special indeed. Thank you all very much, and I hope to see you back here in two weeks for a Super Bowl parade.
So for all true Eagles fans, we've purchased the new Eagles Encyclopedia so you can know half as much as Ray Didinger knows. Mr. President.
Councilman Jones, did you get one for our good friend in the media with the Dallas Cowboy hat on? I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself. Thank you so much. Go Eagles. At this time, the Chair recognizes Councilman Green, who will present a resolution recognizing the Philadelphia Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. Would Daryl Stephens and those accompanying him please join the Councilman at the podium. Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 (Councilmembers and guests approached podium.)
On January 5th, 1911, ten astute young men on the campus of Indiana University founded an institution unparalleled in the history of collegiate life. I know my colleagues to my left will understand what I'm talking about. Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity was based on achievement in every field of human endeavor, as you listen to our opening sermon in front of Reverend Dr. Steven Avinger, a member of this august body, Reverend Dr. Leon Sullivan, in the political realm former Mayors Wilson Goode, John Street, State Representative Stephen Kinsey, State Senator Sharif Street, and a former member of this body, Councilman George Burrell, all members of Kappa Alpha Psi, Incorporated, as well as the men behind me who are about achievement in every field of human endeavor and also someone Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 mentor, my father, Walter Green. So it brings me great pleasure to present this resolution this morning, and there's a close connection between the City of Philadelphia and Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated. The Philadelphia Alumni Chapter was founded here May 25th, 1922 by one of our founders, John Milton Lee. And if you look up Broad Street, you will see our international headquarters, and we'll be coming back to you with our conclave in 2019. So it's with great pride to present this resolution recognizing the Philadelphia Alumni Chapter on the occasion of the 107th Annual Founders' Day of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated.
Whereas, on January the 5th, 1911, on the campus of Indiana University at Bloomington, Indiana, Elder Watson Diggs, John Milton Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 Lee, Byron K. Armstrong, Guy Levis Grant, Ezra D. Alexander, Henry T. Asher, Marcus P. Blakemore, Paul W. Caine, Edward G. Irvin, and George W. Edmonds founded Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated; and Whereas, through their vision, these ten astute men founded a college fraternity now comprised of functioning Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters on campuses and in cities throughout this nation and the world and through that seed, a fraternal tree was grown whose fruit of membership is available to, and now enjoyed by, over 150,000 college men, regardless of race, religion, or national origin; and
Whereas, from its origin through today, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity is a unique organization in that its members share a common purpose of achievement in every field of human endeavor and this unified purpose is exemplified every day by its Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 Congress, city halls, courtrooms, boardrooms, newsrooms, classrooms, concert halls, film and recording studios, physicians' offices, athletic fields, fields of combat, pulpits, et cetera and more; Whereas, in addition to the achievement of its members, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity is dedicated to training for both leadership through its various programs, including the A-Man Initiative, Achievement Academy, Guide Right, Kappa Kamp, and Kappa League has mentored hundreds of young men into the past, current, and future leaders of our country; and
Whereas, members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity have a long commitment to serving the common person and, through this commitment, have provided substantial support to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, United Negro College Fund, Habitat for Humanity, and several other Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 service initiatives around the world; and Whereas, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity and the City of Philadelphia share a special bond in that the Fraternity's international headquarters is located in Philadelphia and, historically, the Greater Philadelphia Region has been home to hundreds of members in both the Undergraduate and Alumni Chapters; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Council of the City of Philadelphia, that we hereby recognize the Philadelphia Alumni Chapter on the occasion of its 107th Annual Founders' Day of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated. Further resolved, that an engrossed copy of this resolution be presented to Daryl Stephens, Polemarch of the Philadelphia Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated, as evidence of the sincere admiration and respect of this legislative body. Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 (Applause.)
And the Chair recognizes Mr. Stephens for remarks.
To Council President Darrell Clarke and the members of City Council, thank you for your acknowledgment of the Philadelphia Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated, with this resolution. Since 1911, members of Kappa Alpha Psi have achieved in every field of human endeavor. While our motto is achievement, we realize how important it is that Kappas help others achieve as well. For example, the Philadelphia Alumni Chapter Achievement Academy mentors over 75 young men from middle to high school every year in Germantown at our Achievement Center as part of our national Guide Right Initiative. Members of the Philadelphia Alumni Chapter have a long legacy of indelible achievement. Members include Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 American Mayors of the City of Philadelphia in Brother Dr. Reverend W. Wilson Goode and Brother John Street, Esquire. In addition, we can point to the accomplishments of the late Brother Dr. Reverend Leon Sullivan, founder of OIC and the author of the Sullivan Principles aimed at ending apartheid in South Africa. We serve at the legislative level in City Hall currently with Brother Councilman Derek Green and in the past with the late Brother Cecil B. Moore, in Harrisburg with Brother State Senator Brother Sharif Street, Esquire, and State Representative Brother Stephen Kinsey. In July of 2019, Kappa Alpha Psi will hold our national conclave here in the City of Brotherly Love. We expect that our members and their families will pump millions of dollars into the local economy. We anticipate that Kappas will paint the town in crimson and cream. Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 Philadelphia. God bless Kappa Alpha Psi. Go Eagles. (Applause.)
And Council will be at ease. (Council at ease.)

If you can just stand up. (Applause.)

An ordinance authorizing transfers in appropriations for Fiscal Year 2018 from the Grants Revenue Fund, the Director of Finance Provision for Other Grants to the General Fund, the Managing Director.
