CITY HALL SAM: Politicians With Summer Style

No one stood out more at the Philly Style Party than Philadelphia STATE SENS. ANTHONY HARDY WILLIAMS and LARRY FARNESE. Williams sported a purple paisley bow tie with a blue custom suit and conservative, yet stylish, cognac-tinted loafers. Farnese sported a blue pinstripe suit with pink tie and Ferragamo shoes. They were among many luminaries on hand. However, Sen. Williams beautiful wife SHARI stood out with her stylish black Spell dress and statuesque figure.

Further down I-95, CONGRESSMAN BOB BRADY joined his new colleagues in Northeast Philadelphia. Brady picked up the river wards in the recent redistricting process. He will represent some territory formerly represented by CONGRESSWOMAN ALLYSON SCHWARTZ. Speaking of style, Brady wore his trademark Tommy Bahama silk shirt with khakis to the press conference announcing that Holy Family University had won the right to develop the former Liddonfield Public Housing Site.

COUNCILMAN BOB HENON, STATE REP. MIKE McGEEHAN and STATE SEN. MIKE STACK had worked hard to advocate for Holy Family and they were successful. Schwartz, Brady, Stack, McGeehan, and Henon stood with SISTER FRANCESCA ONLEY of Holy Family to announce the development will move forward. Also on hand was NANCY MOROZIN of the famous Morozin family. The Morozins are the owners of the Northeast Landmark, the Dining Car. Nancy gathered nearly 7,000 signatures from Northeast neighborhoods advocating for the Holy Family Plan. She is a successful businesswoman and a former student of Sister Francesca. STAN CYWINSKI and BOB HALL of Upper Holmesburg Civic Association were on hand, and so was powerful 41st WARD LEADER CONNIE DOUGHERTY. Connie is no relation to the more-famous JOHN DOUGHERTY. But the powerful labor leader’s presence could be felt at the announcement. Henon is a former business agent for Local 98.

ALAN BUTKOVITZ continues to drive hard against the City’s antiquated taxing system. It is difficult to keep track of the number of audits he currently has under way. He even has a summer-intern program where students participate in audits of the school district. Among them is West Virginia University senior JUSTIN WHITMORE.
