Philly City Council Imposes 10PM Curfew For Minors

Philadelphia’s CBS affiliate reports:

Philadelphia’s summertime curfew could soon become permanent. City council passed a bill Thursday afternoon that would make the summer curfew permanent. Councilmember Katherine Gilmore Richardson proposed the legislation and is a mother herself.

Gilmore Richardson says her goal is to protect Philadelphia’s young people who all too often fall victim to the city’s violence.
