From today's Inquirer:
Councilwoman Marian Tasco, a ward leader who is backing Evans, said she signed on as a cosponsor because the city needs a "conversation" about flaws in the 2003 limits.
"We were responding to 'pay-to-play' and the pressure of the media" following the City Hall corruption probe, Tasco said. "I actually didn't pay any attention to the bill."
Does this anyone else reminded of the scene from Fahrenheit 9/11 where Michael Moore asked whether our elected representatives in Congress actually read the entire USA PATRIOT Act and Representative Conyers replied:
Sit down son, we don't actually read most of the bills.
