From the just concluded press conference. This is a no-joke, seriously credentialed trio of women with firsthand experience cleaning up corruption in Philadelphia.
Inspector General: Amy L. Kurland, who has more than 20 years as an assistant U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. She helped take down L&I inspector Frank Antico, corrupt plumbing inspectors and other white collar bad guys.
Chief Integrity Officer (a new position): Joan L. Markman, also of the U.S. Attorney's office, who took down former City Treasurer Corey Kemp.
Ethics Board nominee: Kenya Mann, of Ballard Spahr, formerly of the U.S. Attorney's office. She sent former City Councilman Rick Mariano to prison.
Update: Corrected Kurland's prosecutions. She was not counsel on the Corey Kemp case as originally reported. That job fell to Markman.
