For decades, have watched reporters like me stand outside this building, and see politicians, that they elected come and go out of the building, a lot of times go in hand cuffs to federal prison, extremely rare to see the number one Law Enforcement official in the city who pursued and got convictions and guilty pleas for politicians, for taking bribes and put them away to be charged himself. Engage in series every corrupt transactions, in which he sought and accepted bribes, and in the form every monday i, expensive vacations airasia line tickets, jaguar convertible, expensive furniture, extreme form every payment came in the form of 2,000 in cash, a 7,000 check, which mr. Williams deposited into his personal vacation to punta cana and the Dominican Republic worth about 6,300. Mr. Williams simply took money that did not belong to him. And then he lied about it. So in the past six months, philadelphia voters have seen top state Law Enforcement officer, and kathleen cane convicted every crime, northern the top city Law Enforcement officers, District Attorney charged with 23 crimes. Hypocrisy cry many now that the da who took the cases of those five local state reps that came refused to prosecute and then got those guilty pleas and convictions for them taking way smaller cash gift as little as 500 and a thousand bucks, and then a 2,000 tiffany bracelet, got convictions on them. Alex, thomas, do not expect to see mr. William walk into the courtroom here because he has not resigned just yet. Still has his sex your at this detail, so hes got those two officers, likely use the security clearance to be driven into the underground ramps here of the federal courthouse to come and go for his arraignment today. Not until the ends of the year, First Assistant just appointed to the job, just thursday, is said to be running the offers now and would take over if the da does resign. For now still the District Attorney, as we saw with kathleen canes case, we are watching these two together, she didnt quit even after she was charged and even after she lost her law license. So dont expect him to quit either a lot of people say. He needs that 175,000 salary. The city no longer paying for legal fees. Thats the case, paying for a lot of his travel still and these are a lot of the things that people dont want to pay for, and thats why theyre cries from everybody from the editorials of the newspaper, to the bar association, everyone saying he should quit and quit now. Much more coverage on the charges against Seth Williams coming up at 7 30. Thank you, steve. Time 7 07. Stunning by falling sales at philadelphia stores, since the city started taxing soda. Pepsi we understand now pulling its products from store shelves. The company says it want to offer products and package sizes working families can better afford. So for more on this with Lauren Johnson in center city, lauren . Hello alex. You know the famous bottles, now, pepsi says theyre going to sling these downing to be a little smaller and the reason they say is because of philadelphias soda tax. Theyre saying, that these are not selling in locations like the 7eleven where we are this morning, so they want to change it up to make it a little more affordable. Says it is an example of the product and package sizes working families are more able to afford. Pepsi reports larger sales down 50 in the city even more at grocery stores, pepsi threatening to eliminate up to 100 positions in philadelphia if the tax is not reversed so this one and a half cents per ounce tax on sweeten and diet drinks is imposed at the distributor level and passed down to the customers, sometimes that sticker shock can be so impact full that we leave the product just sitting there, which means, there are no sales for Companies Like pepsi. The companys decision comes after labels like pepsi, mountain dew, gatorade, lip ton iced tea, and in response to this mayor kenney the man behind the soda tax says the industry has been trending toward smaller sizes well before that tax was passed. To defends that position, spokesperson for coke says it is not the soda tax that made them remember think their packaging sizes, they say, it is what consumers wanted and it is what they asked for. Pepsi, saying, thats part of equation. But the bigger deal here in philadelphia, is the soda tax so they have to sling these bottles down just a little bit to probably a 1 liter bottle alex and thomas .
