Thank you. The applause was well merited. It's taken a long time, but I think we're on a road to fairness and equity in job employment. There's no reason for any discriminatory practice, and I think the two bills that were just passed are going to effectively curve the practice and make it possible to genuinely ensure fair employment practices in the City of Philadelphia for everyone. 4/3/03 - STATED - 2ND READING AND FINAL PASSAGE My other short announcement is that the Knight Ridder chain which permitted a statement to be made that they were going to take action against predatory lending is apparently not true because in today's Daily News on it is commonplace as you can find. In the Daily News there's an advertisement urging poor people to make loans which will result in interest rates as high as 500 percent. It's about time that Knight Ridder understood the issue. They've been setting it for 10 days, and if they don't know now what a predatory loan is, I wonder about their capacity to run newspapers. Thank you, Madam President. (Applause.)
Are there any other speeches on the part of the majority? (No response.)
Seeing none, the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Tasco.
