And across the country. President obama has asked the Philadelphia Police commissioner, Charles Ramsey to head the task force on 21st Century Policing to seek ways to build trust between police and minorities communities while at the same time reducing crime. So much to talk about, i think i want to start by can asking thir maybe interject. Police need to be able to tell their families they will come home at night safe. They need to protect themselves, right . At the same time citizens need to feel they are not going to be wrongfully abused or killed by police. Two very simple suggestions here, how do you balance that . Its hard to reconcile, the 180degree difference of point of view between the black community and the White Community in the United States. Theres a variation in the historic problem in the United States its been going on for centuries. The one thing i think we know is that these cameras are not the solution. I mean thats what the case in new york shows this is something they are testing in philadelphia. They are testing the video cameras. But in new york you had a clear video of what happened and that was not the magic bullet, that did not get everyone to agree, well we know what happened, we still dont know what happened. My own view is the real solution is jobs, good jobs, and if we had more good jobs with better pay including for Police Officers, i think we would mitigate to a considerable degree what we dont have is an administration committed to more jobs better paying jobs, thats the solution, theres a new jobs report out this weekend that said we added 300,000 jobs, they are parttime jobs, theres been stagnant wages for years now. Under employment. Thats the problem. Its all about economics, and the a little boy said that in ferguson, its about jobs here. We have to be honest about that. The other thing is the lack of trust as far as blacks trusting white policemen in particular, all you see all over the country, 12yearold being killed, they are reacting, what kind of of training are they getting do we need to train them better, those kind of things need to happen. People have to understand what a grand jury is. People are not clear what it is. With were they the pundits for the prosecutors, we have to get the right information out not 100 different stories. Another aspect this is not the first series of instances, but were going to do something about it this time and my business and your business, is this a teaching moment well finally getting together, its about jobs, but its about education. I said that. Reporter far too many dropouts, far too much underemployment and unemployment in the africanamerican community, dysfunctional families, all this needs to be addressed 23409 just by the africanamerican community, but by the White Community working together. This is not new, but it changed, you alluded to it, jan, video, which is more prevalent. And cheaper. And social media. Where everyone is citizen journalist. What i like and disagree a little bit with jan on, one thing we can do, is transparency, im in favor of the cameras in this case obviously in new york, it didnt seem to play out, because the grand jury is secret we dont know whats going on we dont know if the prosecutor is buddies with the police, at least theres evidence that exists and i like the fact and i am happy that were doing a Pilot Program in philadelphia, commissioner ramsey and obama recognized that he should lead in this to show 21st Century Policing shootings can go go down in philadelphia with homicide in particular. County police force and other First Responders, reflect the demographics of the citizenry they represent which was not the case in ferguson. Remember early on in commissioner ramseys tend owe tenure were losing Police Officers by the month. At what also a horrible time. You have that in the back of your mind when youre trying to protect the community you can get killed for this, okay. At the same time you have ramsey doing this task force, where the Philadelphia Police department has been criticized for the amount of time it shoots citizens, in 2012, thats the only stats i could gather two years ago, 52 people were shot by police in philadelphia. And 15 of them died. So, again, you have two things literally budget heads here its butting heads here, do you think ramsey is a good choice when you have that kind of history. Absolutely. It was bad, he is working through it. , the police are getting a better education, they are pan irk, they are human also, when you panic, you do things sometimes that are not correct. We have to work through situations. You have to do psychologic things and theres a lot things involved in the process. We have to stop talking about this when theres a crisis. We have to do this on going. You have to communicate with both parties not just african americans, the latinos and the minorities in particular. We have to do something about it, and were not. Were waiting until theres a crisis. Start now. You start the the conversation on your topic with this, these are police men and women who go open home at night and have their own families. You need to provide the support when youre in the medical field. Theres no more stressful occupation out there, they deal with addiction problem, we have First RespondersAddiction Treatment programs, they take the cops its so secret because nobody wants to admit they have the problem. Theres excuse for the actions especially in long island that these folks