If they closed the DN, they would absorb the all the city hall beat reporters into the Ink. But now is the time to shine, folks. That means that I wouldn't wait for the breaking press release from City Hall first. Top stories that will influence the budget debate in city hall are 1. corruption and the official response 2. uncollected revenue like the half billion in overdue property taxes and the $1 billion in forfeit bail and what exactly Nutter is doing to fix it 3. fixing obviously broken, illegal systems like the BRT with AVI, the Dept. of Revenue, the Sheriff.— CleanupPhilly
