Okay. The Chair recognizes Councilmember Jones.
Thank you, Mr. President. The message is clear, consistent, persistent that Mitt Romney, Governor Corbett are not concerned about Philadelphia, nor poor people. In the budget message that he sent, it was clear, it was mean-spirited. What elected official, what politician dares threaten kindergarten, Discover Works Global 888.557.8650 www.dw-global.com the tune of $21 million? (Applause.)
State-funded programs to the poor, to the elderly, to domestic violence survivors like Kenyatta Johnson is talking about are being dismantled right in front of our eyes, with nearly 25 percent cuts totalling $56 million to human services. You see, those cuts start in Harrisburg, but we feel them here in Philadelphia. (Applause.)
With even more cuts to medical assistant, community health centers, prenatal care, burn and trauma centers to the tune of $35 million. We, the City of Philadelphia, attempt to uplift education, to uplift our workforce, with the Governor cutting close to 25 percent of relatives' state universities. He says that he did not cut the school boards, but the truth be Discover Works Global 888.557.8650 www.dw-global.com flat-line a budget, it doesn't stop healthcare from increasing, it doesn't stop the fuel costs from increasing, it doesn't stop food from increasing. So a flat-line indeed is a cut. The budget address concerns Philadelphians and others throughout the Commonwealth. But I notice there is good news in the budget address. Prisons aren't being cut, $1.8 billion budget worth of prisons versus universities. So on behalf of this Council and the City of Philadelphia, I reject your mean-spirited argument as to why you presented this budget, and I do note that the Marcellus Shale extraction tax was indeed passed. Thank you, Mr. President. (Applause.)