its still such a small, one is too many, its a such a small number, most cops, firefighters, are good people doing great work. We have to support them and give them the resource they need. On the camp atus, the dye the diein thats happening across the country. This is the basic topic across the United States. I come back to the fact at the root of all our stress in america is jobs. I grew up in the 50s in the detroit suburbs where a working class person could work in an auto factor and make enough money to support a family, buy their own home and buy their cars and have a cabin in Northern Michigan to hang out during the summer. You didnt have to have a high school diploma, lots of a can americans moved up from the south and got the jobs, it was possible to have a middle class life. That was gone. You dont have a middle class any more. Weve had off shoring and automation and technology that eliminated tons of jobs, we need to talk about that problem, one thing we dont do, i hate to bring immigration into everything, you dont add five million illegals to the job market and say, you know, were going to provide them with jobs, but were not going to worry about the people who are here. Thats the problem. You got to go back and educate. Terry said you got to educate folks in order to get the job. Lets talk about bill cosby, he is taking action, is one of the claims cosby assaulted somebody when she was 15. She is suing, cosby is counter suing saying she is trying to extort him. Cosby resign as one of temples board of trustees, when do we take the claims as a whole saying cosby has not been charged. The case in california, most of the charges have had to expire through statue of limitations. Him this one is different, this occurred when the alleged victim was a minor. California has a law which says, stacht statute of limitation doesnt run. This is an unusual case, cosby has to take this seriously. Its made, lets face it a super hero to so many people for so many years a pariah, rightly or wrongly without a day in court. Without getting into whether theres substance to it, we were talking before, there are 20 up to 20 accusers, i mean is that a coincidence . Jill scott philadelphia native great singer she defended bill cosby on twitter. She said on twitter. Jill scott, so they have proven the alleged allegations, i didnt know, will they be giving back the millions he donated. Later she tweets, do you know bill cosby, i do child and this is insane, proof period. I think she is on target, the navy took something away from him, its one thing after the other, when do we say this happened im with jill and whoopie 100 . You would discount the fact you have this massive amount . No, this guy was a giant he donated the money to africanamerican museum and his art collection, now you have people discrediting him. If it happened its trial by public opinion. He is done in the court of public opinion. And jan, youre much brighter than i am on this subject, you almost wish in this case, the statute of limitation is killing it. It reminds and i hate to compare, because its not fair, bring down the torch on joe joe paterno or sandusky. You want people to have their day in court. I couldnt agree more. Cosby and the accuser. Cosby has been a friend of Temple University and he has done a great thing by stepping down from the board, otherwise temple would be in the firing line. Damned if they do, damned if they dont. They will be criticized no matter what they did. Comement on this, the comment on this, the reality check the budget is a mess, the state has 2 billion deficit. Its 29 billion budget. The tax revenues are on the incline. 100 million. Is wolf more handicapped in terms of what he can do. What we had last week in South Central pennsylvania was dueling press conferences in all my years of covering politics, with the outgoing administration, the budget sect says we inherited a mess and were leaving this state in better shape. One of governorelect wolf and josh shapiro is on the Transition Team he said whoa whoa whoa youre leaving it in worse shape. Governor elect wolf wants to say im inheriting a serious problem, were going to have to raise revenue in preparation for an agenda in which he is going to call for revenue, probably marcellus shale. Tax increasing will be bigger than he thought. He with dont know that yet, well find out the first tuesday in march when he delivers the budget message. This is all about saying im inheriting a serious problem. Corbett did this. Governor wolf made it no secret he was going after revenue. Now he has the mandate. He has a republican legislature,. More conservative than it was. Will wolf this is the question, because he hadnt shown his cards talk about pension reform. He doesnt talk. Liquor privatization . No. Budgets shift their suspenses out into the future and take revenue, those are accounting games. Well be right back. Well wait and see what happens. A new England Power Company tells the city of philadelphia, you know what, forget it, uie holdings of connecticut will no longer seek to buy the gas works. Mayor nutter structured a deal and supported it and worked on it and the Security Council said were not holding a public hearing here. Did the city lose the opportunity . Reporter i think so so, the thing thats most disappointing im not trying to pick sides, but in the sense of the politics they didnt get their day in court, quote unquote which is a hearing. Were talking about it being the next