Congratulations Mayor-Elect Nutter and new and returning members of City Council. Philadelphia Forward and our Constituency for Change stand ready to work with you to move the city we love in a positive direction.
And Forward goes on to say:
In recent weeks, the media has been filled with accounts of the looming fiscal crisis that Mayor-elect Nutter will inherit when he takes office in January. On newsstands now, Philadelphia Magazine offers an article with a title that blares, "Congratulations, Mayor Nutter: Boy, are you screwed." Citypaper echoed, "Congrats, Mayor Nutter (Now let's show him what he's won...)." However, rumors of the city's fiscal collapse have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, while the city certainly has short- and long-term budget issues to face, the city's fiscal state is enviable, not a crisis.
