Nutter is an arrogant fraud. You pay people what you think they are worth. What actions does he take to show his support for the fire fighters Catherine Lucey? You ended your piece with "Nutter offered his support for the fire fighters". They are just hallow words from an empty suit. Nutter has declared war on the middle class workers of Philadelphia. Will the Unions finally wake up and challenge Don Bob Brady and his Democratic machine who take them for granted because they demonstrate that they will do nothing.— Michael T. Welsh- Hopefully, the conventioneers were aware that the subject of their protest was miles away at yet another out=of=town "conference". This guy spends more time at "conferences" instead of actually governing the City. "Binding arbitration"? Well, kinda, sorta....— feltonville_survivor

Fake News Alert;
Nutter just added the following song to his play list.
I cannot believe that he has thus far
refused to honor our first timers.
He must be a masochist.
And this must be his song.

When he should have added this one
all the day along.

— Redwoodser - Nutter accepts murders in his city yet when arbitrators rule in the firefighters favor he appeals it and hides under a desk. Remember his campaign promise? “We must cut our homicide rate by 30-50% over the next three to five years.” Nutter answered without hesitation that if he didn’t reach that goal, “I shouldn’t be re-elected.”— uandwhosearmy
- Catherine good coverage on the the march but keep it honest, offered support for the work of the firefighters? Did you add that one? One day after this march and your report he showed just how much he supports ffers by appealling the award legally given to the firefighters. Thats the problem i guess, its legal.— Tony126