Thank you, Council President. Council President, as a longtime advocate of gun violence prevention, I have a lot of good days, but also I have a lot of bad days. I have lost count of the number of funerals that I have attended for constituents who have lost their lives far too soon to senseless gun violence. When I visit schools in my Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 district, which should be a joyful part of my schedule as an elected official, I ask a classroom full of children to raise their hand if they know someone who has been victimized by gun violence. In a Temple classroom, the majority of students in the class raise their hand. But today is a good day in moving forward in addressing the issue of youth gun violence here in the City of Philadelphia. As Chair of the Special Committee on Gun Violence, I work closely with partners across the City of Philadelphia on better coordination and planning for gun violence prevention. This is not an easy task. A leading partner in the newly formed Office of Violence Prevention, which has been reexamining the City's violence prevention approach from the ground up, I have full faith in the office Director, Shondell Revell, but I have become convinced that they need additional capacity in order to succeed Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 in their mission. I want to thank you, Council President, today for working to bring the $200,000 to the Managing Director's Office to support this effort in addressing the issue of youth gun violence. This is only the first step as we approach the budget process to begin prioritizing how we address the issue of youth gun violence here in the City of Philadelphia. These funds will build on other important gun violence prevention steps the City has taken recently, including the Police Department new gun violence suppression unit. You know last year we had entered the year with over 317 homicides here in the City of Philadelphia. So that should not go under the radar. There is a new task force to specifically go after guns. And also the Law Department's lawsuit to ensure timely reporting of the national database for gun background checks and the Health Department's anti-gun violence Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 media campaign. This is one small step in our efforts to address the issue of youth gun violence, but if we're going to be a great city, if we're going to recruit companies such as Amazon to come to the City of Philadelphia, we must have a safe city. So, Council President, I want to thank you for your leadership and your partnership, and I also want to thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Public Safety, who is also working diligently and closely with me to address this issue. This is only the beginning, and as we move closer to the budget process, then that's really where the rubber is going to hit the road as we advocate for initiatives to put boots on the ground so we can have young men and young ladies having the opportunity to get involved in something that's positive as opposed to picking up guns. Thank you very much, Council Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 President.
Thank you, Councilman. Thank you for continuing the focus.

Jerome Dorsey, commenting on 171138. (Witness approached podium.)
Good day, everyone, Council President Clarke and City Council members and everyone else in attendance. In October of last year, I was arrested by the Philadelphia Police Department, actually with no evidence. A warrant was sent out from the District Attorney's Office. No evidence. This is in reference to Curtis Jones' resolution to reform bail here in the City of Philadelphia. So that occurred. I didn't think much of it. I said okay, all right. I'll get an opportunity to prove my innocence that had nothing to do with Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 anything. However, I was given an excessive bail. You know, when you get locked up, I don't know if anybody -- how many people have been locked up. That was actually my first time. They take your cell phone. You can't remember a number. The only number I could remember was my mother's number. She called a friend of mine, and they got in touch with the Community Bail Fund. I mean, a $30,000 bail, that's a lot of money. And particularly I couldn't get in contact with anybody. But I'd just like to read something, current initiatives to reform bail in Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, State Senator Daylin Leach, Minority Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has announced his intention to introduce legislation to end pretrial detention for failure to pay bail. We are enclosing his co-sponsorship memos. New Philadelphia Mayor Jim Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 Kenney has said that his committee to reform Philadelphia's bail system and holding fewer people for pretrial, the City of Philadelphia has recently awarded a $3.5 million grant from the MacArthur Foundation to find ways to reduce the county jail population by 34 percent over the next three years, and ending cash bail will be essential in reaching and hopefully exceeding his goal. Thank you.
Thank you for your testimony. Clerk, would you please read our next person to testify today.
Joshua Glenn, commenting on 171138. (Witness approached podium.)
How y'all doing? My name is Joshua Glenn. I'm a member of the No215Jail Coalition. I'm also a member of the Coalition for a Just District Attorney, also the co-founder of the Youth Art and Self-Empowerment Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 Project, and I'm also a member of the Philadelphia Reentry Think Tank. I was signed up to speak on the Bill 171138, but I actually want to speak on the bill or the resolution that Curtis Jones is producing about ending cash bail in Philadelphia. And I also see ways that in the cash bail, it's kind of connected to the mental health stuff too. I believe that if people aren't held pretrial on cash bails, then they won't be in prison and they won't have to deal with their mental health issues in prison. Especially I don't think they should have to deal with them in there, because the prisons aren't really fit to deal with the mental health issues. I think they should be in mental health facilities. But to go into my story, at the age of 16, I was locked up and charged as an adult and I was held in adult prison pretrial for 18 months until my case was eventually dismissed due to lack of Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 evidence. When I got out, I mean, there were so many barriers in my way for me to get back on track. So when I got out, one, I couldn't get a job. Even though I wasn't convicted of the crime, I couldn't get a job, because every time I would try to go and try to apply for a job, it would come up that I was arrested and charged as an adult. So that would stop me from getting employment. Also the 18 months that I was locked up, my family split up. I ended up having to go into a foster home, and it was a really hard process for me. The only reason I'm here today and the only reason I'm here and representing all these organizations in doing such amazing work is because of the support that I had, and I think that we need to shift the culture of what punishment means. We need to create more programs that help people change their lives upon their release. We need to create more programs that support people during their Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 incarceration and after their incarceration so that they can change their lives. One, we need to end cash bail. Cash bail has been used as a tool to hold people in jail for long periods of time and to get them to plea out. To tell the story about my situation again, I mean, on my trial date, my public defender came in and told me, he said, Look, you're going to lose this case. He said, They're giving you time served. You can get out today. I think you should take this deal. I didn't take the deal, you know. I said, No. I didn't do it. I'm not taking the deal, and then I ended up beating the case. And standing right next to me, the same attorney that just lied to me and said I was going to lose, it's hard, and that happens to people every day because this cash bail system. Also, it's not fair. You know, it doesn't have anything to do with Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 public safety. It doesn't make our public any more safer. If a person can afford to get out, they can get out and it doesn't make our community any more safe. And so we need to really end cash bail and we need to figure out a way to create programs that address the root causes of why people are committing crimes in the first place. Thank you. That's my time. I can still talk, but that's my time.
