I CONFESS I AM UNCLEAR ON HOW THIS IS SUPPOSED TO HELP

by Bob Walsh

Big cities often have a crime problem. Philadelphia is not different. That's why I find it hard to understand why it is now illegal to have bullet resistant glass around cashiers booths in stores in the city. The ordinance passed 14-3.

The ordinance states that the Dept. of Licenses and Inspections must "promulgate regulations to provide for the use or removal of any physical barrier" in stores that offer food and alcohol by not later than 01-01-21.

A whole lot of retail store owners and workers were pissed and expressed their unhappiness in a city council meeting. I am willing to bet that most members of the council do not have children working in 7-11s or fast foot outlets in the city.
