Mayor-elect Michael Nutter has announced plans for his inaugural that, for once, will not break the bank: Only one event costs anything, and that costs only $50.
The actual swearing-in is Jan. 7; there's also an interfaith prayer service planned for Jan. 3.
The Daily News story on the events is here. Or read Nutter's press release here.

It's nice to have a mayor with middle class values that the rest of us live by.

How refreshing to not have a mayor whose every task has something to do with a shakedown.
Perhaps now we have a mayor who is not going to buy the African Socialist argument that the solution to crime is to stop building prisons, stop serving warrants effectively, and to let people who commit crimes out of jail:

and thank GOD the paper is starting to look at cities who are doing things that work:

"Granted, Philadelphia's violent crime is down 8 percent in 2007 from last year. But on a per-capita basis, the city's crime rate remains extremely high when compared to other big cities. The Big Apple, for example, is on pace to end 2007 with its fewest murders in more than 40 years."
from the editorial link above.
Because NYC's mayors don't romanticize crime and criminals through the pink prism of the Uhuru movement.
