The unofficial motto of the City of Philadelphia (PA) is "Greed, Graft, and Corruption". (Do not confuse this with the Republican motto of "I got mine; you get yours").
Today's example in a long list of self-serving officials that operate at the expense of citizens and public institutions:
Why are the members of the budget review commission for the SDoP using chauffered cars (at school district expense) when their mission is to cut costs in a city where classes lack basic materials, including textbooks ? Even stranger: why does the Philadelphia newspaper report this fact as a line item in an article, and never follow up with an investigation ?
The solution ? Maybe one day the city will stop appointing the same old greedy cronies and start populating institutions with adults who have a sense of civic and financial responsibility. Until then, the mayor and city council can stop blabbing about Philadelphia being a "World Class City".
