Dwight evans isnt afraid of the gun lobby. Hell stand up to the special interests and join me in fighting to improve our city block by block. Harold, surprised to see kenney take sides here . Only the timing, because of when had happened with congressman fattah with his son being sentenced. I was surprised that the timing came as it did. But certainly, kenney had supported evans, evans has been a supporter of kenney, so its no surprise. Chaka fattah is very vulnerable. Hes gonna have a tough road being reelected, so only the timing surprised me. What do you think, guys . And obviously, we know the history with fattah supporting anthony williams, who ran for mayor and didnt do so well. This is hardly news. Right. I think it was expected that mayor kenney would endorse dwight evans. And it came and i agree with harold that the timing, perhaps, is probably the only asterisk on the endorsement. But otherwise, hardly news. And people dont think about the timing. Theyre gonna do what they wa

Whether the tax, in fact, will be passed along to consumers. Thats a doublewhammy for folks if in fact they have to pay for it. What do you think, sam . Well, this is a very complicated story because its not just about the tax, its what the mayor wants to do with the tax. The Prek Initiative that was part of his Mayoral Campaign is meritorious in every way except implementation. And there are stories that are coming out now about the number of highquality what are called seats in Early Childhood education. This is a plan thats being rolled out as we speak. It hasnt been put together. Were talking about a School District thats in serious financial as well as operating stress. So theres a lot going on here. Plus, the rec centers and the bond issue. To kenneys credit and i give him credit he laid out his vision and hes put a plan together to try to execute on it. But little by little, theres been cuts of 1,000 little nicks.

Its really on all kinds of sweetened beverages fruit juice, iced tea, energy drinks, you name it. If its got sugar in it, 3centsanounce tax. So, were starting to see some of the pushback against it, the teamsters having an oped today, saying, its a regressive tax. Heres why were against it. Yet last weekend, we saw the mayor have a sitdown with people in the beverage industry, powerful forces, and a person that is known well in union circles, John Dougherty, was part of that meeting and seeming to be on the mayors side. How do we read this when were told unions could be against it but then you have John Dougherty . How do all of these pieces come in to play . What does it mean for the prospects of what the mayors trying to do . Well, theres a difference between John Dougherty and the teamsters, right . The teamsters made the wrong bet. This is politics 101, right . The teamsters were on the wrong side of the convention center, as jim kenney would see it, and they were on the wrong side

Rain may be not quite as widespread nor as inanes most spots but we have rain in southeastern pennsylvania, a little bit towards trenton and a couple sprinkles down through the heart of south jersey. Cape may getting hit with a temporary heavier about the of rain and then every now and then you see some yellows mixed in in Chester County and areas close to philadelphia a little bit more of a broken pattern up north but cloudy cool and damp and obviously the clouds really socking us in.
