Michael Nutter wasted no time on issuing his first call as mayor-elect: He's looking for "the brightest and best individuals" to come work for him.
These aren't necessarily paid jobs. And there's a strict screening process (read the FAQ here).
Still, it's a pretty inspiring help-wanted ad, and, as I predicted, it's full of his well-foreshadowed "New Day" theme:
Michael Nutter believes that there is a new feeling in this City; a growing sense that if we all work together, if we expect more of ourselves, if we are dedicated to making Philadelphia better for everyone, we can make our City one of the truly great cities of the world.
Michael is looking for the brightest and best individuals who are committed to rolling-up their sleeves and working for his Administration to bring about the changes that the Citizens of Philadelphia have elected him to make.

Michael? That's Mayor Nutter to you. You have to show the respect that the position already possesses.
People obviously respect him, otherwise he would have never gotten to the point he's in.
It's up to him to keep the respect that those of us already have for him and to earn it from his doubters.

Alex ,
I think he'll bring a sufficient consideration and a supporting treatment to a disabled Philadelphia.

Big Al isn't smiling after last evenings detachment. So where in Michael's Administration is big Al bringing his operative and informational priviledged schedule.

Mayor Nutter already has my respect with the caveat, it is his to lose.
