Our Next Mayor?


Our Next Mayor?
Originally uploaded by ujima.
T. Milton Street Sr., the brother of our present mayor, has declared
that he is running for mayor. Does it matter to him that he doesn't
live in Philadelphia? that he is fighting tax evasion charges in
federal court? that he was arrested for dodging nine old traffic
citations in New jersey (where he lives?)?

Yesterday Mad Milton held a rally at City Hall. He said he wouldn't
run if less than 5000 came out to support him. He was only 4800
people short.

It saddens me that he has become a joke. He *was* a PA state
representative and senator and always was an activist, a
champion of the poor and disenfranchised. Now he has to stand
in the corner with the brothers of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