energy hub well never know. The thing that is troubling, not only not doing the deal, what do outsiders important stakeholders the state public utility commission, which is what they think of our schools. Saying were not going to help them. How do people see philadelphia in general . Especially out west . You look at the legislators, everything is out west, we are not doing what we need to do. Our deteriorating infrastructure in america is a national problem, now theres costs that will have to be absorbed by the taxpayers of facility because we have infrastructure problems here right here. This is an opportunity to unload them on private investors, they would raise rates in the future, but its politically easier for the investors to do that, than the city which is caught in the political knot. As a nonphiladelphian, im not going to do this praise of ed rendell. Too late. This was a period in recent philadelphia history where philadelphia was everywhere, the buzz word come to philly, come to the restaurants, the hotels, do the historical sites, he married the suburbs to the city. Where is that excitement . Where is that business is coming downtown, where ises what we saw in the 90s, you alluded to that, it all seems to be missing now for maybe a variety of reasons. Politics. The democrats, there couldnt be more acrimony between Council President clark and mayor nutter. When you read the dueling press releases its about politics not substance. Its about the personalities, its about them and not the people. Theres always stakeholders who wants thing and stay just as they are and want nothing to change. Thats why we cant get rid of the liquor stores. Its about 9 people and the personalities and what they want and dont want. Darrell clark wanted to protect city jobs and residents from gas fees and prices can you see his side and see infrastructure is going to impose enormous cost on someone, who is that going to be . A private investors so we recoup it through higher rates or a direct cost to taxpayers. Its a whole Different Things it was like the process, it was how councilman Darrell Clark found out. E got a call from someone saying we want to talk to you because were buying buying your gas all and that. Youre in charge and somebody is coming to you and nobody is communicating to you, thats going to make me angry. Is it personal . Its all about the personality. Its all person not for philadelphia . The way the process started was not a good thing. But you like to be sunshine. Which in other words the opportunity for city council, as well, everybody gets a shot, ual, others get to be in a room and have a vote not were going to shut it down. Everybody has to buy in, but be on the same page. If i want you to buy i have to go to you, you, you and you, you cant do it by yourself it has to be a team. It has to be a team process. Lets did you talk about the sixers. The timber wolves which are almost as bad as the sixers, they went 117. They are open about their plan, were not going to be good and later on well be good. Him does it bother any of you to the extent 24er tanking and to the extent they are tanking and pretty much the entire nation knows about it. You knew this was a bad deal when 16 seconds into the game they have restart it, because the teams were facing the wrong baskets. [laughter]. Philadelphia 76ers shoot under 40 against the worse defense in the league. I dont know what that has to do with management two points, first of all, you have to feel for the players, they are stars in high school and college and they have had tremendous success in basketball and now they are with the sixers and having a terrible year. Talking about management their plan is a terrible plan, maybe well get the income one pick. Even with the worst record they may not get the number one pick. Getting a labron james is a rare thing it doesnt happen every year or a couple of years. They may get their number one pick and find theres no one out there worth it. They are doing it on purpose, but its just a bad idea. Ive got two names sean bradley and roy henson. I debris its perverse. The problem they are fans, important stakeholder, the fans are turned off. The tickets are 10 bucks. You have to get the fans back once you have a competitive product. They may not come back, can anyone name three players here . Michael carter williams. Thats three names in one place. [laughter]. Is a serious buzzkill. Its always watching so people can keep an eye on me when theyre away. And even chime in with their inane reprimands. Henry, off bad boy whos to say whos a bad boy and whos not. Seems so subjective if you ask me. Nest dropcam. Welcome to a more thoughtful home. Inside stories of the week, youre up first, terry.

Reporter my inside story is about two months ago we were talking about the elections, governor corbett would win if he didnt i would take my boys out to dinner. You cant go. 17 states filed a lawsuit against the immigration order amnesty. They filed it very smartly in the Southern District of texas, ive look at this case it has a plausible chance of success. Well see jan, thanks. Who said advertising is dead. In the last two months, in the greater philadelphia area, 15 million was spent on television, that created 14,000 ads. We didnt see any, did we . This would pay for 250 careers of 250 years of tuition at penn. So dinner its enough that youre here. You dont have to pay for me. You going to mortons. Were going to mortons or capital grill.
