There is an article in today's Inquirer showing how negligent Nutter has been when it comes to collecting taxes. This is the mayor who abandoned the schools, while posing as an anti-gun advocate on national television. The PFT threw their support behind this clown and better send a strong warning to the Democrat machine - if you don't get us a fair contract then we are sitting the next one out.
