HALL MONITOR: Porno flicks, CQS and the Promoters Bill
We go to City Council meetings so you don't have to.
Guess what a Philadelphia chromosome is?
One that's entirely screwed up, of course! More specifically, according to wisegeek.com, it's "a chromosomal abnormality which can lead to leukemia" — which was discovered at the University of Pennsylvania in 1960, thus paving for the way for new and unprecedented treatment of leukemia.
What does this have to do with City Council, you're wondering? It passed a resolution this morning to make September 28 "Philadelphia Chromosome Day." Cute, right?
But onto more important stuff (which, for the record, took place after both Councilpersons Brian O'Neill and Bill Green peaced out, for what O'Neill called "urgent city business"):
— Council passed a resolution objecting to the expansion of the Forum Theater, a place where you can watch porno flicks (with friends!) on 22nd and Market streets. The idea, said Councilman Darrell Clarke, is that a bigger sleaze theater kind of messes with the planned betterment of that neighborhood.
— Bill 100360, which would (finally) abolish the Office of the Clerk of Quarter Sessions, is moving right along. It was placed on the calendar for second reading and final passage next Thursday.
— Remember the Promoters Bill 100267-A we told you about earlier this year? (Which was pretty terrible at first, but then admittedly got better?) Because of a few minor issues that needed to be cleared up, it's been sitting on Mayor Nutter's desk for a signature since June 17. Council passed a resolution asking Nutter to take a second look at it, pretty please, and Councilman Bill Greenlee says he has "no reason to believe" Nutter won't now sign it into law.
