We applaud The Philadelphia Inquirer for spreading sunshine on the mysterious and troubling transactions leading to the construction of the new Family Court building here in Philadelphia. We applaud the governor and the chief justice for stepping up to the plate — albeit belatedly — and agreeing to re-bid the project so as to cleanse it of the unseemly taint of double-dipping, conflicts of interest, no-bid contracts and unwritten agreements. But moving ahead requires more than just a re-bid; it also requires a critical look back.
We call on the governor to appoint an investigative commission to ferret out what happened, why it happened, and whether it should not have happened; and to make recommendations, if needed, to prevent it from happening again.
