Thanks to our friends at Hallwatch.org, who are watching those folks down at City Hall, the text of a bill recently introduced and sponsored by the entire City Council is available online. It proposes to give tax credits to employers who hire prisoners released from Philadelphia prisons. This is the link thanks to Ed Goppelt. We would hope it would give some incentive to some of our Frankford citizens who have serve time to stay out of jail.

Shooting on Saul Street
I just found this one on Philly.com about a shooting on Friday the 19th
Shortly before 10 a.m. Friday, a 25-year-old man was shot once in the right temple on Saul Street near Oxford in the Frankford section. He remained in critical condition at Hahnemann University Hospital.
And here is a link to the more recent story at the Northeast Times.
Poll of the month
A new poll has been posted over to the right. Who do you want to be the next mayor of Philadelphia. Feel free to weigh in with your opinion.
Last month’s poll “Will the sale of the Third Federal building to NET be good for Frankford?” has been retired. For the record the results were:
- Yes – 50%
- No – 24%
- Will make no difference – 26%
