Philly Dems leader Brady calls Anthony Clark a 'disgrace,' urges him to show up for work
Let the record show that Wednesday's public meeting of the Philadelphia City Commissioners came and went without a word spoken about the work habits, voting record, renewed chairmanship and half-million-dollar pension expectations of the man running the meeting, Commissioner Anthony Clark.
But within minutes of the meeting's end, a key voice that had been silent in recent days about Clark's various issues was speaking out loudly and angrily.
"He's an absolute disgrace," said U.S. Rep. Bob Brady, longtime chairman of the city's Democratic party, said of Clark. "What a piece of work."
In an interview Wednesday with The Inquirer, Brady opened up about Clark for the first time since the fellow Democrat was reelected $139,612-a-year chairman of the three commissioners, who oversee city elections. He said he had urged Clark as recently as Tuesday to step aside "just resign as chairman, and show up" for work.