Cara Tratner, commenting on 171138. (Witness approached podium.)
Hi. Good morning, everyone. My name is Cara Tratner. I'm here to speak on the same bill and same issue as Josh Glenn and also Jerome Dorsey who started. I'm from Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 the No215Jail Coalition and the Philadelphia Community Bail Fund. I feel lucky to be one of the organizers of the Community Bail Fund because I'm one of the people who has the opportunity to go into the jails and speak with the folks who we're able to post bail for. So as the Community Bail Fund, we pay bail for people who can't afford bail because they and their families don't have the means to afford it. And in those conversations -- so I'm here to speak about the resolution that Councilman Jones is putting forward today as well about ending cash bail in Philadelphia. And I just wanted to share a little of my experience with the Bail Fund, because in those meetings when I go and meet with individuals, when we go to let them know the decision that we're able to post their bail, often what happens is I am holding someone's hand and they're crying with me and telling me, I never thought I was going to go home. I had no idea how Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 I was going to get home. My family didn't have the money to pay. And Jerome is an example, the first man who spoke today. He wouldn't be here today to speak with you all if we weren't able to post his bail, because he would still be in jail, because he's still awaiting trial. So there's another individual who we posted bail for by the name of Carlette, who was sitting in jail for 14 months, over a year, just waiting for court. Never met -- she never even saw her attorney's face in that entire 14 months that she was sitting in jail because of an unaffordable bail until we posted her bail. So these are just a couple examples. We've bailed out 30 people now in this way. But as proud as I am of the work we're doing, I'm also infuriated that we need to exist. It shouldn't be on the hands of volunteers like myself who are raising money from our own Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 communities and from communities in this city to pay unaffordable bail to give people their freedom. And right now bail is being used in a way that not only we know is unconstitutional and illegal, even by the rules of the own FJD and by the Supreme Court hearing, which says detention should be a carefully limited exception, and right now detention is the rule in this city. Detention is the default that's being used, and unaffordable bail is a strategy that's being used to keep people in jail and to detain them before trial. So we're here to urge City Council to support the resolution, that we applaud Councilman Jones for putting forward this resolution, and we believe that Council has some power in this. We know that it's a statewide change that would need to be made to eliminate bail, but we also know that budget hearings are coming up and we know that there's ways that City Council can work with the FJD, Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 can put pressure on the First Judicial District and the DA's Office to make changes that would actually end the money bail system and, importantly to us, would stop holding people pretrial, not just on money but for no means, would actually make detention a last resort. So we thank you for your time. (Applause.)
ArJun Malik, commenting on 171138. (Witness approached podium.)
I'm also here to speak about the resolution that Councilman Jones put forward. Thank you, Councilman Jones, for your resolution on ending cash bail. My name is ArJun Malik. I'm speaking on behalf of the Philadelphia Bail Fund, which has a similar goal to the Community Bail Fund. We post bail for people who cannot afford Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 it, and our goal is to vigorously advocate for the end of cash bail in Philadelphia. Bail funds can only do so much, but we need structural change in the City, and I have three points on that today. So the first is if Council is serious about ending money bail in the City, it needs to put pressure on the FJD and the Municipal Court. Oftentimes the discussion on bail reform focuses on the State Legislature, and that's great, but the Municipal Court in Philadelphia has great power, discretionary power, over setting people's bail. The state legislation, as it stands today, it provides multiple options for release on one's own recognizance, on non-monetary conditions, on unsecured money bail. So, in other words, it provides all of these options that do not require people to pay for their pretrial freedom. So it is completely up to the discretion of the Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 Municipal Court to decide on what options will be selected in different cases. So if the majority of the Municipal Court judges and the President Judge of the Municipal Court committed to a set of guidelines that reduced or eliminated the use of cash bail, they would be implemented almost immediately. So Philadelphia does not need to wait for the Legislature to act on this issue. The City can do so itself through the Municipal Court. The second point I wanted to make was on the early bail review program, which many people have heard of, which has been implemented through the MacArthur program. The program is a step in the right direction, but I want to point out two major flaws that Council should focus on. First, early bail review hearings only happen five days after someone is arraigned. Five days is far too long. Five days in pretrial detention, especially for people in Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 poverty, means the loss of employment, means the loss of housing, and even the loss of custody over children. And studies have found that just three days in pretrial detention cause high rates of recidivism and high rates of failure to appear. Second, early bail review today only covers a small subset of the cases that come before the court. Council needs to work towards expanding EBR hearings and making sure they happen in a much more timely manner. And, finally, I want to make the point that Philadelphia's -- well, I'm out of time, but Philadelphia's regime of pretrial detention violates some basic constitutional principles that we need to look to, including the right to have legal counsel. Thank you.
Clerk, could Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 you please read the name of our next speaker, please.
Wayne Jacobs, commenting on 171138. (Witness approached podium.)
Good morning, Council, and thank you for giving me this opportunity. I know Council is going to do the right thing in terms of passing this initiative, and I'd like for Council to look at this initiative as not so much as making money but saving money. You know, we can finally do something to save money and possibly put people back to work. You know, when looking at the no bail thing, you have to also look at the fact that now we have people that is accused of crimes, that we can save $135 a day and still maintain public safety. You know, once that person is arrested, we can still maintain that public safety. Because why? We can now suggest to these individuals that they can go and Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 participate in different things that is available for them while they're waiting for court. We can also look at ways of providing housing for folks who doesn't have addresses because of the fact that they've been arrested and doesn't have a place to live. So I'm just -- I'm looking at this initiative as a way that the City of Philadelphia can save money and use that money in other areas. Thank you.
Thank you. Clerk, our next speaker, please. (Applause.)
Robert Burdge, commenting on 170678. (Witness approached podium.)
