Councilman Jones

Thank you, Mr. President. In 1964 in Philadelphia, it was a time of political upheaval, but it was the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement here in Philadelphia. On that hot sultry evening August 28th, 1964, things began to boil over in what became the worst outbreak in civil unrest in modern Philadelphia history. That summer, racial tensions were at a height. Statistically, after that riot, 339 people were hurt, including 100 police officers. Hundreds were arrested. Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 to $23 million, in 1964 dollars. And although the riots began, they were done by an unsubstantiated rumor, on Cecil B. Moore a pregnant woman had been beaten to death by a police officer. It was not true. What had happened that day was a white officer was breaking up a black couple's domestic dispute, and the drums started beating in the neighborhood. The rumors went forth and the flash riot happened. Back then, President of City Council was D'Ortona, and he had his members. If they could have known what was going to happen that night that summer, what would they have been prepared to do to prevent that kind of blemish on our history, that kind of loss of property, and that kind of setback in race relations? Fast forward 50 years, Ferguson, Missouri; New York City; Baltimore, Maryland, and we see civil disobedience with the same types of Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 1964. Now, Philadelphia is not any of those cities. We should stay ahead of the curve, Mr. President, to remain not like them. And one of the things that I'm thankful for is that the Mayor has empowered an oversight committee to look at the Department of Justice's recommendations and how to implement them here. He has asked myself, Councilman Henon, and Councilwoman Sanchez to serve on that body, and what we hope to do is stay ahead of that curve. This board will look at those recommendations and try to implement them. What we hope to do in the next couple of months is to be the man that came back from the future to try to prevent those kinds of occurrences from ever, ever touching Philadelphia at all, and we can do it if we work together, all members of our city, the Police Department, the Administration, this body, City Council, and, most Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 importantly, the community and its young people who have not been heard in a real way and are concerned about their future in a substantial safety matter. All lives are precious. All lives are precious, those in blue and those that belong to me and you. And we're going to work to that end to keep Philadelphia streets safe this summer. Thank you, Mr. President.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilman. (Applause.)

Council President Clarke

The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Tasco.

Councilwoman Tasco

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. I very seldom speak on the Council floor on issues that are important to me, but today I do have two, so it's going to take a minute.

Council President Clarke

That's okay.

Councilwoman Tasco

com) Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 that I sent regarding their op-ed on PGW. I don't know what's wrong with those people up there at the paper. They probably need remedial education, because they don't understand when we send something what we say. They refuse to believe our comments, our side of the story. So I'm going to read this editorial. Maybe they will get it. I doubt it, but let me just share this with you. Not that it is any surprise that your latest editorial on PGW ("Hey, PGW, Step on the Gas") gets it wrong again. Although "the people paper" has refused to print my rebuttals and yours of similar editorials, I'll try again to get the record straight. It will not take 88 years to replace PGW's highest risk pipes. com) Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 that, at PGW's current rate, cast iron mains would be eliminated within 52 years. Another 13 years would be required to replace PGW's less risky unprotected coated steel pipe. As the PUC staff report mentions, PGW is already moving forward with plans to further increase the current pace of cast iron replacement. In late March PGW submitted its proposal to increase capital spending by $8 million in Fiscal Year 2016, increasing to about $15 million per year thereafter. If approved by City Council, this would allow PGW's cast iron replacement period to be reduced further at an average cost of about $2 per customer per month. You ignored it, but this is exactly what Council recommended to the Mayor back in October. While safety is a serious issue, your fear mongering is irresponsible. com) Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 with its large, urban peers. In part this is because PGW uses sophisticated guidelines to decide which pipes should be removed soonest. Unlike other companies, PGW's system is predominantly low pressure, creating much less actual risk from leaks. At the Gas Commission's urging, an updated benchmarking study will be completed in the fall to further assess PGW's replacement program and guide appropriate refinements. Two things you actually did get partially right. One, you finally admit that would-be buyer UIL did not make any contractual commitment to faster main replacement. But you still insist UIL would have been better able to finance a faster replacement schedule and instead, the burden will now fall on taxpayers and ratepayers. Wrong again. com) Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 by its customers. Two, replacing gas mains is not cheap. This is why a fair balance must be struck between speeding up pipe replacement and affordability for customers. Please, unless you are going to actually pay attention to the facts, let's move on to another topic. Thank you. The second one, Mr. President, is an article I received from Herb Wetzel yesterday, who has been with us and understands the issues we've dealt with in the past around predatory lending, and we ended up with the economy tanking and many thousands of people losing their homes because of predatory lending. The federal government, with the guidance of Congresswoman Elizabeth Warren, did something about it to control it, but here we are again, and I will read this briefly for you. com) Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 for American troops. House republicans are pushing legislation to block predatory lending protections for American soldiers under pressure from the banking lobby. GOP lawmakers tucked the deregulation item into the National Defense Authorization Act, a major bill setting the military's funding, along with a number of other controversial items on Guantanamo Bay and other issues.

