A woman broke he hip becuase the sidewalks in Wilmington REALLY suck.
So she sued and won, and the city changed the rules and said, “You have to fix the sidewalk infront of your house” the Delaware Supreme Court said, “Not so fast.”
Then the mayor said, “We’ll have a fund to fix the-worst-of-the-worst.”
Then Typer Nixon said,
“The mere fact that there’s an emergency program being proposed to me is an admission that the city’s in the wrong,” he said. “Sidewalk maintenance is a charter-mandated service, so the city should create a Hope Commission for those who hope they don’t break their legs walking down the street.”
And the NJ was kind enough to explain Nixon’s joke by saying, “The Wilmington Hope Commission was created by Baker in 2005 to address the root causes of violent crime” in the very next sentence.
