Here’s a new GOP effort to thwart local autonomy. They’re denying Krasner jurisdiction over crimes within 500 yards of SEPTA property. Basically all of Philly is within 509 yards of property owned by the transit authority. The autocraticness is relentless. Utterly relentless.

All politics is/are local.

what crimes are they planning then ?

Reminded of when I was arguing with people about anti democratic Dem state parties a few months ago and they pretended to think that was impossible.

it's a border patrol type law...

Before they lost the House last year, Rs there were impeaching Krasner!
