[@PBE86]

I hope she IS NOT soft on Philly crime & other Philly problems I give her until september 2024.

[@ronnielister1023]

She will be and that's the problem with black ppl in position of power ,, every city that has a black person in position of power are shitholes ., let me name a couple PHILLY,, DC,, ATL,, NY,, BMORE, DETROIT, LA, CHI , MEMPHIS basically the whole south ,,, so she will won't be any better and ppl will get their panties in a bunch over what I just said but it's facts just look at them cities that I named and I left a lot more out

[@mustafax777]

Moneybags huh

[@johnflo-grif2639]

Let’s go Killadelphia!

[@melindatarnow5713]

What with all the women mayors? I havent seen any worth their weight, like the recent Boston mayer, or the thug mayor in Dalton, Illinois. Please... Prove me wrong, new mayor.

[@LogicMind99]

Yeah and I’m sure the individuals who don’t have higher education who work hard to achieve that level education are going to get the shaft when according to Madam Mayor Parker’s plan to remove barriers for city employment in public positions that ordinarily would require such higher education for individuals who probably barely got through high school. I don’t know which public positions those consist of but I can tell you that what that message pretty much tells the resident of Philadelphia is that potentially more uneducated individuals are going to be in mid level positions with the basic minimum amount of education. You would think as a former teacher should be encourage higher education, not giving individuals a free pass to the next grade metaphorically speaking

[@user-do3ng3mn7o]

Wow what is happening to Philadelphia. It’s already a mess.

[@MCSSFamily]

Im sure she'll do absolutely nothing as usual... Eyes rolled with the stupid poem

[@RobinatorsPlace]

failure keeps recycling

[@Philadelphiamalayale]

Whapping 222 views in one hour!!!

[@LogicMind99]

And that really shows how much the city cares about their new mayor.

[@leonnoblesnobles6675]

End sanctuary city status.
