“It currently takes 12 to 16 weeks just to get a lockout date after getting a judgement.” Spoke at Philadelphia City Council today about the Safe Healthy Homes bills that were referred back to committee because of Sunshine Act violations… And 30 Turn The Key homes were transmitted… If housing is a priority for Mayor Parker and this Council, fix that broken process before adding new rules on top of it. Hold the Sheriff’s Office accountable. Do not allow CM O’Rourke to mess up the real estate industry in Philadelphia. It will only end up hurting low income renters. Turn the Key is City Council’s program. This Council passed it. The Mayor funded it through NPI and HOME. The Land Bank Board approves qualified projects that meet THEIR criteria. The affordability is set. $280,000 sale price. $185,000 to the buyer after subsidies. Up to 100% AMI. For City workers. That’s the program City Council designed and approved. What’s the outcome? $1,300 a month mortgage. Average AMI is 57%. Turn The Key is working. ZERO DISPLACEMENT. Turning vacant lots into generational wealth. This project meets every requirement. It was qualified. What’s the problem? Philadelphia City Councilmember Quetcy Lozada and COUNCILMANIC PREROGATIVE! Any member of this body could introduce this resolution today. The land is there. The money is allocated. The program exists. The only thing missing is the bill. If you say you care about affordable housing… introduce the bill. And of course I spoke up about funding SEPTA! Ride the ride. Grow Philly to 2 Milly!


Huge: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — Trump's former personal lawyer who was also responsible for Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy club fed — has intervened to block the DEA from providing details of a mysterious Epstein investigation to my Finance Committee team.



30 Turn The Key homes approved by the Land Bank Board via a 6-4 vote for… The 30 Turn The Key homes now goes to Philadelphia City Council to approve… This is good. Approve it.











SECURITY LINES OUT THE DOOR. Americans are now missing their flights because of the Democrats shutdown of DHS. Their political stunt is forcing patriotic TSA officers to work without pay — leading to financial hardship, absences, and crippling staffing shortages. Enough is enough: Democrats must fund DHS NOW.
