Mayor Street Hasn't Talked to Brother Milton About Legislative Run



by KYW’s Tony Romeo

Mayor Street says he hasn’t spoken to his brother about Milton Street’s plans to seek state office once again.

Milton Street submitted a nominating petition to run for the State House in the May primary.  It was rejected because it was improperly filled out. 

But a spokeswoman for state election officials says Milton Street can ask Commonwealth Court to amend the petition.

Meanwhile, Mayor Street said Thursday he hadn’t spoken to his brother:

 “I don’t know his plans and I’ll talk to him about it. It’s difficult for me to make any commitment at this time, since I don’t know anything about it. I learned from members of the media that there was a possibility that he would file nominating petitions.”

The mayor also said he wouldn’t get involved in the issue of brother Milton’s residency.  There are questions about whether Milton Street lives in the House district in which he reportedly intends to run, the 195th in Philadelphia.
