 | | Video from Wednesday's action | We had a great time out there on Wednesday! Take a look at the CBS 3 news story from the event, and join us Thursday at 1:00 PM in Dilworth Plaza on the west side of city hall as we continue to show our support for Mayor Nutter's efforts to right the casino wrong.

Rendell, we "shouldn't get too excited" about his efforts to get the casinos to move from the proposed riverfront locations. He says he can't force the casinos to move. But, isn't it the job of government to fix fatally flawed laws? Sorry Ed, we’ve caught on. If you really want to stand up to special interest groups and look out for the public like the governor you are, don't ask the casinos to move, tell them!
| | | | | Site Reclamation Training Success | Saturday’s site reclamation training was not only informative, but fun too!
