Room. The event is already packed with Elephant RSVPs but MARC COLLAZZO and the Loyal Opposition will make room for you. Speaking of Marc, did you catch his Open Letter blasting GOV. ED RENDELL about the DRPA pet projects that cost you and me tens of millions? This guy has the right stuff! Give him a pat on the back next time you see him. Until next time, my “large and in charge” brothers and sisters. citizens. If this mistrust continues, murders won’t get solved, crimes will continue to go up, and Police will continue to be killed or shot at. I know that bringing that up may be unpopular, but it’s the truth. Maybe it’s something that the Commissioner Ramsey needs to think about before getting in front of a live microphone and wishing for a suspect’s death.

(Cont. From Page 10) tribute to the attitude that leads to things like Officer Pawlowski’s death. If people believe the police are out to get them, guess what they’re going to do? Shoot to avoid getting shot. Right now, there is some serious mistrust between the Police and many of the city’s

(Cont. From Page 10) will be more ‘cuts’ coming, as our budget problems keep growing.” Wake up Philadelphians, we are in serious trouble. Now the shame of it all is we still have Council People who don’t care! Snooper’s LATE NEWS Bureau: Word has come to us a very good friend and former State Senator, HON. NICK STAMPONE, died. He was so proud of The Great Northeast and all the wonderful people up there. He enjoyed The Councilwoman, Hon. Joan Krajewski, who was always there to help him. He was a professional HARMONICA PLAYER who just loved playing in the area’s local CLUBS and BARS. Tony Carmen, local KARAOKE SINGER, said, “Nick Stampone was a great harmonica player and I enjoyed being on stage with him.” The Senator will be missed by many of his political friends. The Public Record and The Snooper will also miss him. TO: Kathleen, Richard and Nick, Jr.: God Bless. Snooper Updates (3-1-1): Hey Boss, apparently I was correct when I told you and all our readers this system STINKS. I am confused why The Mayor still defends this
useless 3-1-1 system. They spent tons of money on it, and it still STINKS! That’s monies we could have spent on LIBRARIES, ETC. Snooper City Hall Bureau: Congratulations to HON. GUY SABELLI, Supervisor, Marriage License Bureau. They did it once again with their annual VALENTINE DAY’S special. I understand HON. PAMELA PRYOR DEMBE, President Judge, along with HON. MARSHA NIEFELD, the newly elected President Judge, Municipal Court, presided over these proceedings in Courtroom 653 City Hall. HON. HOLLY FORD, Judge, Common Pleas, was the “Supervising Judge”, along with Judges from both the Court of Common Pleas and Municipal Court – 16 Judges altogether performed over 45 WEDDINGS. Another year, another great job too! Snooper’s Special Warning: This comes from a very interested source, HON. LYNNE ABRAHAM, District Attorney. BEWARE of anyone who is trying to sell you a house, especially if they ask you for CASH. Your answer is NO, NO! Don’t sign any documents for purchase, because more than likely it’s A PHONY. If you’re foolish enough to sign one of these deeds, in reality, YOU-
