March 6, 2014 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: For the reasons set forth below, I hereby return to your Honorable Body without signature Bill No. 130852, which passed on February 20, 2014. This Bill would purport to require that in general, contracts for provision of conflict counsel services be subject to a financial audit to be submitted to Council by the Director of Finance, a "quality control audit" by an experienced attorney in the field, and reporting of certain other information. As my Administration has made clear, it is crucial to ensure the quality of conflict counsel services secured by the City for indigent defendants. I welcome Council's shared commitment in this area.

The Bill would require an annual financial aud...

March 6, 2014 TO THE PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA: For the reasons set forth herein, I hereby return to your Honorable Body without signature Bill No. 130851, which passed on February 20, 2014. This Bill would authorize the placement on the May 20, 2014 ballot a proposed Charter amendment to require that Council approve City contracts of a year or less, in excess of $100,000, for providing legal representation to indigent persons. I and my Administration believe it is crucial that conflict counsel and other indigent legal services funded by the City are of the highest quality, and meet the standards set not only by our Constitution, but by our consciences and our intrinsic sense of justice. As I stated directly to the sponsor recently, I stand ready to partner with Council in ensuring that we meet these high standards. I can appreciate that the expressed intention behind this Bill is to ensure that legal repre...
