Just as expected, Mayor Nutter yesterday smacked down a bill that would require most city employers to provide paid sick leave.
The bill, introduced in 2008 by City Councilmen Bill Greenlee and Darrell Clarke, barely made it out of Council nearly two weeks ago with a 9-8 vote.

As expected, Mayor Nutter vetoed a bill Tuesday that would have required many businesses to allow their employees to accrue paid sick time.
Because City Council doesn't meet again until Sept. 8, the bill's sponsors have the summer to lobby for the 12 votes necessary to overturn the mayor - but that could be a daunting task.
The bill passed this month with the minimum of nine votes amid the horse-trading of several contentious tax-hike proposals.
