Asked to respond to the events of the last two weeks, elected officials in Philadelphia have decried Fenerty's behavior. But several also raised an overarching concern about the authority's structure. "I was adamantly opposed - didn't have a vote - when it was taken over," said City Council President Darrell L. Clarke, who was a freshman councilman at the time. "But it was hijacked in the middle of the night by a couple of legislators. . . . I think it should be back under local control."
