Public Access Television is finally coming to Philadelphia, which no doubt means we can look forward to plenty of culturally rewarding programming.
Our own Jeff Shields has a piece on 225 police promotions now being considered by the Street Administration. The promotions seem routine enough to some observers, especially since they're concentrated in the lower ranks. But Michael Nutter questions the need to do them now, given that Street & Johnson are both on their way out.
Speaking of Nutter, he sounded off on the city's erratic approach to urban planning yesterday. It's a pet issue of Nutter's, and one that figures to loom large in a Nutter administration.
Also, the Inky's Editorial Board cautions against a proposal to reform the city's Inspector General office, which City Council is expected to take up tomorrow.
The Daily News wonders if Taubenberger is too busy making nice with Nutter to run an even modestly effective campaign. The piece quotes Sam Katz: "Sometimes when you're a first-time candidate on a stage of this magnitude, which Al is, it's a little heady. It might cause you to take your eye off the ball." Taubenberger brushed off the criticism.
