Mayor Nutter is headed out of town again, this time to Kentucky where he will be the keynote speaker tomorrow during a luncheon attended by other mayors.

The event is hosted by the Louisville Leadership Center, a development and civic engagement organization, along with Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson.

From the web site about the event:

"Mayor Abramson has become good friends with Mayor Nutter over the past few months while they both have been involved with the Obama Administration’s meetings with mayors from major cities. Mayor Nutter’s visit is an opportunity for Louisville leaders to understand how other cities are handling the availability of federal stimulus funds. Nutter is also leading Philadelphia through a major budget crisis and is focusing on green initiatives despite the challenges the city is facing. The visit from Mayor Nutter provides timely and relevant learning opportunities for local leaders."

    Nutter needs to worry about Philly first, because he's messing up badly enough to not have to worry about his contacts at the national level. Cutting police in Philly is like committing suicide when there is a corrupt machine that is off limits. Tell the mayors that Philly is owed $425 million in overdue property taxes owed for more than a year, to several years, that the city won't sheriff sale. They'll think he's going to end up with Fumo in club fed.

    We are raising job killing sales taxes to a rate that will be higher than the surrounding regions, and that will be just like the wage tax. Come on people. There's just no way Pileggi can let Nutter raise sales taxes. Just let the PA Senate know. Click on the upper right hand corner, enter your zip code, and tell them that Philly sales taxes are high enough: http://www.pasen.gov/

    I have a feeling this CleanupPhilly person is some sort of Republican/Right Wing plant. He seems to have no time on his hands put to post little rants about how corrupt and empty Democratic administrations are. Would someone put a muzzle on this guy every now and then?
