He may have been as crooked as Mayor Daley the elder in Chicago, but during the 1970's and 80's Philadelphia, as dirty as it was, was a lot cleaner and under control than it is today.
Back then one of the big stories was the follies of Milton Street (brother of the current mayor) and his weatherization fund scandal. That was a project during the Ford or Carter administrations to provide federal funds to the poor in the inner cities to weather proof their dwellings against the ravages of global cooling which was the panic crisis of the time back in those days.
Oh yeah, I just CAN'T imagine that scheme being abused! LMAO!
Liberals love taking advantage of the same stupid people they purport to help.
