An excerpt...
"After learning that Commonwealth Court yesterday had affirmed his place on the May primary ballot, T. Milton Street said he wants to mount a serious campaign focused on dealing with the epidemic of homicide in the African-American community.
Street, who is running for a Democratic nomination to City Council at-large, was challenged last month by a voter who questioned nominating petitions circulated by Street's son, T. Milton Street Jr. The challenger argued that the younger Street's home address on the nominating petitions was different from his voting address.
But Common Pleas Court last month ruled in the candidate's favor, and Commonwealth Court yesterday affirmed that ruling.
Street, brother of Mayor John Street, is one of 19 candidates competing for five at-large nominations in the May 15 election.
Attorney Jeremy Walker, representing Samuel Harris, who challenged Street's petitions, said Commonwealth Court Judge Rochelle Friedman had failed to follow past Supreme Court rulings.
But he said an appeal to the Supreme Court was unlikely, though he had to sit down with Harris to make a final decision." |
