Mayor urges council to allow curfew center 'We were on schedule to open the curfew center on May 1 of this year,' Mr. Ravenstahl said. Because of council's 'continuing delays, now we can't meet that deadline.'The city works best when the typical process of spending money is followed. A bill that goes before city council must have a public hearing if it is requested. One is slated. Then, after the public hearing, the bill can advance.
If the mayor wants quick passage of the spending of $500,000 -- then he might be asking for a chance to pull the wool over the eyes of the citizens without due process.
There is no proof that the $500,000 is going to save one person's life.

Can't believe Pedutes is backing him up on this.
Bill Peduto does not have a kid. Perhaps that's why. ???
I sorta believe it. Peduto thinks that gov can solve more than it can.
The whole campaign finance reform effort -- at the very first go-around, years ago, was about no-bid contracts and pay to play. Peduto's gang of 30. Well, I told him and it came to pass that you fight no-bid contracts by ending no-bid contracts -- not with some weird campaign finance reform that says if you give the max you can't get a contract.
Same too for curfew. If kids are slashing tires -- they are to be picked up. That's not a curfew problem. That's different.
If adults are scared to be on the street at 1 am, make it illegal to be on the streets??? No. Take back the streets. I don't want to be out then either. But, if I am, I don't want to be guilty in an automatic fashion because of the time of day / night.
