On September 14th, the Philadelphia City Council passed an ordinance to prohibit supervised drug consumption sites across most of the city. Outgoing Mayor Jim Kenney is appalled! Mayor Jim Kenney is vetoing a bill that prohibits supervised injection sites in most of the city Kenney’s move sends the bill back to City Council, which is […]
A man with whom I worked in 1987-88, who owned his own plumbing company, once told me how he made so much money. It was because he was willing to stick his hands into other people’s [insert slang term for feces here]. My 5’0″ tall wife used to be a nursing assistant, and is now […]
