Councilman W. Wilson Goode Jr.

Check out this video of Councilman W. Wilson Goode Jr. and Fox 29 reporter Claudia Gomez that aired tonight. Things got a tad physical as Gomez tried to interview Goode about City Hall employee Latrice Bryant, who the station videotaped allegedly engaged in personal business during working hours.

    I think the Councilman & his aide are fuming because they both got busted. Exactly, What is her job, $90,000 a year? I viewed the footage, the clothes that she wears to work are inappropriate.Councilman Goode should stop making excuses for Ms. Bryant. She also should be fired for lying about her time. As a public servant, she should've used better judgment. Fox 29 is known for busting people & their wrongdoings & shortcomings.

    Ok I am tired of the run around no one can fire this woman? Not the Mayor or no Council, wow she is good 90k and untouchable. I need a short skirt and blonde braids!

    I think it's his girlfriend. Of course Goode denied it. Those short skirts are keeping him silly. But to spend 90k of taxpapyer money is criminal. Goode thinks he's entitled to his position because of his last name. What type of city projects do you think they are working on? NONE! It's the same old people over and over again. We need CHANGE!

    I thought I heard only the city controller can launch investigation into how much money these two are wasting. His name and number ALAN BUTKOVITZ 215-686-6680. We must stop the waste. Call please.

    If this story was about a white member of city council, the Rev Sharpton and Mr. Jessee Jackson would be in town today.. BUT there are 2 standards in Philly and now you can see them on Fox 29

    I've just called Goodes office (215) 686-3414 (absolutley useless), Anna Verna'a office (215)686-3412 (nothng she can do, contact Goode's office) and lastly Alan Butkovitz office (he's in a meeting and will return my call, yeah right) Feel like I'm getting a royal screwing. At least Bryant get's paid when Goodie screws her!!

    This saga between FOX29 and Wilson Goode, Jr. is the gift that just keeps on giving. First the whole Latrice Bryant's homeade KKK sign drama, then Dolemite shows up and starts crashing into a FOX29 reporter. (Video well worth watching. It's amazing.) We cannot wait to see what happens next. It is times like this that I really, really love this city. (Amazing Latrice photo from Philebrity who took it from Latrice's Myspace page.)
