Wednesday round-up

Apparently I only do the quick type these days; some headlines with snark:

• Outcry grows over Phila. school cuts-- Budget critics force one-day delay in vote on new spending plan (because if it happens one day later, the damage to programs and students will be much less painful)
  
  
• Related: DN opinion piece TUNE IN TOMORROW -- THE SCHOOL BUDGET DRAMA ISN'T OVER YET (all-caps headers in no danger either)
  
  
• Blackjack and roulette put on the table for consideration -- Even the bill's sponsor says Pennsylvania might not be ready yet for such games. (but if we mention them over and over, eventually the opposition will diminish)
  
  
• Managing director will leave city post -- Pedro Ramos, for two years the deputy to Mayor Street, will return to private law practice next month.
  More on the story here: Managing-director shift: Ramos out, lobbyist in
  
  
• Senator critical of SEPTA's delay in raising fares (paints self as total putz for all to see)
  
  
• At Pa. panel, most oppose term limits (public, regardless of viewpoint, faints with surprise)
  
  
• PW: Usual Suspects -- The police union and Commissioner Johnson disagree about who should attend strategy sessions.
  
  
• Inky: Editorial | City Year
  
  
• PoliticsPA: The GOP’s Perzel Problem (via YPP)
  
  
• Not about Philly, but appropriate: Passing the gravy.
