Given their friendship he accepted the position, else he would still be with Tony Payton.

Councilwoman Sanchez ran as a progressive like Payton right? Payton supported her right? Apparently her being a true progressive is false. You can't lump someone into one group and take jabs at them for it and not the other. Either you are a good elected official or you are not. It apparently doesn't matter if you are labeled "progressive" or from the "establishment". Officials from both can do a great job or fail miserably. Also, I agree that the attacks on Payton you linked here are extremely harsh but as I read the posts on Philly Blog he wasn't completely innocent either. Let be fair.

Payton's previous chief of staff resigned. Hopefully the position will soon be filled without any interruption to the good job Rep. Payton is doing in the State House.

But I guess that's all a matter of interpretation. I don’t know if Molly’s mocking Payton so much as having a little fun with him. But I guess that’s all a matter of interpretation.

It was a sad day for Frankford when he lost to Quinones-Sanchez. Even the late great Peggy Hoch of the East Frankford Civic switched from Republican to Democrat just to be able to vote for him in the primary. That woman is ignoring Frankford and chasing the development money down in Kensington.

I could not agree with you more. Maria is a real disappointment and has done NOTHING for Frankford. Thanks for keeping it real. I could not agree with you more.
