Show Notes

In our weekly Wednesday politics episode we’re taking a look at a business curfew bill aimed at curbing violence around businesses in Kensington, Germantown, Mt. Airy and parts of North Philly. If the bill sponsored by Council Member Quetcy Lozada is signed into law, businesses in these areas will be forced to close between 11pm and 6am. It’s a crackdown on what the city calls “nuisance” businesses. But a group of business leaders don’t want this curfew. They say it’s going to hurt the way they make money. Host Trenae Nuri talks with Isaac Avilucea, reporter at Axios Philadelphia, about the possible expanded curfew.
