Foglietta Nominated To Face Rizzo In November
Republicans were heavily outregistered by Democrats and quickly nominated former City Councilman Thomas Foglietta to challenge Frank Rizzo in November. A related policy debate over the need for bombers in nuclear or guerrilla warfare framed the broader 82 billion weapons authorization, which is 3.7 billion under Ford’s request and spans a 15 month transition year. Beth Brock Adams noted the bill would trim deficits and shift budget timing. Rizzo campaigned across Philadelphia, aided by the labor movement, while Hill acknowledged defeat amid mixed support in black neighborhoods.
