Your City Hall is too busy to even tell you what's up

Listen, youse know Keisha stays on top of what's happening at City Hall, right? But I'm not even gonna hold you, sometimes these jawns make it hard to do my job. We're talking about the public's right to know what their elected officials are actually doing with their wooder, I mean, tax dollars.

### Where's the Info, Jawn?

I was trying to get youse the real scoop on what kind of issues people are calling 311 about, what permits are getting pulled for all these new buildings popping up everywhere. And what did I get? "Miscellaneous: ? requests," "Maintenance Complaint: ? requests," "BP_ALTER: N/A." N/A? Nah, that ain't gonna cut it, Philly.

* We got "Miscellaneous" as the top jawn for 311 calls. What does that even mean? Is it potholes? Stray cats? People mad about the Eagles' play-calling? We need specifics, or nah?

* And for development, it's just N/A across the board. Like nobody's building anything in Philly? Come on, youse see the cranes yourself.

This is the public's data, and it needs to be transparent. It's tough to hold these politicians accountable when the info is hidden behind question marks and "N/A"s. We need to demand more clarity from these jawns at City Hall. Let's see if they clean this up next time.

That's the jawn, Philly — we don't do fake out here.
