This week's Fattah rumblings

Speculation about US Rep. Chaka Fattah's prospects for Philadelphia mayoralty (see previous, e.g., here) continue steaming along. Two current stories:

1. An Inquirer piece looks at current Mayor John Street's shows of support and catalogs other evidence from the trail.
   
   
2. Meanwhile, a short piece notes that one of Fattah's signature programs, Gear Up, which helps low-income students become prepared for college, has produced no funds for his own hometown in the last round of grants.