Yes. My name is Robert Burdge. Mr. Curtis, how are you, sir? I'm talking about this Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 mixed-income housing project that you guys have been avoiding, and it's really important because I've been on your -I'm trying to get housing right now. This is something very -- I've been on your list for six years now, gentlemen and ladies. This is really getting to be really tight. This is something that works in other cities. I've been -- I've not been a part of it, but I've been working for the contractor to have it. It works in other cities. Do not be afraid that people won't build houses here in Philadelphia. Just it works, and it works in other cities and it's just something that I think that we need affordable housing here in Philadelphia. I'm really stressed right now. I'm in a shelter that -- I've been in the shelter for nine months and I've been going to all my housing projects, and it's going to take me another year before I can get housing, and that's because Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 there's no affordable housing available. If we let the people that are building new projects take part of this -- how it works is that they will put 30 percent -well, that's what New York City does. Every building that -- because I worked for -- if you build a housing project in a city, they make you do 30 percent of it has to be for low-income people, and that's what it is. And if you want more information, you can get a hold of me. You know how to do that. You can get more information and I can tell you how it works in other cities. Thank you.
Hiro Nishikawa, commenting on Fred Korematsu Day resolution introduced by Councilwoman Gym today. (Witness approached podium.) Stated Meeting January 25, 2018
Members of City Council, it is a great honor that I testify on behalf of the Philadelphia JACL, with the Japanese American Citizens League, to support the resolution to declare January 30, 2018 as Korematsu Day in our City of Brotherly and Sisterly Love. Our Chapter was founded in 1947, and it's part of the national civil rights organization established in 1929 with headquarters now in San Fran and Washington, DC. During and after World War II, Quakers based in Philadelphia helped rescue hundreds of Japanese Americans from the war relocation of 30 camps and brought them to this region for jobs and attending schools. Many of these folks later on were involved in the formation of the Philadelphia JACL. One Chapter member, William Marutani, was the first Asian American to present an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1967 to halt Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 state anti-discrimination laws in the case of Loving versus Virginia. This result finally struck down laws preventing mixed-race marriages throughout the United States. Marutani later became the first Asian American judge. Guess where? Common Pleas Court in Philadelphia in 1975. This is a major city of east of the Mississippi. He was also a member of the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians, a commission established by President Jimmy Carter in 1978 to gather information on the Japanese American incarceration during World War II. A book, Personal Justice Denied, was the first final report which gave grounding to two major developments. The first was the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 which provided redress to Japanese Americans for their loss of constitutional rights during World War II. This congressional campaign was led by Grace Uyehara, who is now deceased, a Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 founding member of the Philadelphia JACL. This act was profound in that the United States government admitted a wrong based on racial prejudice, wartime hysteria, and lack of political leadership. The other result of this study was the coram nobis cases in 1983 where Fred Korematsu in California was finally vindicated for his personal refusal to be incarcerated in WRA camps during World War II and then losing his civil rights in a decision all the way up to the Supreme Court in 1944. But with the coram nobis cases, his name is being cleared and Korematsu began to speak on civil rights issues with renewed energy. Following 9/11, he even filed amicus briefs on behalf of prisoners in Guantanamo being held indefinitely without due process. He warned the Supreme Court not to repeat the mistakes foisted on Japanese Americans after new, quote, enemy faces. He also urged others to protest, but not with violence, and Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 don't be afraid to speak up. One person can make a difference, even if it takes 40 years. His spirits continue to inspire us. Thank you. (Applause.)
Catherine Blunt, commenting on 170954. (Witness approached podium.)
-- City Council. I applaud the intent and spirit of Ordinance 170954 regarding the Philadelphia School District's transition to local control as encouraged by that March 2015 vote in which the majority of voters in this city voted against the SRC. Abraham Lincoln called for a government of, by, and for the people. Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 This ordinance allows for a Philadelphia School Board that is more democratically appointed with the involvement of City Council in the process. I am here with Dr. Palmer, who is the Administrative Assistant of W. Curtis Thomas, and I am now going to read you some of his concerns. Three months have gone by in this race to take control of the School District, yet no school transition team study is in place. No comprehensive plan has been put before the public as of now. Under PA Right to Know law, the public has a right to know what the process was used to appoint 13 members to the nominating committee. Representative Thomas wants to know why the Black Clergy weren't involved, why was there not an African American organization involved, particularly since the overwhelming majority of students in the School District are African American. He says City Council should Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 also question why birth dates and other personal identifying information is required on forms to nominate School Board candidates. This blocked many submitting forms on behalf of candidates and so, therefore, an accurate number of candidates cannot be ascertained. Finally, what additional supports will there be for low-performing schools? Will this new School Board have independent fiscal authority? Will it be able to make final decisions about spending needs? Will teachers be able to teach in their areas of competency? Will the interior and exterior of school campuses be safe? And will the infrastructure, books, supplies, and technology materials, be available in safe and secure environments? These are why the City must create a comprehensive and well-documented, thought-out plan regarding the process of building a School Board. And he says he would like Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 it to be -- and he thinks you would too. He would like it to be a fair and equitable process for all students regardless of zip code. He says it is our duty. Thank you. (Applause.)
Ruth Birchett, commenting on 160007. (Witness approached podium.)
Thank you. Good morning, everyone. I would like to begin just very briefly by stating my appreciation to Councilwomen Brown and Gym for the bill of 170408. As an elder who has volunteered in an elementary school in my neighborhood, Frederick Douglass School, I have gotten to call many homes in reference to our children and their difficulties in school, and I Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 would tell you very clearly that our children are challenged by the impact of violence in our communities, and a lot of times their behaviors exhibited in school cause them to end up being suspended from school, and it compromises their education. I've seen it over and over again. I am here, though, right now to speak to Bill 160007 and express my approval of this bill being repealed. I would tell you that this bill brings to mind what's happening right now with Temple University's efforts to build a stadium in our community and their desire to close North 15th Street, which is the only street west of Broad Street other than 20th Street and 22nd that goes all -- comes all the way to Center City. I would tell you that I'm disappointed that neither Temple University nor our Councilman has thought enough of our community to have a community meeting so that you can hear Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 what the larger community -- how the larger community feels about this plan. It is disruptive. We're asking that over the next week, that Temple University as well as Council President Clarke, if you all would agree to have a community meeting at the High School for Engineering and Science, my former elementary school, so that we can discuss these plans -- the plans for them to do a special service district as well, which I believe is a neighborhood improvement district in disguise, as well as talk about the closure of North 15th Street as well. Please do not, this Council, please do not entertain any bill coming before this Council to close North 15th Street without our community having an opportunity to give our views. Please do not disrespect us in that way. It's simply not fair. It is not democratic. (Applause.)
Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 Thank you for your testimony.
Fiona Cavanaugh, commenting on 171145. (Witness approached podium.)
I hope y'all are doing well. I will be brief. So in this bill, the neighborhood improvement district as outlined in this bill looks like it would benefit the community and help keep it clean, because it was planned in partnership with the community. Meanwhile it brings concern to mind for me Temple University has proposed somewhat similar development plans, but these plans have not been done openly, honestly or in partnership with community. I want to be clear that we do not want this Council to entertain any Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 bill proposing a special services district or a neighborhood improvement district by Temple University. There has been no communication with the surrounding North Philadelphia community about such changes. Temple University is accelerating its efforts to build a football stadium in our North Philadelphia residential community. Council President Clarke and Temple University President Englert have ignored and even refused requests to meet with our community about the stadium. Therefore, as a former Temple University student and as a community resident and as a Stadium Stomper, we ask the City Council to reject consideration of any bill that proposes the permanent closure of the 1800 and 1900 blocks of North 15th Street. It is a major thoroughfare from North Philadelphia to Center City. Council President Clarke, again, we request that you and Temple Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 University President Englert attend a public meeting at the GW Carver High School for Engineering and Science hosted by Stadium Stompers. We expect to be contacting about scheduling this meeting within one week. Thank you.
Joe Danihel, commenting on 171135 and 171136. (Witness approached podium.)
Again, taking property and not listening to the people. This is an official decree of the people in writ of mandamus quo warranto and, as such, requires immediate action and remedy. Every week Council, Mayor, and others transfer private property to the government, probably illegally. Do the people receive their rights from God? Are these rights plentoring (ph)? How can agents and Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 agencies deny and defy inalienable, inviolable, God-given rights? If government has deemed itself more powerful than God, then why must officials take an oath to God? How can agents and agencies steal my home without compensation, due process or Seventh Amendment trial by jury? How can government pay a contractor upwards of 100 million, mostly federal taxpayer dollars, to build a mall on my stolen home? How can officials defy oath, Constitution, and laws without required prosecution? I quote Justice Marshall, The very essence of civil liberties certainly consists in the right of every individual to claim protection of the laws, whenever he receives an injury. One of the first duties of government is to afford that protection. Could any of the officials recently honoring Dr. King look Dr. King in the eye knowing they stole my home? Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 The Constitution and laws require immediate remedy of this breach of law, breach of close, breach of fiduciary duty. Your oath of office requires you to act or face prison. 42 USC 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 18 USC 241, 242, 2381, 2384, PA Constitution, Article I, Sections 1 through 11, 26 PA CSA 703, 705, 708, 709, 712, 713, 716 and other laws listed in SCOTUS 15-8965, 14-1330, 14-4056 appear violated. I call for the federal and Commonwealth governments to perform their constitutional obligations to investigate and prosecute all involved in the illegal theft and illegal deed transfer of my home, 1038 West Wyoming Avenue. The denial of God-given 42 USC 1982 property rights for 24 years is egregious, extraordinary, oath-violating, and requires immediate remedy. A just government must obey the rule of law. This color of law Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 1/25/18 - STATED - 2ND READING government must have its Charter to govern revoked until a constitutionally compliant government is installed. Public servants cannot refuse their sworn duty to act any more than a fireman can refuse to fight a fire. The sovereign people require the Constitution and laws be enforced. Jail is required for all who violate oath, Constitution or law. I remind Council, it takes a lot of cooperation to create and allow monumental corruption.

Thank you very much, Mr. Decker. That concludes our Calendar for today. Are there any speeches on the part of the minority? And the Chair recognizes Councilman Taubenberger.
Thank you, Council President. I just want to Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 elected official that long ago gave great service to this city as District Attorney and as U.S. Senator. In 2008, Mr. Specter, a Senator from Pennsylvania -- and I'm quoting from the New York Times -- said that a former employee, Matt Walsh, described elaborate measures by the Patriots to conceal their filming of opponents' signals. Mr. Walsh also explained how the Patriots' coaching staff gleaned and gathered strategic information from members of the team's video crew who have watched the St. Louis Rams walk through their practice before the 2002 Super Bowl. He also identified more games of opponents that were filmed by the Patriots and detailed the advantages that the team gained in later games. Mr. Specter, a longtime Philadelphia Eagles fan, has battled with the NFL on several issues over the years. This time with his continued criticism of the League's investigation into the Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 Patriots, he is raising questions about the legitimacy of the Patriots' accomplishments, which includes three Super Bowl titles this decade, one against the Eagles and an 18 to nothing record last season before a loss to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. Mr. Specter said the League should initiate an inquiry like the one commissioned by Major League Baseball to explore the use of performance-enhancing drugs in that sport. Mr. Specter is quoted as saying -- or Senator Specter, "They owe the public a lot more candor and a lot more credibility." Well, this game will vindicate. This victory we will have in two weeks will give the victors all the more justice to overcome this awful situation that the Patriots have done over the years. So I say very loudly to all my colleagues and to the entire City, go Eagles for justice. (Applause.) Stated Meeting January 25, 2018
Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Oh.
