Hah!  Jannie support an ethics bill?
One of my favorite examples of Jannie's ethics was apparent when bill 629 
came up for consideration, and the UCCC took the extraordinary step of 
inviting the general public, along with Blackwell, to hear public opinion 
on it.  At the end there was a general vote.  The only person to vote in 
favor of the billboards was the lawyer representing the billboard 
companies (the real sponsor of the bill).  At least 75 people were 
opposed.  Jannie knew that a lot of people there were representatives from 
local community groups, so each no vote represented a larger opinion.

Jannie voted in favor of the bill anyway.  John Street, in one of his few 
useful actions as mayor, vetoed it.  Kind of funny, eh?

Today William H. Magill wrote:
Council has apparently completely exempted themselves from any consideration 
of ethics.

According to the Inquirer yesterday, they, along with the Chamber of 
Commerce, NAACP and all the other "power borkers" in the city are of the 
opinion that Pay to Play is not only customary and proper, but the 
inalienable right of every City politician.

So, where does Jannie stand on Michael Nutter's Ethics Bill ... did she 
support the original bill?

Hey - does anyone have the full number of that ethics bill, or the date it
was discussed in Council?  I keep track of all these for my Department, and
for the life of me - I cannot find it on my list.  Any further info about
that bill (discussed in the messages below) would be useful and much
appreciated.  Thanks.

Dear Monique:

You should probably go to Hallwatch.org where you can get the full text of
most bills.  I think that there are several versions of the ethics bill.

You can visit:

http://www.hallwatch.org/councilnotices/bills/search

and input "ethics" in the "bill title" box.

The main site is:

http://www.hallwatch.org/

I hope that this is helpful.

Sincerely,

Matt
