The mayor-elect right now is standing outside the Criminal Justice Center, where he is expected to name his pick to fill a vacancy on the Philadelphia Board of Ethics.
How interesting, then, that Mayor Street advised City Council this morning that he would also be appointing someone, Damon Jones, to fill that vacancy. (It was created about a month or two ago when Pauline Abernathy resigned from the ethics board to join Nutter's campaign team.)
The mayor - whoever it is - is the appointing authority, but City Council must vote on that choice within 60 days. Otherwise, the appointee at that time becomes a full-fledged board member.
Do the math: Sixty days from today is well past Jan. 7, when Mayor Street will no longer be in office.
How interesting.
