Reply to comment by ConfiaEnElProceso in Former Philly Mayor John Street endorses Rebecca Rhynhart by ConfiaEnElProceso

Political corruption is abstract and doesn’t effect people’s day to day life very much. If someone can get the abandoned cars off the streets and sweep them idgaf if their dumbest cousins on payroll.

I respectfully disagree. Our libraries, schools, sanitation, streets are all underfunded in part due to the graft that is part and parcel of Philly politics.

Nah man, the old machines were great. Get you a job, build a subway, might even get you a job building the subway. Now we don’t get any of the patronage, but we still have all the corruption. Sure, a bunch of guys named Mikey O’Donnelly are in city payroll, but if you’ve got a problem you call up your ward leader and Mikey takes care of it
