Today is not a national holiday, but for many people who love pop culture they are treating it like one. In the movie Back to the Future II, the main character, Marty McFly, played by Michael J. Fox, travels from 1989 to October 21, 2015. So, with today being that date, the folks at City Tap House in Center City decided to have a party. A Back to the Future themed, Parkinson’s disease fundraiser, where they’ll show all three Back to the Future movies, make some drinks inspired by the films and play music synonymous with the blockbuster. Part of the proceeds from the party , which runs from 5 p.m. until 2 a.m., will go to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. Back to the Future also predicted that in 2015 the Chicago Cubs would win the World Series, and to the surprise of many those Cubs are currently playing for the National League Championship Series.
A state Senate committee Tuesday tackled the issue of reforming the law that allows authorities to take and keep property suspected of being used in certain crimes, including drug dealing, even when the owner hasn’t been convicted. University of Pennsylvania law professor Louis Rulli detailed some of the excesses of what’s known as civil forfeiture law. Rulli told the state Senate Judiciary Committee a Penn Law Clinic client’s young child had her piggy bank seized by police investigating the alleged wrongdoing of a third person. The Senate bill would, among other things, require that an owner be convicted of a crime in order for authorities to keep property or assets seized in an investigation.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter has endorsed four city council candidates, including an independent candidate running for one of seven at-large seats. The independent has a shot at unseating one of the Republican incumbents.
Mayor Nutter endorsed the two incumbent at-large Democrats and one of the three Democrats running for the first time, but he also endorsed his former bike-share guru, Andrew Stober, who’s running as an independent. There are seven at-large seats, but no party can run more than five candidates so, even with the Democrats’ registration edge, two of the seats have been occupied by Republicans for decades.
