A Philadelphia City Councilwoman is trying to crack down
on people who are charging for some services the general public can get for
free.
Councilwoman Maria Quinones-Sanchez says some expeditors
charge contractors for obtaining permits that can be obtained for free from
city government.
"What we wanted to do in not penalize the legitimate
expeditors with what we understand to be folks perpetrating to be able to
provide building plans, and all the things that expeditors do," she said.
Quinones-Sanchez says the bill mandates documentation of
expeditors' work so there is a paper trail if something goes wrong.
