Default We asked for this sub-forum...

...so are we going to use it?

I think in about any other metro sub-forum on city-data, if the Mayor were accused by two former spokes-people of being a homophobic anti-Semite and of fearing for their physical safety, and the city solicitor quit too, while the entire city is going bankrupt with the possibility of serious disruption to the county as well, folks might be talking about it!

Sounds interesting - here's a link Is Harrisburg’s Mayor Homophobic? | GPhilly
Quote:
She’s known for her fits of temper, says the Patriot-News. But Linda Thompson – the city’s first African-American mayor of Harrisburg – is now being called homophobic thanks to statements allegedly made to staffer Chuck Ardo. Before working for Thomson, Ardo was a spokesperson for former Gov. Ed Rendell. He has since resigned his post at City Hall.
