John Street “seriously considering” council run

    In an email to the Philadelphia Daily News blog Clout, Former Philadelphia Mayor John Street stated that he’s “seriously considering” a city council run, and that “this is only the beginning.”

    Street is expected to hold a news conference some time this week.

    There have been rumblings about the possibility since Street changed his party registration from Democrat to independent earlier this year.

    We’ve got Tom MacDonald on the story, and we’ll keep you updated if there’s any elaboration.
