On her Philadelphia City Council web page, the Honorable Marion B. Tasco is touted "as one of Philadelphia's most influential, politically savvy, and pro-active public officials," in the city and over the next few days Tasco could be proving that claim correct.

 

Catherine Lucy and Chris Brennan of the Philadelphia Daily News point out that on Friday, Tasco will retire from her sixth term as councilwoman, collect $478,057 and be sworn in on Monday to serve her seventh term.

Saw this....got momentarily outraged...then realized that if the schmucks in her district keep electing scumbags like this, they get what they deserve.

 

But yes...more proof that the system is rigged. But why point to actual PEOPLE and take action when you can drum up a boogeyman like "Wall Street."

 

I wonder if this woman will be paying her "fair share" of taxes on this windfall.
