Street talk

Official stories today after mayor Street's address to City Council appear not much different from those posted yesterday morning. [Inquirer, Daily News] New here is the response of councilmembers, who appreciated the shift in tone from stick to carrot. Also new, and a bit surprising to me, is that a related DN opinion piece not only applauds the budget, but appears to think that rolling back a planned tax credit for the poor counts as brave. Yeah, because screwing the poor is something we rarely have the courage to do.
