District Attorney’s across the nation prosecute environmental crime, but this is Philadelphia. Philadelphia’s political history is always the same. Mob rule. That’s right. I said Mob Rule. These days they call the mob Democrats. They’ve been running the city for fifty years. The city is trash. Murder. Corrupt police force. The City Council’s main focus is real estate deals and their own pocket book and pandering to the money.
My neighborhood has been under siege from the development of a chemically laced site, yet the city has done everything in its power to cover it up . City Council doesn’t have the time to make sure kids and regular folks aren’t getting poisoned but they do have the time to visit the open house of a multi-multi million dollar luxury condo at super blue blood Rittenhouse Square. It was probably catered.
Don’t get me wrong. I have always voted Democrat. It’s ingrained in my blood like mother’s milk, but I swear I will vote for a Republican in the next Philadelphia District Attorney’s race. These diaries are going to tell of the democratic political corruption here in Philadelphia. I already let the politicians know that I have all the evidence stashed with people across country so if anything happens to me at least my heirs can sell the story to the movies.
The study and discovery of Philadelphia corruption is a learning curve for me, but there is definite pattern emerging. In some eras, it was the evil Republicans. Then there was the Gowen and the Reading Railroad monopoly. Today, Seth Williams who served under Mayor Street as Inspector General won the powerful DA position in the Democratic primary. The Inspector General is suppose to bust up municipal crime. Excuse me! Cough. Cough.
Municipal corruption in the former Mayor Street regime was akin to the sins of Georgie Bush. (okay, okay nothing compares to W ) Now our DA can protect municipal criminals even better than he did when he was Inspector General. Future diaries will reveal this slippery (probable future) Philly DA & friends and the cover up I call Toxic Real Estate Gate and other tales of Philly infamy.
