Tom Knox will officially announce his candidacy at noon Thursday, the former UnitedHealthcare CEO said tonight:
"I will be announcing in front of the Tastykake factory on Roberts Avenue, located between Henry Ave. and Fox Road. The factory is just down the hill from the Abbotsford public housing complex, where I was born and lived for 14 years.
Please join my family and friends for food and music as we celebrate taking the first steps toward reforming our great city. The days of government for the governing must end. We deserve a city government that is as great as our people. Together we can change Philadelphia and move in a new direction. Together, we can make Philadelphia our next great city."
Hey! I was wrong about who announces next! I said Saidel -- though doesn't opening a campaign headquarters really count?

Seems like a nice guy. However, nice guys finish last on the Philly political scene. Mike Nutter is quickly finding that out. The only hope for nice guys like Knox, Nutter and Dwight Evans is for the feds to rid the city of the blood-sucking politicans like Mayor Street, Carol Campbell, Bob Brady, Johnny Doc, Vince and the rest.
The feds got the wrong brother!