Thank you very much, Council President. I just wanted to alert the public that the Office of Transportation Infrastructure Systems is having an open house this evening between the hours of 6:00 and 8:00, anyone who is interested in electric vehicle infrastructure. That report was completed by a task force. Councilman Squilla and myself were pleased to be a member of the task force, and everyone got together. There were people representing the EV owners, and a report and recommendations were completed. So the public is invited to the Municipal Services Building, which is right across from City Hall on John F. Kennedy Boulevard and on the 16th floor -- or actually on Arch Street. I'm sorry -- okay. I'm sorry. The Municipal Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 Building, 16th floor, Innovation Lab, where they can hear about the recommendations, offer criticism and concerns. Thank you very much.
Thank you, Councilman. On behalf of the majority, the Chair recognizes Councilman Squilla.
Thank you, Mr. President. And I too want to go with our Councilman Taubenberger saying that, you know, this year, 2018 is the Year of the Dog for the Chinese. So we're going to rename it the Year of the Underdog for the Chinese New Year in honor of the Eagles. But I do want to welcome all the Councilmembers back, and tonight 5:00 to 7:00 remind everybody down at the Winterfest down at Penn's Landing. You're all welcome to come down with staff and enjoy a couple hours of the great venue down there with maybe some Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 food and drinks. So hopefully if people can make it down there, we'll see you down there. If you have any questions, call our office and we'll help to guide you to the right spot. Thank you.
Thank you, Councilman. Thank you for that information. The Chair recognizes Councilman Jones.
Thank you, Mr. President. So keeping on the Eagles theme but on a serious note, the NFL Commissioner, unbeknownst to a lot of people, Roger Goodell, as well as our personal hero of public safety Who Wore It Best, Malcolm Jenkins, spent an afternoon, about an hour, down at our Pretrial Unit over in CJC, and what they saw through a cash bail system shocked them to their core, so much so that they committed to be a part of the criminal Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 firsthand how unfair, inequitable, and sometimes downright prejudice to poor people that system was. I want to thank you, Mr. President, for allowing me for the last two years to be a part of the Criminal Justice Reform Committee as one of the co-chairs, and we discussed and found out a great many things about criminogenic behavior, ranging from overcrowded jails, school-to-prison pipelines, constant reoccurrences of criminal acts, so much so that an article was released today about grandfathers serving with their sons and serving with their grandsons at the same jail, so much so that we have had books dedicated to the over-incarceration of the negro, calling it the new Jim Crow. So we here are -- and one of the things that I'm calling for personally because of your commitment to put us in a situation where we were Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 systems, I'm calling for the end to a cash bail system in the City of Philadelphia and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. (Applause.)
Mr. President, in our research we found out that a cash bail system comes from a thousand-year-old medieval system that was created to make sure that -- and they knew even then that jails were too costly, and so we should let the accused go if they were not a danger to themselves or society and that someone could assure that they would return to face trial. That's a thousand-year-old medieval system that hasn't changed much. The American bail system has become the central issue in fighting the effects of mass incarceration and disproportionate impact on minorities and poor people. Every day there are thousands of people that are not released from our jails, costing us, even my Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 be more concerned about the budget impact, at $130 a day for $100 bail, meaning 10 percent of the thousand dollars that they might be called for. We have the fourth largest jail population per capita of every large city in America, fourth largest. William Penn tried to reform the system in 1682 by creating the Clerk of Quarter Sessions Office to manage that system. We had hearings about that and some of the problems with it and eliminated it, but we did not eliminate the cash bail system. I would suggest to my colleagues that anything that's 100 years old might require a checkup, a tune-up, a fix-up and a change. (Applause.)
Bail has two purposes: to make sure people come back and to protect the public. In Washington, DC they have not had a cash bail system in over 20 years. And just Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 face, oh, the sky is falling and all hell is going to break loose, they did not -- that did not happen. In fact, Washington, DC's crime rates went down. And nobody goes away for free, scot-free. Nobody just opens the jail and lets people out. They let them out if they are not a danger to themselves or society with conditions. So me and -- where did he go, the cameraman that has the Dallas cap? We get in a bar fight on Friday because he's a Dallas fan. Now, we're friends, but I have a drinking problem, and this is a reoccurrence. Every Friday night I get my drink on and I go fight him. So the judge says, You know what, Mr. Jones, you probably don't need to be in jail. You probably need to be in a rehab. Would you go to rehab and by the time you get back here, maybe you've completed that course, maybe you've seen the light, maybe you've changed your behavior for the better, and if not, we'll take that Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 accordingly. But you will be released with conditions. You will come back because you have an opportunity not to face prison time. Those should be the options as opposed to debtors' prison. Bail in Philadelphia has become a big business, and we know we're going to catch some flack about looking at things a little differently, but that's okay. So I'm calling for three things. One, I'm calling and asking that our counterparts in the Senate and in the House in Pennsylvania take a look at this for all of Pennsylvania. And if they can't do it for all of Pennsylvania, loosen up the regulations for cities of the first class like Philadelphia so we can manage our criminal justice system a little better. I'm going to also call upon the First District to take a look at our policies. As was said earlier, we have certain flexibility within our own rules Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 rules that we should look at. And then I'm going to call for Governor Wolf in Harrisburg to make this happen from a legal way. Now, that does not mean that we open the jails and let everybody out, because we met with 20 inmates up on State Road and we asked them the simple question: Should some people be incarcerated? And they looked around at each other and said, Yup, some of us need to be here. But the vast majority of us that suffer because we're in jail because they don't have money to get out, they lose their jobs, they lose their apartments and homes, they lose their families and dignity and respect, and it creates a catastrophic series of events that they can't get out of. It increases poverty when a kid goes and is pressured, as it was said, because they're sitting up there with the pressure of being in jail and they plead guilty. They do not Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 they plead guilty just because they want that pressure of incarceration off of them that there are over 200 things they will never get to do or be in this country, ranging from living in public housing with your family to ever being a postman or receiving a federal loan to start a business. We have to take a look. I am encouraged, Mr. President, and had a good conversation with the Public Defender and the new District Attorney, and they too are looking at what work we've done to begin to incorporate that in their various departments. But I want to tell my other colleagues that our work is on the budget side. It's okay to know how to do good, but we also have to know how much doing good costs. So I'm going to say this in closing, that it's easier to help an at-risk kid than to try later to fix a broken man or woman. So thank you, Mr.
