Up a 1 billiondollar deficit over the next handful of years i think we do better job having us here in the city of philadelphia then commonwealth taking responsibility. There is money there. Reporter mayor kenney this month announced plan that would bring about demise of the School Reform commission, and nine people would be appointed by him following a recommendation and approval process.
