Two in Council at odds over bill

The majority leader tabled a rival's resolution, saying it undermines her
proposal on historic preservation.

The divide among Democrats on City Council was placed on prominent display
yesterday when Majority Leader Jannie L. Blackwell exercised her political
muscle to squash a resolution championed by one of her opponents on
Council.

Yesterday's squabble began when Councilman James F. Kenney tried to
introduce a resolution authorizing Council's Legislative Oversight
Committee - which he chairs - to hold public hearings on the city's
historic preservation code.

Blackwell called the move "offensive" to her efforts to hold hearings on a
bill she introduced earlier this year that would transfer authority to
designate historic districts from the Philadelphia Historical Commission
to City Council . . .