Thank you, Councilman, and thank you for your continued good work on your committee. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Blackwell.
Thank you, Mr. President. Yesterday was Lu's 15th anniversary, the day of his passing. Time moves swiftly. But today I rise to note the District Councilpeople have on their desks flyers of these cute little people, and it says Days Off School Meal Program. You all will remember that we passed a bill here stating that if schools are closed when City Hall and government buildings are open, that we should still make sure that children get fed. And so this is a flyer -- and your Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 case you want to duplicate them or change them -- that gives you the dates and locations in your districts for where children can get food on days when schools are closed and government buildings are open. Enjoy. Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, Council President. I have three quick items. Today I co-introduced with my colleague Councilman Al Taubenberger a very important piece of legislation to increase the amount of money that may be awarded to family members of fallen firefighters, police officers, prosecution detectives killed in the course of performing heroic deeds. These fallen heroes, fellow citizens, Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 most selfless service to our city, putting their lives on the line day in and day out to protect each and every one of us. Previously my colleague Councilman Taubenberger increased the Hero Awards to 50,000 as a way to express our gratitude for their selfless acts these heroic individuals perform in the line of duty. We feel it should be increased to $100,000 in the future. While no amount of money can heal the grief of the families of these fallen heroes, it can hopefully make their daily life a little easier. I'd like to offer a moment of silence. We had a terrible tragedy in the City, a firefighter, Lieutenant Matthew LeTourneau, passed away fighting a fire two or three weeks ago. I'd like to have a moment of silence in his memory.
Thank you, Councilman. Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 moment of silence for our fallen hero firefighter. Please have a moment. (Moment of silence.)
EITC Day is tomorrow, and as you all know by now, I'm a huge proponent of the Earned Income Tax Credit and today introduced a resolution recognizing January 26th as EITC Awareness Day in Philadelphia. Today I'd like to acknowledge Mary Arthur, the Chief Executive Officer of Campaign for Working Families, as well as several employees of the IRS, including Doris Greenwood, who was here before, Joseph Solari, Victor Suarez and others who are present here today. Maybe you could please stand. (Applause.)
And I've said before, the average refund is $2,500 per Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 $100 million is being left on the table every year, could go to 40,000 Philadelphians. This year the Campaign for Working Families has over 20 sites for free tax preparation throughout the City. Please visit one of their locations to file your free tax return to see if you qualify for EITC. You can also go to youearneditphilly.com for more information. And besides Campaign for Working Families, there's United Way and the Revenue Department do a good job in getting the money back. The last piece I want to mention is -- actually, two pieces. Appraisals. I introduced legislation today that requires an appraisal prior to Council approving acquisition of title in real estate. This does not apply to Land Bank, PRDA, Sheriff Sales or eminent domain. I'm talking about the big purchases, like a $40 or $50 million type property. Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 an appraisal prior to Council approving the sale of real estate when the value of such real estate is in excess of 200,000 as assigned by OPA. Last, but not least, I want to stand with Councilman Jones on this bail reform. December 28th I took a tour of the prisons with Commissioner Carney for six hours. I visited all six prisons and saw what was going on, which is really terrible. And whatever I can do to support you with non-cash bail, I mean, I'm 100 percent in. I see what's going on, and it's a problem. Just two side ventures, though. I visited juveniles who are in prison. These are people under the age of 18. And we're going to, through Sylvester Mobley, I'm going to pay for a course to teach them coding. Sixteen or 17 of them signed up for a course on coding in prison, so when they come out, they'll have a career. We're also doing that for some of the adults Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 we can get them back on track. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. President. I just wanted to say also I want to echo Councilman Domb and thank Councilman Jones for his very important work that he's doing on bail reform as well and really all of my colleagues for the hard work and the work that's being done, and Councilwoman Blackwell with the Days Off School Meals Program, which I remember when we passed here in City Council and had hearings on it. We've done some really great work on that and other issues. So I just really wanted to recognize my colleagues on all the hard work they're doing. But I also wanted to mention Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 things. The first is that today I introduced a resolution for hearings with our train rail operators, which would include Amtrak, SEPTA, CSX, Conrail, and Norfolk Southern regarding the rail lines and the appearance of Philadelphia as you travel inside and outside. It's really quite disgraceful. And so what we're doing is hopefully having a hearing in which we can come to a compromise, a spirit of cooperation and work together, because we know that a lot of people come in and out and through Philadelphia, and the appearance matters. The first impression really does matter, and this is a first impression. So we look forward to having those conversations publicly and hearing what they have to offer in terms of cleanup and maintenance of their property, not City property, not private property but their property. So we look forward to having that conversation. And this is a nice segue into Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 Eagles, because we know that people are going to be coming into Philadelphia because the Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl, but as they are coming in, we want to mention that on Super Bowl Sunday, we're going to be having a community block party, tailgate, Super Bowl party. It's going to be held at Lonnie Young Recreation Center on Super Bowl Sunday at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the festivities will start. We're going to have Philadelphia's legendary DJ Gary O, along with the Urban Guerilla Orchestra. We're going to have all kinds of activities. Everything is free, free food. And we just want folks to come out and be safe and have a good time in the community. So, again, this is going to be at Lonnie Young Rec Center on Super Bowl Sunday, which is February 4th, starting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and it's going to be, again, a community tailgate and Super Bowl watch party. So we just want to invite folks Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 come out from all over the City. Thank you.
Awesome. Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Johnson.
