When the long-simmering controversy over the statue of former Mayor Frank Rizzo reached the screaming phase this summer, city officials invited the public to offer suggestions for the monument’s future. Over the course of three weeks – late August to September 15 – more than 3,600 submissions were received online. (A lot of them are repeats or messages that cut off in the middle, but that’s how many lines were on the extensive spreadsheet provided by the city.)
After the city’s Law Department redacted personal information from those public submissions, PhillyVoiceperused them and, hoo boy, what a time that was. Many were standard “keep it where it is!” or “it has to go!” responses.
