Heh... how much is this bailout going to cost the taxpayers?
And yes, since it is Philadelphia, it will cost the taxpayers. It always has, and it always does.

Heh... go live in metro Philadelphia for a little more than a decade and you'll see how things like that work there. I sure do miss the cheesesteaks... but the overt corruption was also fun to watch.

D.A. clears Phila. councilman of ‘illegal’ actions as head of a non-profit
By Jeff Shields and Marcia Gelbart
INQUIRER STAFF WRITERS
District Attorney Lynne M. Abraham cleared City Councilman Curtis Jones Jr. of any "illegal or unethical" activities in his former job as head of a non-profit agency, saying allegations by the city's former Inspector General were made "without any foundation in fact."
Abraham said she investigated accusations against Jones by former Inspector General Seth Williams, a political rival who challenged Abraham unsuccessfully in the 2005 Democratic primary,
In July 2007 Williams sent Abraham a report detailing "possible criminal conduct" by Jones during his 14-year tenure with Philadelphia Commercial Development Corporation, a quasi-public agency focused on economic development.
Williams alleged that Jones mishandled a $700,000 contract for surveillance cameras, received an improper $31,000 severance package, and was improperly allowed use of his company car after leaving PCDC. Abraham said accusations were "without any foundation in fact" and suggested that Williams' very-public investigation of Jones would have been better done without leaks "and saved the reputation of Mr. Jones."
