The Queen of reform

It looks like Queena Bass is the Ultimate Reformer.

Bass is the only mayoral candidate to say she supports all 24 initiatives from R.E.F.O.R.M. Philadelphia's Reform Ballot.

Bob Brady supports 22, Tom Knox and Michael Nutter 21, Dwight Evans and Jesus White 19 and Chaka Fattah 18. Each candidate gets a scoresheet to show which parts of the plan they support.

Note that only Bass agrees with setting term limits for members of council to no more than three consecutive terms. Also, Brady joined the other candidates who called for public campaign financing with last week's Clean and Fair Election pledge. He approves of it here, while Knox still sits out that one.

The group compiled all of the answers from as many mayoral and Council candidates as it could. Some of those that didn't respond include Carol Campbell, Anna Verna, Jannie Blackwell, Donna Reed Miller, Dan Savage, and the entire Ninth District field.

It says there that Brady supports a nationwide search for a police commissioner. I thought he said during the debate last night that he does not.

Brady mumbled something about doing an internal search first (appeasing the FOP, according to DE who claimed that they didn't want Timoney back) but I'm sure that a nationwide search would be inevitable if there was no qualified candidate in-house. Maybe that's what he meant (or he needs to get a new pair of beach footwear).
