Caving in to pressure from an emotional crowd in Fishtown on Monday night, state rep. Michael O'Brien (D-175th dist) said he would grant the SugarHouse casino riverfront land rights, even without a signed benefits agreement between the casino and the Northern Liberties Neighbors Association.
"If you come to me with a community benefits agreement signed by the Fishtown Neighbors Association and Fishtown Action, I'll introduce the legislation," O'Brien told Fishtown residents of his willingness to support the lands rights.

Shame on Mike O'Brien!
