'Philadelphia is a disaster,' write Charles D. Ellison and Mark Gleason. 'In this time of unprecedented crisis, members of City Council have done what they do best: pat themselves and their friends on the back for a job well done.'
, “Philadelphia City Council introduced over 15,000 bills and resolutions in the last two decades. … All legislation that made it to a floor vote has passed — with just five exceptions.”
We’re also not opposed to the many wonderful, engaged, and concerned people who are the honorees. We want to give thanks to. However, abusing the process does injustice to the people being honored, particularly those who fought or advocated for a better Philadelphia. “The people of Philadelphia really do deserve to see Council grappling with the hard stuff. They deserve leaders who will relentlessly fight for them."This would follow in the wake of recent Council legislation promoting civic literacy and education in Philadelphia’s troubled school system. This would restore the function of honorifics as an education tool.
