Philly Mayor Loses Patience with City Council

Drumming for Justice

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney on Friday sent the President of City Council a letter expressing his disappointment in the lack of legislative approvals for his signature initiative, Rebuild. That letter was obtained and made public by journalist Malcolm Burnley, who published it, along with a corresponding article, on PlanPhilly.com. Mr. Burnley chatted with fellow journalist Flood the Drummer about what the letter means, what options the frustrated Mayor has left, and why the City Council appears to be slow-walking the process.
