Today I sent a letter to Philadelphia's congressional delegation about the next federal aid package. The letter stresses the need for direct, flexible funding to cities, as well as PPE, housing resources, and support for our most vulnerable residents. https://t.co/kWCB1Er5eQ — PolitiTweet.org

On a positive note, May is National Bike Month. People have been taking advantage of nicer weather by walking, running, and biking for exercise. When you bike, stay 6 feet away from others and wash your hands before and after going out. Get bike safety tips from @PhillyOTIS. https://t.co/bzSx2qg08g — PolitiTweet.org

With fewer cars on the roads, some think that they can speed, run red lights, and ignore stop signs. This week, police reported three traffic deaths in a matter of days. Residents who see illegal traffic behavior can call 9-1-1. Disobeying traffic laws will not be tolerated. https://t.co/L9MlKakVym — PolitiTweet.org

This decline reflects the tremendous drop in economic activity throughout the city as a result of the COVID-19 shutdown. We knew this was coming, and it's why our administration proposed a belt-tightening #PHLbudget for the coming fiscal year. https://t.co/7erRBcKgrD — PolitiTweet.org

April tax collections totaled about half that of April 2019—the first clear indicator of the impact of COVID-19 on City revenue. Some of the 47% decline is due to the deadline extension for the Business Income Receipts Tax (BIRT). Excluding BIRT, Apr 2020 is ~15% below Apr 2019. — PolitiTweet.org
