Clarke
Councilman Darrell Clarke Hates Your Civil Rights!
Submitted by LarryWest on Tue, 12/11/2007 - 5:17pm.No longer content with simply tracking your purchases and banning "offensive" images, he now wants to personally oversee where restaurants go. I'll simplify the bill for you; If you have a take-out restaurant, then your going to be zoned just like if you were a strip club! In order to get a variance from the city, you would need to talk to your City Council rep. And, oh look, Clarke is in control of half of Center City! Namely, the WESTERN HALF! Considering that means everything west of City Hall, the business district and the places where the most revitalization has happened, it's obvious that this bill is here to make life hell for anyone running a business.
Credit where's Credit Due, City Council President Anna Verna is also sponsoring the bill.
Let's not forget what Darrell Clarke also wants to do:
Clarke wants to ban being able to display nooses, burning crosses, and swastikas in public. Being a fan of the First Amendment, as well as belonging to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, a First Amendment group, I oppose it with every American bone in my body. It doesn't mean I entirely agree with these symbols, but at the same time, let's consider that the Swastika alone has a VERY long history of non-violence before the freakin' Nazi's bastardized it.
It's all detailed here in Bill No. 070914.
He also wants to pass two other bills. Both would create electronic tracking of beer, alcohol, spray paint containers, indelible markers and etching acid!
Bill No.: 070875 - The bill that would track cigarettes and beer:

Bill No.: 070876 - The bill that would track spray paint:
