Group Sues to Get Marge Tartaglione Off Ballot

As expected, a petition challenge has been filed against City Commissioner Marge Tartaglione. Here's a press release from the group:

****** MEDIA ADVISORY ******

What: The Citizens of Philadelphia Collection Agency Press Conference. The group has filed a petition challenge against City Commissioner Marge Tartaglione's right to be on the ballot. Despite making an irrevocable commitment to retire upon receiving her DROP payment, Tartaglione fleeced the citizens of Philadelphia by leaving office for one day to cash in on her $308,625 DROP payment and then returning to office after a long weekend. Tartaglione was the first elected official to start this wave of greed.

Where: Philadelphia's City Hall. The group will start outside the doors of City Commissioner Marge Tartaglione and proceed to deliver a bill to her office demanding she drop out of the race for City Commissioner or give the public their money back.

When: 3/16/11 (Tomorrow) Wednesday - 9:00am - 9:30am

Contact: Several petitioners are named in the petition challenge to Commissioner Tartaglione, but please go through the petitioners' attorney and spokesman Joseph Doherty. Information listed above.
