Dear Philly Government - Please fix your internet.


Two days in a row, I have tried to access websites maintained by the City of Philadelphia. Both times, I have been incredibly disappointment. Both sites - The City of Philadelphia Revenue site and Bid Philly (a site for bidding on City Contracts) are only able to be used with Internet Explorer! We can see here that most people are using Firefox and Chrome.
Let’s get with it Philly! We have no hope of being any sort of leader in the tech, non-profit or small business worlds if entrepreneurs cannot use a computer to do basic things like pay taxes and bid on contracts.
I like doing business here, despite unfriendly taxation and other regulation. At least let me pay you, and try to bid on contracts to work with you. Please don’t keep letting me down!