Thank you, Council President. It does feel good to be back with this robust of hardworking people here in City Council. Just a couple things I just want to acknowledge. One, I want to also acknowledge Councilman Curtis Jones, particularly on the issue of ending cash bail, because we all know that your checkbook or your pocketbook shouldn't determine your freedom. So I do want to thank you for your leadership on this particular issue. And also I remember, Councilman Domb, over the holiday I also visited the young people on State Road to take a look at solitary confinement and had a chance Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 of the young men to try to get an idea of their current experience while they were on State Road, and they talked about the coding program, they talked about the engineering technical program that they have there, but also the need for bringing more programs inside the prisons so they can also focus on making the transition when they do go back into society. And so we want to continue to make sure that we're being supportive of those. These are juveniles, basically children, that are in adult prisons -- that are in the adult prison system, and making sure they have all the support that they have. And I think the part that broke my heart was a young man who received a 40-year sentence. He's 17 years old. And I asked him about his experience while he was waiting on State Road to be sentenced, and he said it's difficult to be away from my parents, because I've never been away from my parents. This is Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 arrested. So here's a kid, first time being arrested, get a 40-year hit, like right off the beginning, right? And so it just reinforces the urgency that, again, if we're going to be a great city, we're going to bring Amazon here to the City of Philadelphia, we need to continue to make sure addressing the issue of youth gun violence and keeping the guns out of the hands of our young people is our number one priority. If we can have safe injection sites for those who want to get high, surely we can find ways to keep guns out of young people who want to get involved in something that's positive. And so on this budget process coming up, I'm going to be very aggressive, and that means calling folks out that's not stepping up to make sure we have the resources available to support our young people. No young person this summer should be looking for a summer job. Like Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 we have to take in order to take back the streets of the City of Philadelphia for our young people. But on another note, Council President, I want to thank you for stepping up to the plate to address this issue of congestion when it comes to traffic, the flow of traffic in the City of Philadelphia. And so I had a recent meeting with Michael Carroll to talk about how we're going to look at congestion. I live in Point Breeze, South Philadelphia. I lived in South Philly all my life. I used to walk to Center City, right? Rittenhouse Square before there was new residents, I used to hang out there when I was a kid, right? You could walk from Point Breeze to work ten minutes, right? It took me a half an hour to get to my team retreat on 17th and Market from Point Breeze last Friday, and this is consistent. And so we got to Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 new traffic flow plan, because right now we're on the verge of becoming a New York, and if you go to New York, you know it don't make sense to get in the car to go anywhere because this gridlock. So whatever we come up with, rather it's civilian patrol officers similar to New York, rather it's a toll on cars similar to New York, because you have Uber and you have Lyft drivers just riding around, riding around. And so we got to figure it out.
But it's getting ridiculous how long it takes to get from Point A to Point B even when we leave here to go home. I know to get to South Philly, I got to pick between Broad Street and 15th Street on going to get my son. I got to go all the way up to like 21st just to get back to 17th Street. That don't make any sense. So we got to figure out that traffic control piece, and thank you for at least providing one part of the Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 look at how do we take back our city when it comes to just getting around. So thank you, Council President.
It's going to be a very interesting discussion. We got some really good people coming in to talk about it. Thank you, Councilman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Green.
Thank you, Council President. I'm going to join my colleagues in saluting Councilman Jones for his leadership on addressing the bail issue in our city and ending cash bail. I also commend him for reaching out at the state level. I know State Representative Jordan Harris has been working on this issue and calling on our state counterparts and our Governor to also take steps to address cash bail here in the City of Philadelphia. And I just Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 on a point that he made and kind of illuminate that issue, that this is an issue of not only an equal justice issue but also an issue in reference to poverty. And when someone is not able to pay for bail and is in jail for a period of time and then they get released and the charges get dismissed, they come back to a broken home, they come back to not having a job, and it has a ripple effect in our entire City of Philadelphia. And when we talk about issues of having such a high amount of poverty, cash bail is one aspect that adds to the poverty in our city. And I want to also remind members of this body that during the Goode Administration, the City helped support a bail fund. And so until we get rid of cash bail, we need to have support of organizations that are providing bail funds. Some of them have testified today in reference to helping people to get out of jail. Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 last year regarding can the City support a bail fund. Councilman Johnson as well as Councilman Jones talked about the budget process, and so we'll be having some very interesting and difficult conversations with a number of parties about this issue, but also with the First Judicial District, as Councilman Jones said. So when we have our budget hearings and the First Judicial District comes to testify, we need to ask them the hard question about what happens when we charge someone bail and where does that money go to. When we had the hearings regarding the bail fund, they couldn't give us a specific background or information or reason on how they articulate and to find that number. Is that number to pay for the cost of running certain things? We couldn't get that number. It seemed very arbitrary. So I know I and I'm sure Councilman Jones and others will be Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 First Judicial District to find out how did they come up with the fees and fines that we charge in reference to bail. And then also we also need to have a conversation with the First Judicial District regarding the oversight of our bail commissioners, because although our new District Attorney, our public defenders can ask the court to not provide bail, the bail commissioner can still set bail. And I can recall, being both a former ADA here in Philadelphia and also being an assistant deputy attorney general in Delaware, times where I did not believe a state trooper or a police officer and did not want to move forward with a case or did not want to have a certain bail amount. It's still up to that bail commissioner to make that decision. So we need to make sure we have the hard questions with the First Judicial District before they get here Stated Meeting January 25, 2018 find out why and what amount they're setting on our bail funds and where that money is going to and, two, what's the oversight for our bail commissioners, so that way, we can take the steps, as Councilman Jones stated, to get rid of cash bail and also to support those organizations that are doing bail funds in that interim. Thank you, Council President.
That concludes our speeches on behalf of the minority and majority, and with that, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Reynolds Brown for a motion to adjourn.
Thank you, Mr. President. I move that Council stand adjourned until Thursday, February 1, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. (Duly seconded.)
