Its a story weve been on to have of since it broke last week. Bruce gordon is live outside the das office. Bruce, the office has not been so responsive to our requests for an interview. Reporter well, you could say theyve been responsive. Its just the response has been no comment. Actually, Seth Williams has reached out to sort of explain himself through certain groups. His employees and those hes identified as supporters of his 2017 reelection bid. As for the rest of us, were still waiting. Turns out there are perks of being elected philadelphia District Attorney above and beyond the 175,000 a year salary. Just ask Seth Williams who just this month be latedly reported receiving 160 grand in sport tickets, free stays at the vacation homes, even a 45,000 roof repair to his home offered gratis by a south jersey build. Philadelphians we talked to are not happy about the das never ending christmas morning. I dont believe its right at all. You work hard for your money, make good money. Why dont you just build a man. Just the wrong thing. You know youre getting it for a certain reason. Not just because they like you. Why did he deserve individual gifts . What makes him so special . Reporter williams normally no stranger to tv cameras has said thanks gut no thanks to our repeated requests for interview about the gifts hes apologized to his staff for the distractions the story has caused and on monday, emailed supporters of his 2017 reelection bid to say he noes hes responsible for disclosing the gifts and that he takes full responsibility for failing to do so. But what about all philly taxpayers . Dont they deserve an explanation . Committee of 70 president david thon burg. Youve got to give transparent see.

Without there being some sort of access implied or some sort of special favors. Reporter to put these gifts in context, i did the math. So you dont have to. 160,000 in gifts over six years. Well, that equals a gift received worth 73 each and every single day that Seth Williams has been in office. Including weekends. Iain and lucy, not a bad gig. Not a bad gig at all. Bruce, thank you.