Councilwoman Tasco

If the banking item is enacted, it would impose a one-year delay on new Department of Defense rules meant to shield military families from abusive terms on payday loans and other forms of high-interest credit. The bill is being considered Wednesday. That was yesterday. The military has been struggling with the financial impact of predatory lending on service members for years. com) Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 abuses targeting troops. 84 over the course of a year. 28 to pay off a $485 loan in just six months. Thousands of service members receive short-term, high-interest loans each year. In 2006, Congress passed legislation imposing a 36 percent cap on interest rates for payday loans, auto title loans, and tax refund anticipation loans to military families. Lenders responded by slightly tweaking the terms of their loans to avoid the limits. Since the law applied to payday loans with terms of 91 days or less and amounts of $2,000 or less, credit companies were able to shrink the rules with 92-day loans or loans of $2,001. I won't read the entire thing, Mr. President. I'll circulate it to members of Council. com) Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 and send another message that this is not right. Now, they're doing it for the average American citizen. Our service men who protect us in foreign countries and at home should not be gouged and put in the position of having to put their families at risk because they have to pay these payday loans back. So I thank you very much and thank you, my colleagues, for listening.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilwoman, for continuing the struggle. The Chair recognizes Councilwoman Blackwell.

Councilwoman Blackwell

Thank you, Mr. President. I too thank Herb, because he and I were talking about Baltimore and what's going on there and how sad it is for our country. Bishop Clifton Daniel, bishop of Pennsylvania, issued a statement just today. I'll only read about two Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 says, "These brutal events are rooted in the elegantly interlocking mechanisms of racism in our nation's inequitable system in the distribution of wealth, power, food, and access. Such inequities lead first to injustice, then growing despair, and ultimately to violence. It does little to address hunger, racism, oppression, and suffering without confronting underlying injustices." And I add historical injustices. And that is what the Bishop said today about the issue. So all of you can look up the entire article and see it. There's also a great article of "Weeping for Baltimore," a statement by Bishop Eugene Taylor Sutton, and one from the Orioles' COO, John Angelos, offers everybody an eye-opening perspective on Baltimore protests. So I invite you all to read those articles. On another matter, I will remind you that at 12:30 today we have Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 Hospital, and they will talk about their violence prevention initiative. They will also talk about the community asthma prevention program, and, finally, in Kenyatta Johnson's district, South Philadelphia Community Health and Literacy Center. So I hope that you will come and have your staff come if you would like with regard to lunch and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's briefing on those areas. Thank you.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilwoman. The Chair recognizes Councilman Johnson.

Councilman Johnson

Thank you, Council President. We will be doing our followup to our very, very successful workshop that we hosted in South Philadelphia last Saturday that focused on individuals who have tangled titles as Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 are back on their taxes and don't want to lose their homes. And so we will be having Part 2 of our tangled title and property taxes workshop tomorrow at Myers Recreation Center located at 58th and Kingsessing, starting at 11 o'clock. We encourage as many people as possible to come out, participate on how, one, you can remain in your home as a homeowner; two, address any issues regarding being back on your taxes; and, three, working with various organizations regarding mortgage foreclosure such as the Sheriff's Department, the Office of Property Assessment, and other various City agencies, with the sole focus on helping individuals stay in their homes. Thank you very much, Mr. President.

Council President Clarke

Thank you, Councilman. Good information. The Chair recognizes Councilman Neilson. Stated Meeting April 30, 2015

Councilman Neilson

Thank you, Mr. President. I have a couple of quick issues. Today we passed a resolution asking the Mayor to respect people's right to vote. Through contract negotiations in the past, it came to the attention as we were out and about in the community and were getting contacted that some of the municipal employees do not have the luxury to go vote. They don't qualify for an absentee ballot because they're not out of county. And it takes them almost an hour to get to their workplace, and with their hours being 8:00 to 8:00, we're just asking the Mayor to be a little flexible with them to make certain that they can exercise their right. Many say that they should just get the absentee ballot. However, if they falsify that affidavit on that absentee ballot, their vote will not be valid at all and they could be challenged and it could affect their employment. Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 Mayor to be a little flexible. It's only twice a year, maybe make those adjustments. Not the day before, but if they start working on now, they could. The second issue I want to bring up is, in our presence today we have a long-term friend of the City of Philadelphia and the legislative body here who has decided to retire, and I want to make certain that Gene Blagmond from the FOP, who works with our offices and the communities throughout the City. I'd just like us to recognize him and ask him to stand so we could all recognize him properly. (Applause.)

Councilman Neilson

Now, I'm quite certain that we'll make sure we get him back to City Council to do the proper recognition, but we didn't have enough information to have that citation prepared for him today and bring him up in front and embarrass him properly. So Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 we will do that in the future. Thank you, Mr. President. I have nothing further.

Council President Clarke

Thank you. And congratulations, Mr. Blagmond. The Chair again recognizes Councilman Johnson.

Councilman Johnson

Thank you, Mr. President, for the second acknowledgment. I stand corrected. The Let Me Help You Save Your Home or Property, Tangled Title, and Property Taxes Workshop will be taking place on Saturday, 11:00 a.m. at Myers Recreation Center. The first time I mentioned I said tomorrow, which is Friday. The workshop is going to take place on Saturday, May 2nd, 11:00 a.m. at Myers Recreation Center. Thank you, Council President.

Council President Clarke

Stated Meeting April 30, 2015 you, Councilman. Good information. That concludes our speeches on behalf of the minority and majority, and the Chair recognizes Councilwoman Reynolds Brown for a motion to adjourn.

Councilwoman Brown
